The Andhra Pradesh State Disaster Management Authority (APSDMA) has confirmed that moderate to heavy rains are expected across multiple districts, with coastal and Rayalaseema regions bracing for thunderstorms alongside gusty winds.

In Telangana , residents of the state capital Hyderabad can expect a partly cloudy sky with temperatures hovering around 30–32°C throughout the day. Light to moderate showers are likely by evening or night, possibly accompanied by thunderstorms, lightning, and gusty winds , so citizens are urged to stay cautious. The surrounding districts of Rangareddy and Medchal-Malkajgiri are expected to mirror similar conditions.

Daytime temperatures across Telangana are expected to drop by 2–3°C owing to cloud cover and active rainfall.

Coastal districts including Visakhapatnam, Kakinada, Konaseema, East Godavari, West Godavari, Eluru, Krishna, NTR district, Srikakulam, Vizianagaram, and Anakapalli are all expected to witness moderate to heavy rainfall with thunderstorm activity.
