The ongoing cold spell in the Telugu states has extended its duration due to the diversion of Tropical Cyclone Grant away from Indian shores. The cyclone, which had been causing heavy rain and strong winds in Australia, has moved away from India, according to the latest weather reports.
The shift in the tropical storm’s path means that the cold wave sweeping across Andhra Pradesh and Telangana is expected to persist for at least the next four days, as per the meteorological department. The agency areas of Andhra Pradesh, such as Alluri Sitarama Raju district, have been particularly affected by the drop in temperatures, with some regions experiencing sub-zero temperatures.
The cold wave has led to an unusual drop in temperatures across various parts of India, with the mercury dipping to as low as 3-4 degrees Celsius in certain areas. The meteorological department is closely monitoring weather conditions and will provide updates as necessary. This development comes at a time when Australia is grappling with the aftermath of Cyclone Grant, which has caused significant damage and disrupted normal life across several coastal regions.
As the cold wave persists in the Telugu states, local authorities are appealing to residents to stay warm and take necessary precautions to protect themselves from the harsh weather conditions. The cold spell is expected to have a noticeable impact on agricultural activities in the region, with farmers taking steps to ensure their crops remain protected during this extended period of cold weather.
In related news, meteorologists are keeping a close eye on other weather systems developing across the Indian Ocean and Bay of Bengal, with an aim to provide timely updates and warnings to the concerned authorities in India and its neighboring countries. The ongoing weather patterns highlight the importance of monitoring and predicting extreme weather events to ensure the safety and well-being of millions of people living in vulnerable regions.
