Nandyal was the hottest in Rayalaseema region on Thursday with 42°C, followed by Kurnool (41.6°C), YSR Kadapa (41.6°C), Anantapur (41.1°C), Nandigama (41.1°C) Tirupati (41°C), Nellore (40.6°C), and Amaravati (40.2°C).
Despite a maximum temperature of 36.2°C, high humidity — ranging from 68% to 75% in Vizag city, caused discomfort for Vizagites on Thursday.
The weathermen explained, as the temperature increased and land heats up in coastal regions, it draws moist air from the sea, leading to high relative humidity, thus increasing the discomfort level.
IMD said humid and uncomfortable weather with gradual rise by 2 to3 degrees in maximum temperature were likely over coastal AP and Rayalaseema regions on Friday and Saturday. Thunderstorms accompanied with lightning are likely at isolated places over north coastal AP from Friday to Monday.
