    Even after weakening following landfall on the Andhra Pradesh coast, Cyclone Arnab continues to impact large parts of eastern and central India, bringing heavy rainfall, gusty winds and localised flooding across multiple states.

    Officials confirmed that at least three people lost their lives during the cyclone’s passage, while widespread damage to infrastructure, power supply disruptions and transportation challenges were reported from several affected districts.

    The cyclone made landfall with powerful winds and intense rainfall, uprooting trees, damaging houses and inundating low-lying areas. Emergency response teams remain engaged in restoration work as authorities assess the extent of the damage.

    Although the system has weakened significantly after moving inland, its effects continue to be felt across Andhra Pradesh, Odisha and Chhattisgarh. Rain-bearing clouds associated with the cyclone have triggered weather conditions ranging from light showers to heavy downpours, accompanied by strong winds in several districts.

    In Chhattisgarh, the cyclone’s remnants have brought widespread rainfall, overcast skies and gusty winds. Authorities are monitoring vulnerable areas, river catchments and drainage systems as precautionary measures continue across the state.

    Thousands of residents in vulnerable coastal regions were shifted to safer locations before landfall, helping reduce the overall human impact of the storm. Disaster management agencies, local administrations and emergency services remain on alert as weather conditions continue to evolve.

    While the rainfall has improved soil moisture levels and provided relief to some agricultural regions, concerns remain over waterlogging, transportation disruptions and damage to public infrastructure in areas receiving prolonged rain.

    Meteorologists expect the system to weaken further over the coming days, though unsettled weather conditions may persist across parts of eastern and central India.

    Cyclone Arnab’s strongest phase may be over, but its impact continues to be felt across eastern and central India. With casualties reported, infrastructure damaged and rain still affecting multiple states, the focus has now shifted to relief operations, restoration efforts and safeguarding communities from further weather-related disruptions.

    Cyclone Arnab made landfall along the Andhra Pradesh coast on Wednesday, bringing intense rainfall, powerful winds, and widespread disruption in several coastal districts. The cyclonic storm crossed the coast near the Kakinada-Narsapur region and moved inland slowly, prolonging the impact of adverse weather conditions.

    According to weather authorities, the cyclone packed wind speeds of up to 135 km/h, with stronger gusts reported in some locations. Heavy rainfall led to waterlogging in low-lying areas, uprooting of trees, damage to power infrastructure, and interruptions in road, rail, and air services.

    Authorities have maintained high-alert status across affected districts, with emergency response teams deployed to deal with flooding, power outages, and other cyclone-related emergencies. Residents in vulnerable areas were advised to remain cautious as heavy rain continues in the cyclone’s wake.

    Meteorologists expect Cyclone Arnab to gradually weaken as it moves further inland. However, its remnants are likely to bring significant rainfall to parts of Andhra Pradesh, Odisha, and Chhattisgarh over the next couple of days.

    Why Do Cyclones Form? | Explained

    Cyclones develop over warm ocean waters when moist air rises rapidly from the sea surface. As the air rises, a low-pressure area forms below it. Surrounding air rushes in to fill this space and begins rotating due to the Earth’s rotation. If sea temperatures remain warm and atmospheric conditions remain favourable, the system can intensify into a severe cyclonic storm.

    The Bay of Bengal is one of the most cyclone-prone regions in the world because of its warm waters and favourable weather patterns, particularly during the pre-monsoon and post-monsoon seasons.

    365 Takeaway

    Cyclone Arnab is expected to strike the Andhra Pradesh coast on Wednesday morning, with authorities racing to complete evacuations and emergency preparations. The storm’s impact will depend on its final track and intensity at the time of landfall.
