What happened during Cyclone Arnab?

Cyclone Arnab made landfall on the Andhra Pradesh coast on 28 October 2026, bringing strong winds, heavy rain and flooding risk to coastal districts. Authorities evacuated people from low-lying areas in advance, which helped limit loss of life.

After landfall, the system weakened into a low-pressure area, but the India Meteorological Department warned of heavy rainfall, thunderstorms and possible flooding across several states as its remnants moved inland.
