Thunderstorms expected, but humid conditions to persist across coastal APVisakhapatnam: Oppressive humidity made life difficult in coastal localities such as Vizag, Anakapalle, Kakinada, Tuni, Guntur, Eluru, Rajahmundry, Vijayawada, and a few other towns in Andhra Pradesh over the last four to five days, with people reporting high levels of discomfort, even though temperatures ranged between 35°C and 39°C.
Relative humidity peaked at 70% to 85% in the morning and remained at 60% by evening, spelling trouble for citizens and bringing no respite from the sweltering heat.The heat and humidity are unbearable and quite oppressive, and even in the shade, it feels like we are suffocating; the sweating doesn’t stop, and there is no relief unless you stay in an air-conditioned room, said V Ganesh, a native of Vizag city.
Many elders and children fell sick due to such weather conditions.
