Hyderabad, May 8 (Maxim News): Even as the summer season continues across the Telugu states, several districts in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana are witnessing widespread rainfall and cloudy weather. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has warned that the rain activity is likely to intensify over the next two to three days due to the impact of a low-pressure area over the Bay of Bengal.
