After a severe heat wave for the last week, there is respite with the rains in Andhra Pradesh. However, the heavy rains in many parts have created havoc, especially in Rayalaseema. Heavy rains lashed the Halaharvi Mandal of Kurnool district by recording 4 cm of rainfall. The bends and ditches in the villages of the Mandal are overflowing and disrupting traffic. Traffic to Nitrampatti and Google villages was disrupted. The temporary bridge at Medeahall was cut.
The reason behind the rain is due to the cyclone Asani, expecting to hit Southern India. On the other hand, Nellore, Kavali, and Guldur were lashed by torrential rains. Rajahmundry also received heavy rains in Kakinada in East Godavari district and Konaseema followed by Rushikonda, Enda, and Dairy Farm areas of Visakhapatnam district received heavy rainfall.
