Indian Metrological Department Weather Update: Cold Wave, Heavy Rain For next 2 days | Check Here

The Indian Metrological Department (IMD) on Friday predicted that for the next two days East India and coastal Andhra Pradesh are likely to be under a wet spell. This wet spell is the resultant of a cyclonic circulation that lies over south Konkan in lower tropospheric levels

The forecast mentioned that scattered to fairly widespread light or moderate rainfall is very likely over Coastal Andhra Pradesh during 14 to 16 January. The state is also likely to receiver isolated heavy rainfall on 14th January.

• Isolated to scattered light or moderate rainfall is likely over Marathwada, Vidarbha, Chhattisgarh and Telangana between 14-15 January.
