After heavy rains and lightning that struck various parts of the state, killing 16 people on Sunday, Met officials have predicted more showers over the next two days.
Weathermen said the prevailing weather conditions are unusual this time of the year.
“Normally, the temperatures are high during day time, followed by thunder showers in the evenings,” said R V Subba Rao, assistant meteorologist, Met department.
He said the western disturbance over north India coupled with an induced trough over Telangana have led to abundant moisture feed to the coastal Andhra districts leading to rainfall.
In the state capital, from a maximum of 40.5 degrees Celsius on Sunday, the temperature dropped by a degree to 39.5 degrees Celsius on Monday. The second half of the day remained overcast bringing down the temperature considerably.
Met forecast shows that parts of coastal AP and Rayalaseema are most likely to get moderate showers while some places in Telangana will get light showers. However, the rainfall is likely to decrease after 48 hours.
Chittoor, Kadapa, Khammam, Guntur and Prakasam districts recorded a rainfall ranging from 2 to 6 cm on Sunday night.
