Meanwhile, a cyclone threat looms over the region and several parts of Andhra Pradesh, including Visakhapatnam, are likely to experience rain under its influence for the next few days. According to the Andhra Pradesh State Disaster Management Authority (APSDMA), a depression that formed in the Bay of Bengal is likely to turn into a cyclone on Thursday. Under the influence of it, areas like Parvatipuram Manyam, ASR district, Anakapalle, Visakhapatnam, Kakinada, Krishna, Bapatla, Prakasam, Guntur and Nellore are likely to experience rain accompanied by thunders in the next three days beginning from Thursday.
