Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Both, day temperatures and night temperatures are likely to go up from Tuesday (July 29). The conditions are not favorable for good rains for the next one week. Parts of coastal Andhra Pradesh and Rayalaseema may experience strong winds with speed of 40-50 kmph for the next three days, said S Karunasagar, scientist at IMD-Amaravati. The weathermen said parts of the north coastal Andhra Pradesh (NCAP), south coastal Andhra Pradesh (SCAP) and Rayalaseema experienced moderate to heavy rainfall in the past one week (from July 18 to 25) due to low-pressure area over the Bay of Bengal. With the Bay of Bengal not indicating any possible signs of significant low pressure or depression, CAP and Rayalaseema regions in the state are expected to witness erratic rainfall over the coming seven to ten days. Despite the early onset of the southwest monsoon over Andhra Pradesh (nine days ahead of its usual June 4 onset), many parts of the state recorded deficit rainfall. Against the normal rainfall of 212.6 mm, the state received 169.4 mm rainfall from June 1 to July 28, which translates to a 20 per cent deficit.
