The India Meteorological Department (IMD) issued a “yellow alert” for heavy rain in four Telangana districts—Jayashankar Bhupalapalle, Komaram Bheem, Mancherial, and Mulugu—on September 4. An "orange alert" was issued for Andhra Pradesh's NTR and Krishna districts, prompting the Andhra Pradesh government to declare a holiday for schools and colleges in the NTR district due to heavy rainfall. The IMD predicts heavy rain in Telangana until September 7, citing a cyclonic circulation over coastal Andhra Pradesh and Yanam. Additionally, a new low-pressure area is expected to form over the west-central and northwest Bay of Bengal around September 5.
