The depression over the Bay of Bengal intensified into a deep depression on Monday and it is likely to cross the north Andhra Pradesh coast between Narsapur and Vishakhapatnam early Tuesday, the India Meteorological Department said.


Under its influence, very heavy rainfall is expected over Telangana, heavy to very heavy falls at isolated places are likely over Karnataka, Rayalaseema, south Konkan and Goa, central Maharashtra and Marathawada on Tuesday, the Cyclone Warning Division of the IMD said.


Heavy rainfall at isolated places is also likely over north coastal Andhra Pradesh, south Odisha, and Vidarbha, it said.


"Yesterday's depression over west-central Bay of Bengal moved west-northwestwards, intensified into a deep depression. It is very likely to move west-northwestwards and cross north Andhra Pradesh coast between Narsapur and Vishakhapatnam, close to Kakinada during the early morning of October 13 as a deep depression with maximum sustained wind speed of 55-65 kmph gusting to 75 kmph," it added.
