According to the IMD, light rains and thundershowers accompanied by gusty winds reaching speeds of 40–50 kmph are expected at isolated places across the state.
The weather activity is being attributed to an upper air cyclonic circulation located over central coastal Andhra Pradesh and adjoining areas at around 0.9 km above mean sea level, Deccan Herald reported.
