Andhra Pradesh will begin to experience heatwave conditions starting May 8 (Monday) as the temperatures are set to rise across the districts.
India Meteorological Department, Amaravati, has stated that there will be no rainfall activity, or impact over Andhra Pradesh due to the cyclonic storm that is likely to form over the Bay of Bengal during the next week.
The cyclonic circulation over southeast Bay of Bengal is likely to form by Monday morning, and it will further concentrate into a depression on Tuesday.
Isolated places in various districts are likely to receive light to moderate rainfall on Monday and Tuesday due to a cyclonic circulation that continues to lie over southwest Bay of Bengal off the North Tamil Nadu coast.
Andhra Pradesh State Disaster Management Authority has said that heatwave conditions are likely to prevail in 11 mandals of various districts — Alluri Sitharama Raju (4 mandals), Anakapalli (4), Kakinada (2) and Parvathipuram Manyam (1) on Monday.
Similarly, 15 mandals in six North Coastal Andhra districts are likely to experience heatwave conditions on Tuesday.
The maximum temperatures are likely to cross the 40° Celsius at many places on Monday and Tuesday. Temperatures will gradually rise during the coming week. Peak summer temperatures are usually recorded in May in the State every year.
Meanwhile, several mandals in various districts received moderate to heavy rain on Sunday and during the intervening period between Saturday and Sunday.
The highest maximum temperature of 38.2° Celsius was recorded at Nandyal and the lowest maximum temperature of 31° Celsius at Arogyavaram of Srikakulam.
