Heavy Rains to lash AP as Low Pressure Closes In


 Andhra Pradesh

With the low-pressure area forming over the East Central and adjoining North Bay of Bengal on August 29. This system is expected to move west-northwest towards the southern coasts of Odisha and northern Andhra Pradesh over the next two days, bringing widespread rainfall and potentially severe weather conditions.

Currently, a cyclonic circulation is present over the East Central Bay of Bengal, extending up to 5.8 kilometres above mean sea level and tilting southward. This atmospheric disturbance is a precursor to the impending low-pressure system, which could significantly alter weather patterns in the region.

Heavy rainfall warning for the next five days across North Coastal Andhra Pradesh (NCAP), Yanam, and South Coastal Andhra Pradesh (SCAP). Thunderstorms with lightning are expected in isolated areas of NCAP and Yanam, along with strong surface winds reaching speeds of 30-40 km/h.

From August 29 to September 2, heavy rainfall is predicted in isolated locations across NCAP and Yanam, with intensifying rain expected on August 30 and 31. Heavy to very heavy rainfall is likely in several districts of NCAP, while isolated heavy rains are anticipated in SCAP. By September 1, heavy rains are expected to persist in one or two districts of NCAP.

Telangana

Thunderstorms accompanied by lightning and gusty winds (30-40 kmph) likely to occur at isolated places in the district of Bhadradri Kothagudem. For August 29, thunderstorms with lightning and gusty winds are expected at isolated places in Bhadradri Kothagudem district.

On August 30, thunderstorms with lightning and gusty winds with heavy rain expected at isolated places in Bhadradri Kothagudem .On August 31, heavy to very heavy rain is likely at isolated places. Additionally, heavy rain is likely at isolated places in Nalgonda, Suryapet, Jangaon, Yadadri, Hyderabad, Medchal-Malkajgiri, Medak, and Kamareddy districts.

Heavy to very heavy rain is also predicted at isolated places in Adilabad, Komaram Bheem, Mancherial, Nirmal, Nizamabad, and Jagityala districts.

Maize as Fuel of Future

  Ethanol as Fuel Government has set an ambitious target of 20% ethanol blending in petrol by 2025. This is a significant move to cut down the crude import which contribute to 25% of total import in terms of value in India. As of June this year, the national average for ethanol blending was 13%, an increase from previous year of 12.1% in 2022-23 and 10% in 2021-22. The blending ratios is reaching to nearly 16% by June 2024. What is important to understand that ethanol production in India initially relied predominantly molasses, a by-product of sugar production. The policy shift to include grains as supplementary feedstocks, such as maize and damaged rice, further diversifying the sources of ethanol has very prefound effect on raw material utilization for ethanol production. With government incentivise by setting a higher ex-distillery price of Rs 71.86 per liter for ethanol produced from maize, has led to the establishment of multi-feedstock distilleries, which operate on a m...

Technology - Advising Farmers and Crop Yield Assesment

Food security in the light of climate change is a global imperative. In developing nations, the problem is exacerbated by variable weather, lack of reliable extension services to optimize yield and fair market access. In India, most farmers do not have access to weather advisory forecasts that are hyper local to their field and timely in nature. As all farming activities are heavily dependent on weather, decisions on application of fertilizers and pesticide, irrigation, and even plucking of fruits & vegetables and harvesting cannot be taken efficiently. In addition, significant crop losses, that are entirely preventable, accrue through adverse weather events. Crop advisory services, where available, are generic and not pegged to a farmer's seed variety, date of sowing, and growing conditions and hence do not dispense timely, actionable advice, directly relevant to a farmer. Likewise, market trends pertinent to their particular crop and location ...

India Paddy 2024: Weather Risk Susceptible

  The current water deficit situation affecting paddy crops in West Bengal, Bihar, Jharkhand, UP, and Punjab, and its potential impact on rice yield. Despite an increase in sowing percentage compared to the previous year, deficient rainfall poses a serious threat to paddy production. The critical stages of rice growth, particularly the reproductive stage, are highly sensitive to water stress, which could result in significant yield losses if conditions do not improve.   Current Situation Government data indicates that sowing of paddy crops has increased in the current year compared to 2023. Department of agriculture and farmers welfare     However, the Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) reports a continuing deficiency in rainfall across the affected states. This water deficit could adversely impact rice yields due to the crop's sensitivity to moisture stress at various growth stages. Rainfall Deviation from Long Term Average 01 June to 04 August 2024 Curren...
