The Andhra Pradesh State Disaster Management Authority has issued a weather advisory predicting light to moderate rains and thunderstorms in Rayalaseema, even as sweltering heat wave conditions are set to linger in several regions over the next two days.

According to Prakhar Jain, Managing Director of the Authority, residents should remain vigilant for sudden weather changes and take precautions such as avoiding open fields during storms.

Heat wave conditions on Monday are anticipated in districts such as Vizianagaram, Parvathipuram Manyam, and Polavaram, with temperatures soaring above 40 degrees Celsius at 78 locations across the state on Sunday.
