Thunderstorms and Lightning
Thunderstorms accompanied by lightning are expected to occur across NCAP, Yanam, SCAP, and Rayalaseema throughout the five-day forecast period. The IMD has highlighted the potential for lightning strikes, which could pose risks to human life, livestock, and property. Residents are advised to avoid open fields, tall trees, and metal objects during thunderstorms to minimize the risk of lightning-related incidents.

Meteorological Factors
The IMD attributes these weather conditions to an upper air cyclonic circulation currently prevailing over South Odisha and adjoining North Coastal Andhra Pradesh. This circulation extends up to 4.5 km above mean sea level and tilts southwards, influencing the weather patterns across Andhra Pradesh. The cyclonic circulation is expected to drive the heavy rainfall, thunderstorms, and windy conditions throughout the forecast period.

-
Infrastructure and Transportation: Heavy rainfall and strong winds may lead to waterlogging, road closures, and disruptions in public transportation. Authorities are encouraged to ensure proper drainage systems and emergency response mechanisms are in place.
