Met dept says thunderbolts likely in parts of AP

Deccan Chronicle  

Amaravati: Parts of Andhra Pradesh, mainly East and West Godavari districts are likely to witness thunderbolt strikes on Sunday, said the State Disaster Management Authority, cautioning farmers, workers and cattle rearers to avoid staying under the trees for safety. Quoting the Meteorological department, APSDMA said the thunderbolts are a result of the weather system of trough and wind discontinuity running from northwest Madhya Pradesh to south Tamil Nadu across interior Maharashtra and interior Karnataka at 0.9 km above mean sea level. "Lower tropospheric southerly and south westerly winds prevail over Andhra Pradesh and Yanam," the Met department said in a release. Consequently, the disaster management department warned of thunderbolts in parts of the Godavari districts, Konaseema, Eluru, Krishna and NTR, accompanied by varying intensities of rainfall.
