In a crucial update for residents of Andhra Pradesh, the Visakhapatnam Meteorological Center has announced the imminent formation of another low-pressure system over West Central and North West Bay of bengal on september 5th. This development comes amid ongoing relief efforts in flood-affected areas, highlighting the need for continued caution and preparedness.
Although the recent heavy rains have abated, the weather department has identified a persistent surface circulation influenced by the Monsoon trough along the coast. This situation is expected to lead to scattered showers across the state, with the potential for heavy rain in certain regions.

Nonetheless, residents in these districts should be prepared for heavy rain and possible disruptions.
