Above-normal southwest monsoon is predicted by IMD.
According to the IMD’s long-term southwest monsoon projection, Andhra Pradesh will have above-average rainfall from June through September. According to this projection, the mild El Niño conditions that are now dominating the equatorial Pacific area are the cause of the expected rainfall. According to climate models, the monsoon season begins with a shift to neutral circumstances, which is followed by La Niña conditions in the second part of the season.
Nandyal recorded a 43°C maximum temperature.
