The meteorological department has issued a warning as Cyclone Arnab intensifies over the east-central Bay of Bengal. Forecasts indicate that this cyclone will evolve into a very severe cyclonic storm by October 27. As it approaches, the cyclone is likely to make landfall along the Andhra Pradesh coast, particularly between the districts of Bapatla and Visakhapatnam.
With wind speeds expected to reach up to 140 km/h, the cyclone's trajectory suggests that it will not only affect Andhra Pradesh but also pose a risk of heavy rainfall in nearby states, including Odisha.
- Landfall expected near Bapatla — with wind speeds up to 140 km/h predicted.
- Heavy rainfall warnings for Odisha — local authorities on alert for potential flooding.
As the situation develops, residents along the coastline are urged to stay informed through official channels and heed any warnings issued by local authorities. The impact of Cyclone Arnab could be significant, requiring community resilience and preparedness.
