The ongoing extreme low pressure in the Southeast Bay of Bengal is expected to move west-northwestward and strengthen into a depression by Thursday. The IMD report stated that it will then move northwestward, becoming a cyclonic storm in the southwest Bay of Bengal adjacent to the southeast Bay of Bengal by December 2.

The heavy rains are expected in Rayalaseema and South Coastal Andhra, while the impact will be less in the North Coast. Coastal Andhra and Rayalaseema can expect light to moderate rains from December 2nd to 5th.

On December 2nd, Tirupati, Chittoor, and Nellore districts will experience heavy rains. On December 3rd, heavy rains will occur in Tirupati, Chittoor, Nellore, Prakasam, YSR, and Annamayya districts. On December 4th, Nellore, Prakasam, Bapatla, Krishna, Guntur, Palnadu, YSR, Annamaiya, Nandyal and NTR districts will experience heavy rains. Finally, on December 5th, NTR, Eluru, Krishna, Guntur, Palnadu, West Godavari, Konaseema, Bapatla, East Godavari, Kakinada, Alluri Seetharamaraju, and Anakapalli districts will also experience heavy rains.

The IMD has advised farmers to be cautious as the rains may damage crops, especially rice crops that are ready for harvesting. It is recommended to harvest them immediately.
