Heavy Rain Forecast for Andhra Pradesh
Currently, a trough extends from the northeast Arabian Sea to a surface circulation linked to a low-pressure area over the Ganges in West Bengal, reaching altitudes of between 4.5 km and 7.6 km above sea level across regions including South Gujarat, North Central Maharashtra, Vidarbha, South Chhattisgarh, and South Odisha, as well as over Andhra Pradesh and Yanam. Lower tropospheric southwest and westerly winds are contributing to the expected weather conditions.

Irrigation projects in AP and Telangana overflows amid rains
Projects across the Telugu states are grappling with significant flooding as a result of heavy rainfall in upstream regions, leading to sustained high water levels in the Krishna and Godavari rivers. The recent deluge has caused numerous irrigation projects to reach their full capacity. At the Tungabhadra Dam, which is experiencing substantial inflows, the situation remains critical. With the dam currently registering an inflow of 42,290 cusecs and an outflow of 40,231 cusecs, authorities have opened 11 gates to manage water release downstream. The dam's full water level is set at 1,633 feet, with the current level at 1,624.86 feet. The Sunkesula Project in Kurnool district has also reached its full capacity, with officials releasing water to the Srisailam reservoir via 13 gates. The Sunkesula reservoir has a total capacity of 1.20 TMC and currently holds 0.68 TMC. Srisailam Dam continues to see heavy inflow, prompting operational adjustments to manage water levels. Presently, three gates are being raised by 10 feet to release water downstream. The inflow into the Srisailam reservoir is recorded at 148,696 cusecs, with an outflow slightly higher at 148,734 cusecs. The reservoir's maximum capacity is 215 TMC, with the current storage level at 203 TMC; the water level stands at 882.80 feet against a full capacity level of 885 feet. The release of water from the Srisailam project has contributed to flooding in the Nagarjunasagar project, which is now receiving an inflow of 118,167 cusecs while managing an outflow of 5,612 cusecs. Currently, the water level in the Nagarjunasagar reservoir is at 543.60 feet, significantly below the full level of 590 feet. Additionally, the Kadem project in Nirmal district is encountering severe flooding, prompting officials to open one gate for water release. The project's maximum level is 700 feet, with the current level at 693 feet, reflecting an inflow of 4,433 cusecs and an outflow of 4,346 cusecs. As the situation evolves, officials continue to monitor water levels closely to mitigate the impact of the floods in the region.

Heavy rain likely in Indore, Ujjain divisions from July 13: Weatherman
Indore: After an unusually dry start to July, the Indore and Ujjain divisions are expected to finally receive heavy rainfall starting July 13. According to the India Meteorological Department (IMD) forecast on Thursday, the next two days could bring intense showers to most parts of eastern Madhya Pradesh. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The Indore-Ujjain divisions, which have so far remained largely dry this monsoon, are expected to receive a good spell of rainfall from July 13 onwards. Since the beginning of July, both Indore and Ujjain witnessed significantly below-average rainfall. In Indore, not a single day in the past nine recorded more than 7 mm of rain, and the total accumulation so far hasn't even crossed an inch. Despite the onset of the monsoon, the lack of strong showers left the region dependent on occasional light spells that did little to replenish water levels or boost agricultural activity. Indore recorded just 1.2 mm of rainfall during the last 24 hours. In the absence of rainfall, the temperatures started to rise slightly in Indore. On Thursday, the day temperature stood at 29.5 degrees Celsius, which was a degree below normal, while the night temperature was 23.4 degrees Celsius, close to the seasonal average. The city remained partly cloudy on Thursday morning and afternoon, but no significant rain was recorded. According to senior meteorologist Dr Divya E. Surendran, three weather systems are currently active over the state: two troughs and a cyclonic circulation. A low-pressure area is also likely to develop in the coming days, contributing to the expected surge in rainfall. In view of these developments, the Meteorological Department issued an orange alert for July 13 in Indore, Ujjain, Ratlam, Dewas, Khandwa, Khargone, and Dhar, indicating the possibility of heavy to very heavy rain. A yellow alert was also issued for Jhabua, Alirajpur, Barwani, Agar Malwa, Shajapur, Neemuch, and Mandsaur. With July and August contributing nearly 50% of the seasonal rainfall, the expected showers are crucial for replenishing water reserves and supporting agriculture in the rain-starved Indore-Ujjain belt.
