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.

While the strongest winds are expected to weaken after landfall, the risk from heavy rainfall, flooding, and waterlogging remains significant. Residents in affected regions should continue to follow official advisories and avoid unnecessary travel until conditions improve.
