Severe weather conditions have impacted Andhra Pradesh, beginning with heavy rains and thunderstorms caused by a low-pressure area. This initial system resulted in two deaths in the Palnadu district, where individuals reportedly suffered cardiac arrest due to loud thunder. The rainfall also caused flooding in areas such as Nidadavole and prompted warnings for gusty winds along the North Andhra coast. The weather situation escalated as a severe cyclonic storm developed over the Bay of Bengal. Expected to make landfall between Srikakulam and Kaviti with wind speeds up to 85 kmph, the cyclone triggered heavy to extremely heavy rainfall across multiple districts. Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu directed district collectors to prioritize public safety and monitor river flows to regulate reservoir storage. The Real Time Governance Society (RTGS) was placed on high alert to track weather patterns and disseminate real-time advisories via mobile phones. As the system progressed, heavy rainfall and cyclonic activity triggered widespread flooding, landslides, and infrastructure damage. In the Alluri Sitarama Raju, Parvathipuram Manyam, and Vizianagaram districts, submerged roads and uprooted trees have isolated numerous villages. In the ASR district, a washed-away bridge has cut off connectivity to 15 villages, while landslides have blocked national highways and ghat roads in the Paderu and Koyyuru regions. In the Godavari districts, authorities are monitoring expected inflows of approximately four lakh cusecs from the Sabari and other upper catchments. Officials remain on high alert as this water is expected to reach the river within 48 hours. In the Polavaram district, 17 relief centers have been identified to support 22 vulnerable villages, with rescue teams, boats, and medical supplies prepared. In Rajamahendravaram, incessant rain has caused waterlogging, power disruptions, and downed trees. Additionally, the Vijayawada Municipal Corporation (VMC) is managing sanitation challenges.
