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.

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 ...

BKC Aggregators wins HDFC Digital Innovation Award

After winning the Agriculture Grand Challenge (Govt. of India) 2018, BKC Aggregators has won HDFC's Digital Innovation Summit which was organized at IIM Ahmedabad, Gujarat on 31st January 2019. FASAL SALAH provides timely and personalised agri- advisory for the welfare of farmers, a perfect solution for several problems being faced by farmers. Using dynamic crop models and artificial intelligence analytics, BKC has been able to generate an algorithm for calculation of yields well before the harvest. Thus it is possible now to have an accurate estimate of the crop before it is harvested by the farmers. Forecasting the yield before harvest is going to become strong tool for several problems associated to the losses and difficulties being...

Cotton, Soybean Crops Soaked by Monsoon Fury

Cotton Crop: Delayed Arrivals and Quality Concerns The 2025–26 cotton season is grappling with significant climatic disruptions across key growing regions. Extended rainfall in southern states—Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, and Karnataka—has adversely affected standing cotton crops and complicated harvest timelines. In Karnataka, districts such as Yadgir, Shahpur, and Jewargi have experienced heavy rainfall over the past 4–5 days, resulting in waterlogging and crop stress. While the full extent of damage remains under assessment, cotton arrivals expected to be delayed. In Maharashtra, the situation is particularly alarming, with relentless rainfall since May leading to the submergence of over 5,100 hectares of cotton fields across talukas such as Malegaon, Nandgaon, Surgana, and Igatpuri. The impact extends beyond cotton, with maize and onion crops also suffering extensive damage. Farmers in these regions are urgently seeking government intervention as damage assessments contin...
