• A new cyclonic threat is emerging over the Bay of Bengal, with a depression likely to intensify into Cyclone Murasu, according to the India Meteorological Department (IMD).
• The system is expected to move towards the Andhra Pradesh coast and may make landfall on the morning of Tuesday, 3 November.

Impact & Risks

The potential Cyclone Murasu poses a significant risk to areas already recovering from the devastation caused by Cyclone Arnab. Heavy rainfall and strong winds could exacerbate existing damage, including further destruction of homes, uprooting of trees, and disruption of electricity supplies. The affected regions, particularly Andhra Pradesh, Rayalaseema, and Odisha, may face additional challenges in terms of flooding and infrastructure damage. The previous cyclone resulted in three fatalities and the evacuation of over 1.8 lakh people, highlighting the potential severity of such weather events.
