Rain continued to lash parts of south coastal Andhra Pradesh for a second day on Tuesday while an alert has been sounded in some districts due to heavy rainfall forecast under the impact of a low-pressure area in the Bay of Bengal.

According to the Indian Meteorological Department (IMD), a well-marked low-pressure area over the central part of the south Bay of Bengal is likely to intensify into a depression and continue to move west-northwestwards towards north Tamil Nadu, Puducherry, and adjoining south Andhra Pradesh coasts during the next two days.
