Telangana and Andhra Pradesh are likely to have heavy rains in the coming days as the first depression of the season has developed over the bay of bengal and is moving in the west-northwest direction.

Visakhapatnam cyclone warning center said that the low-pressure area in the bay of bengal turned into severe depression. It is currently concentrated over the eastern bay of bengal and the northern Andaman Sea. It turned out to be a cyclone on Sunday. It will turn out to be a severe cyclone in the next 24 hours. The severe cyclone is expected to travel west-northwest and cross the coast in north coastal Andhra.

On the other hand, another low-pressure area is likely to form around the northern Andaman Sea on the 14th of this month, the Met Office said. The Amravati meteorological department has forecast heavy to very heavy rains across the state for the next four days especially in parts of Godavari and Krishna districts on Monday, officials said.

Winds along the coast on Sunday and Monday are expected to reach speeds of 45-70 kilometers per hour. The fishermen were advised not to go fishing. The Visakhapatnam cyclone warning center has already issued red, orange and yellow warnings for the coastal and Rrayalaseema districts.

On the other hand, Telangana chief minister K Chandrashekhar Rao has asked people to be careful and alert as there is a likelihood of heavy-to-very heavy rains lashing the State in the next two days. Heavy rainfall has been reported from several places in the State on Sunday. The CM instructed chief Secretary Sri Somesh Kumar to keep the entire official machinery on the high alert.
