The low pressure is likely to cause rainfall activity in central and south India to pick up pace from next week

The India Meteorological Department (IMD) said that a low-pressure area is likely to form over East-Central Bay of Bengal in the next 48 hours. Heavy rainfall is expected in Odisha, north Andhra Pradesh and Telangana from June 9 to 11 owing to the low-pressure.

The maximum temperature is expected to remain below the 40 degrees Celsius-mark till June 10, Kuldeep Srivastava, the head of the regional forecasting center of IMD said.
