Meteorological Department on Tuesday issued a heavy to very heavy rain alert for parts of the states for the next five days. The weather department predicted that rainfall is likely to increase over parts of coastal Andhra Pradesh. The rainfall activity will increase under the influence of a low-pressure area formed in the Bay of Bengal. Moreover, the low-pressure area is expected to concentrate into a depression. 

"The low-pressure area formed off north Andhra Pradesh and south Odisha coasts is likely to concentrate into a



depression in the next 24 hours, resulting in widespread rainfall in several parts of the state for the next five days," said an official of the Met department.

As per the latest updates, the weather system is likely to move in a north-westerly direction across north AP and south Odisha coasts.

Isolated places over north coastal AP and Yanam are expected to witness extremely heavy rainfall on Tuesday. With this, heavy to very heavy rainfall is likely at some isolated places over south coastal AP and Rayalaseema.
