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.
