Adilabad was the hottest place with maximum temperature of 45.5 degree Celsius. In Hyderabad the maximum temperature was 40.2 degree Celsius, 3-4 notches lower compared to highest mercury level over last couple of days.According to Indian Meteorological Department (IMD), the Telugu states received the rains under the impact of upper air circulation in west central Bay of Bengal near north Andhra and south Odisha coast.According to Skymet Weather, a private weather forecast company, coastal Andhra Pradesh saw some good pre-monsoon activity on Monday. It said the rains brought down the temperatures by about a degree or two. "Heat wave conditions have abated from the region completely for now. On the other hand, humidity saw a steep rise over the area," it said.The rains are expected to continue for the next four-five days.Meanwhile, Skymet also issued an advisory for farmers in Telangana and Andhra Pradesh against sowing of crops for Kharif season for at least the next 10-15 days as monsoon onset is going to be mild and the progress is expected to be sluggish."Sowing of crops at this point of time, when the onset of monsoon is delayed and chances of good rains are less, will only push up the cost for farmers and also hamper the yield of the crop," it said.Farmers growing maize, tur and cotton in the Telugu states were advised to delay the sowing of the crops till second week of June. The reservoir levels in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana are also alarmingly low with just 5 and 10 per cent of water reserve respectively, it added.( With inputs from IANS )
