Hyderabad, July 25: The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has forecast light to moderate rainfall across parts of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana over the next three days. The weather department also warned that thunderstorms, lightning and gusty winds may accompany the showers in several districts.

IMD rain forecast for Andhra Pradesh and Telangana
In Andhra Pradesh, the IMD has predicted rainfall in Srikakulam, Vizianagaram, Parvathipuram Manyam, Visakhapatnam, Anakapalli, Eluru, Krishna and YSR Kadapa districts. Moderate rainfall is also likely in parts of the Rayalaseema region.
The department said winds with speeds of 30 to 40 kmph may accompany the rain, leading to a drop in daytime temperatures and relatively cooler weather conditions.
In Telangana, the Hyderabad Meteorological Centre has forecast light to moderate rain in northern and northeastern districts. Thunderstorms and lightning are also expected in isolated places.
Several districts in Telangana have already received rainfall over the past few days. However, rainfall remains below the seasonal average despite the southwest monsoon being active. Weather officials attribute the shortfall to the influence of the El Niño phenomenon, which has affected monsoon rainfall across parts of the region.
The IMD has advised people to monitor weather updates and follow safety guidelines during periods of heavy rain and thunderstorms.
