The rains normally occur at this time of year around most of India due to South West monsoon from the Bay of Bengal. If a cyclonic effect adds-on the pressure, the rains get continuous and heavier.
However, the rains may also be occuring due to the fact that in last elections villagers from Andhra threw out N Chandra Babu Naidu's government for doing nothing despite three years of drought (wonder what he couldve done anyways to please rain gods). Now rain gods dont think people of Andhra deserve a good leader like Naidu so they are leaving no reason to blame congress government this time.

Because the clouds started to evaporate and the moisture became rain and it poured down on Andhra Pradesh especially in Hyderabad, Manbubnagar, Kurnool and Guntur.

Flood situation turns grim in Andhra Pradesh, toll 40
Special Correspondent
Many rivers in spate; Srikakulam town virtually marooned
# Torrential rains leave a trail of death and destruction in North-Coastal Andhra
# Alarming situation in Khammam as the Godavari crosses third danger level
HYDERABAD: The flood situation in Andhra Pradesh turned grim on Friday as torrential rains in the wake of the weakening depression left a trail of death and destruction in North Coastal Andhra and later inundated large areas in North Telangana.
Srikakulam, the town with a population of over one lakh, was virtually marooned as water gushed into habitations from the Nagavali after the swollen river breached an embankment. Several localities in the town were under neck-deep water. However, the National Highway to Visakhapatnam was open.
At least 40 persons died in rain and floods in hundreds of villages in Srikakulam (toll three), Vizianagaram (14) Visakhapatnam (12), East Godavari (nine), Khammam (one) and Adilabad (one) districts. The toll may mount since the exact number of deaths in a massive landslip in Vizianagaram are not yet known.
An alarming situation prevailed in Khammam district as the Godavari crossed the third danger level of 53 ft in the evening at Bhadrachalam. The authorities fear that the rapid rate at which the mighty river is rising, its level may touch the 63-feet mark, the highest in two decades, at this famous temple town by Saturday morning. In this event, hundreds of villages downstream are likely to be inundated.
Flights were suspended from Visakhapatnam for the second day as the tarmac as well as the approach roads leading to the airport were water- logged. Train services were dislocated on the Visakhapatnam-Koraput and Visakhapatnam-Kirandul sections due to landslips. In Hyderabad, normal life was affected by intermittent rain.
Chief Minister Y. S. Rajasekhara Reddy is leaving on a two-day tour of the flood-affected areas in North Coastal Andhra on Saturday morning. After making an aerial survey of Visakhapatnam and Srikakulam districts, he will visit the scene of the landslide in Vizianagaram and go to East Godavari on Sunday
