IMD Forecasts Thunderstorms in Andhra Pradesh and Hot Winds in Telangana Amid Low-Pressure System

The India Meteorological Department (IMD) forecasts thunderstorms, lightning, and gusty winds in parts of Andhra Pradesh over the next five days due to a low-pressure system over the Bay of Bengal.

The low-pressure system is intensifying but has not yet been confirmed as a cyclone.
