Fresh low pressure likely to bring more rains to AP

Hyderabad, Jul 30 (UNI) Andhra Pradesh, which saw revival of the south-west monsoon, will get more rains as a fresh low pressure area is likely to form over west-central and adjoining north-west Bay of Bengal in the next two days.

Yesterday's well marked low pressure area over east Vidarbha and adjoining areas of east Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh had become less marked. Consequently, decreased rainfall activity was likely over southern peninsula, India Meteorological Department officials told UNI.

Interpretation of numerical weather prediction models and current meteorological analysis suggest that a fresh low pressure area was likely to form over westcentral and adjoining northwest Bay of Bengal around August 1, causing enhanced rainfall activity over peninsular India.

Under its influence, rainfall activity would increase in the state after 48 hours.

Moderate to rather heavy rain or thundershowers were likely to occur at many places over north coastal Andhra Pradesh. Light to moderate rain or thundershowers were likely to occur at a few places over Telangana, Rayalaseema and in the remaining districts of coastal Andhra Pradesh. A spell of rain or thundershowers were likely in parts of Hyderabad.

Rain occurred at a few places over coastal Andhra Pradesh and Telangana in the last 24 hours. Isolated rain occurred over Rayalaseema during the period.

Koida recorded five cm rain, while Dummagudem four cm, Venkatapuram and Yellandu recorded three cm each.
