Visakhapatnam: Cyclonic storm Roane that came close to the Andhra Pradesh coast and brought rains extensively, gave a momentary relief from the heat conditions. After the system moved towards West Bengal and Bangladesh, the severe heat condition returned to the State on Sunday.

Though day temperatures in Vizag region haven’t crossed 36 degrees Celsius on Sunday, the humidity levels made life miserable for locals and people of surrounding districts.
