Farmers brace for cyclone after rain relief in Chittoor, Annamayya
Farmers in Andhra Pradesh’s Chittoor and Annamayya districts are preparing for an approaching cyclone after recent rains eased drought conditions but did not fully restore soil moisture. Meteorologists say a Bay of Bengal depression will intensify into a cyclonic storm by Oct 26, with the most severe effects expected around Oct 27, according to local officials in the region.
