In Andhra Pradesh, the cold snap hit the Manyam districts hard. Residents in these areas avoided stepping outdoors due to the chill. Conditions in Paderu and Araku worsened as water began to freeze. Temperatures were recorded at 4 degrees Celsius in both areas. Fields also froze, which disrupted farming work, and farmers could not attend to their lands early in the morning. The minimum temperature in Minumuluru fell to 4 degrees, and Chintapalli recorded 5.5 degrees. The cold did not ease even after 9 am, adding to the discomfort of people in the region.
