Heavy rains under the impact of low pressure area and a vigorous northeast monsoon hit coastal Andhra, Rayalaseema and Telangana regions, damaging houses and crops over lakhs of acres and throwing normal life out of gear.

The swollen rivulets cut of roads link to hundreds of villages in coastal Andhra and parts of Telangana. Road and rail transport was affected due to flooding of roads and railway tracks, especially in Srikakulam district of north coastal Andhra.
