Meanwhile, in the Bay of Bengal, wind instability has significantly increased, and low pressure is expected in the next 24 hours. In districts like NTR, Eluru, Krishna, Guntur, Ubhaya Godavari, ASR, Prakasam, Bapatla, Nellore, Tirupati, Annamayya, and certain portions of Kadapa, Nandyal, a modest trough line across coastal Andhra Pradesh would undoubtedly provide afternoon to evening showers today.
