The India Meteorological Department has issued a rain alert for the Telugu states of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, warning of continued rainfall over the next three days. According to officials, the current weather disturbance is linked to a surface trough extending from Telangana and Rayalaseema down towards the Comorin region.

Areas such as Polavaram, Visakhapatnam, Anakapalli, Kakinada, East Godavari, Dr. B.R. Ambedkar Konaseema, Alluri Sitharama Raju, and Parvathipuram Manyam are expected to see rainfall activity. Similar conditions are forecast in Tirupati, Chittoor, West Godavari, Srikakulam, and Vizianagaram districts.

Authorities have also cautioned residents about lightning risks, advising people to avoid standing under trees or in open spaces during thunderstorms.
