There might be strong winds upto 50 kmph and stormy weather in the northern parts of Vizag today evening. But the weather is expected to be dry for the rest of the week in the city.

The forecast by the Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) indicates that till Sunday, 29 August 2021, the weather in Vizag is likely to be cloudy with an occasional spell of rain. During this period, the temperatures in the city are expected to hover around 33 degrees Celsius.
