Cyclone brings heavy rainfall to Prakasam district in Andhra Pradesh

A cyclonic system made landfall near Kothapatnam beach along the Andhra Pradesh coastline, unleashing significant rainfall across the Prakasam district region. According to data from the Automatic Weather Station network, the weather event triggered heavy precipitation across multiple administrative divisions.

Naguluppalapadu emerged as the worst-affected area, recording the district's highest rainfall measurement at 198 mm. The intense spell brought substantial moisture to the coastal and interior regions of Prakasam district, with five mandals registering rainfall exceeding 100 mm each.

The cyclone's landfall near Kothapatnam, situated on the Bay of Bengal shoreline, marked the centre of maximum impact for the weather system. Meteorological stations across the district documented the precipitation patterns, providing real-time data on the rainfall distribution.

District authorities continued monitoring the situation as the weather system moved inland. The heavy rainfall brought both relief to drought-affected areas and potential flooding concerns in low-lying regions, necessitating coordinated response measures across affected mandals.
