During the next 48 hours, heavy rains may occur over Coastal Andhra.
Moderate rains are expected in Rayalaseema and Telangana.
“The sky would be partly cloudy and rain or thundershowers may occur in some of the coastal regions.
Maximum temperature would be around 32 degree celsius in the state,” an MET official said.
