Alluri Sitharama Raju district in Andhra Pradesh receives 107.5 mm rain as state faces deficit

Image for Alluri Sitharama Raju district in Andhra Pradesh receives 107.5 mm rain as state faces deficit

One weather station in Andhra Pradesh just got drenched.

107.5 mm in a single day.

Meanwhile, the rest of the state is gasping for rain. ☔

Welcome to monsoon 2026 — where the clouds are picking favourites.

🌧ī¸ The lone wet spot

The lucky station sits in Alluri Sitharama Raju (ASR) district — tribal hill country in north Andhra.

Everywhere else? Just polite drizzle.

Here's how Saturday's leaderboard looked:

  • đŸĨ‡ ASR station — 107.5 mm (very heavy)
  • 🌧ī¸ Thondangi, Kakinada — 49.25 mm
  • đŸŒĻī¸ Kakarapadu, ASR — 46 mm
  • ☁ī¸ Commonpoint, Visakhapatnam — 45.5 mm
  • 💧 Nakkapalli, Anakapalli — 40.35 mm

Every other station? Below 40 mm.

📉 The bigger, drier picture

Andhra Pradesh is sitting on a 27.5% rainfall deficit.

And it's not alone.

The southwest monsoon has been sputtering across India this June — at one point the country was staring at a deficit north of 40% as the system stalled over southern Maharashtra.

Farmers waiting on kharif sowing. Reservoirs watching the sky. Everyone refreshing IMD updates.

Every district in north Andhra — except Anakapalli — is running dry.

⚡ What the sky is cooking next

IMD-Amaravati says hold tight. There's weather brewing.

👉 An upper air cyclonic circulation over north Telangana.

👉 A trough stretching from coastal AP into Madhya Maharashtra.

👉 Another circulation parked over the west-central Bay of Bengal at 5.8 km altitude.

Translation in plain English:

The atmosphere is loaded. It just needs to fire.

đŸŽ¯ The forecast everyone's watching

  • 🌩ī¸ Isolated heavy rain across coastal AP on Sunday
  • 💨 Thunderstorms and gusty winds till June 30
  • 🌊 A fresh wet spell expected for north AP from July 1 for three days
  • đŸŒĻī¸ Light showers likely in Srikakulam, NTR, Anantapur, Sri Sathya Sai, Kadapa, Annamayya, Chittoor and Tirupati

🧠 The takeaway

One station getting 107 mm while a whole state sits in deficit isn't a contradiction.

It's the new normal.

The monsoon isn't failing — it's getting lumpier. More extreme. More localised. More unfair.

A few villages get a flood. A whole district gets dust.

The next four days will decide whether Andhra catches up — or stays thirsty heading into July.

The clouds are circling.

Farmers are waiting.

And the sky owes this state a serious downpour.

That's all for now!
