Talking about the Andhra Pradesh weather condition on a whole, the weatherman rules out the possibility of Cyclone Javad. He informs that two low-pressure weather systems are making landfall at the same time. The low-pressure system from the Odisha coast will cause heavy rainfall in coastal Andhra, at areas like Srikakulam, Vizianagaram and Vizag. Another low-pressure area has formed at the Arabian Sea near Karnataka, which will come to Rayalaseema, causing heavy rainfall in East and West Godavari and Krishna districts.
