Temperatures in Andhra Pradesh are currently higher than normal, and the southwest monsoon has not been active for the past two weeks. While July saw some rainfall, the situation changed in the first week of August. Over the past two weeks, rainfall has been sporadic and not heavy. People are suffering from the heat, and farmers are eagerly waiting for the rains.
The Meteorological Department predicts that due to unfavorable weather conditions for low-pressure systems in the Bay of Bengal and the weakening of the southwest monsoon, rainfall in the state will decrease. Normally, during this season, winds blow from the southwest direction.
