Meanwhile, the north - south trough from north Bihar now runs from Jharkhand to north coastal AP at an elevation of 1.5 km above mean sea level across interior Odisha.
Over the next four days, the Met department has forecast thunderstorms with lightning in parts of north coastal AP, Yanam and Rayalaseema.

From Friday to Sunday, strong winds reaching up to speeds of 40-50 km per hour and also likely to gust at 60 kmph have been predicted to prevail over west central Bay of Bengal off north coastal AP, Yanam and south coastal AP coasts.
Except Rayalaseema, most other districts in the southern state witnessed deficit rainfall in the month of June. At several places in the state, days are continuing to be hot and humid.
Meanwhile, AP Disaster Management commissioner K. Kanna Babu issued thunder bolts warning at several places in Visakhapatnam, Vizianagaram, Srikakulam, Krishna, Guntur, Prakasam and Nellore districts.
