In its wake, officials have warned that heavy to very heavy rainfall is expected across several districts, including Vizianagaram, Visakhapatnam, Anakapalle, Kakinada, Yanam, Konaseema, and East Godavari.

Additional regions, such as Eluru, Krishna, Guntur, Bapatla, Alluri, Manyam, and Srikakulam, may also experience significant rainfall throughout the day. Authorities are urged to remain vigilant as the storm approaches.
