Kavali–Kondapi lightning advisory valid until 2:15 am on October 22

Andhra Pradesh SDMA has issued a fresh lightning advisory for the areas identified in its official message as “nlr-kavali, prk-kondapi mandals”. The notice was distributed through NDMA SACHET after midnight on October 22, 2026.

The alert was issued at 12:17:53 am IST. It specifies an effective time of 12:15 am and an expiry of 2:15 am IST, both on October 22. This report concerns the newly issued notice, rather than yesterday’s expired alerts.

Its classifications are “Severe” for severity, “Expected” for urgency and “Possible” for certainty. These describe a potential lightning risk; the notice does not confirm a strike, injury or damage.

The official advice is to avoid trees, towers, poles, fields and open spaces during thunderstorms, take shelter in safe buildings and follow SDMA guidelines.

The affected-area wording is retained exactly as supplied. The advisory should not be extended to an entire district or the whole state. After 2:15 am IST on October 22, consult the latest official warning instead of treating this notice as current.
