Hyderabad: The Meteorological Centre issued a rain alert as weather conditions changed over the Bay of Bengal on August 17.
The centre said a low-pressure area in the Bay of Bengal was turning into a trough. It also said conditions favoured rainfall activity over Telangana and Andhra Pradesh.
Meanwhile, the weather system over the Bay of Bengal changed suddenly, according to the Meteorological Centre. As a result, officials warned of heavy rain in parts of Telangana and AP.
The rain alert Bay of Bengal system also comes as several Telangana districts continue to face rainfall shortages. Deficit rainfall remained in 15 districts across the state.
In addition, rainfall recorded during the previous 24 hours varied across several districts. Mancherial received the highest rainfall among the districts listed by officials.

According to the latest rainfall data, Mancherial recorded 1.77 centimetres during the last 24 hours. Nirmal followed with 1.66 cm, while Jagtial received 1.51 cm.
Furthermore, Mulugu recorded 1.38 cm of rainfall during the same period. Peddapalli received 1.30 cm, officials said.
The Meteorological Centre said the developing weather pattern could support rainfall over Telangana. Therefore, residents in affected areas may need to monitor further weather updates.
At the same time, the rainfall figures showed uneven distribution across the state. While some districts received measurable rain, 15 districts continued to record deficient rainfall.
The rain alert Bay of Bengal system has therefore drawn attention across Telangana and AP. Officials are monitoring the changing conditions as the system develops over the Bay.
