Weather Man Balaji's alert: These districts are guaranteed to get rain
While the heat is intense, unseasonal rains are also worrying farmers. According to Weather Man Balaji's report, Vikarabad, Narayanpet, and Mahbubnagar districts have a chance of rain. The weather could also change suddenly in Bhadradri Kothagudem and Khammam districts. Although the rain brings temporary relief, the humidity that follows makes people feel very uncomfortable.
The situation in Andhra Pradesh is even stranger. A low-pressure area has formed in the southwest Bay of Bengal, near the Sri Lanka coast, and it might get stronger. Disaster Management authority's MP Prakhar Jain said this could bring thunderstorms to areas like Srikakulam, Vizianagaram, Visakha, Godavari districts, Krishna, Guntur, and Chittoor. But strangely, while some places in a district get rain, areas like the Polavaram project area and some mandals in Alluri district are experiencing heatwaves.

Farmers' worries... and advice for the general public
This weird weather is causing huge losses for farmers. Paddy left to dry in the open is getting soaked by the unseasonal rain. Strong winds are causing mangoes to fall from trees, leading to more losses. Officials have issued some advice: don't go out between 12 PM and 4 PM unless it's an emergency. During rain, stay away from trees and electric poles as there's a risk of lightning. Doctors suggest drinking plenty of water, orange juice, and coconut water to stay hydrated.
