The successive cyclones have caused significant flooding in Andhra Pradesh and the Yanam region, as the ground was already saturated from Cyclone Arnab's heavy rainfall. The rapid intensification of Cyclone Murasu, supported by unusually warm coastal waters, exacerbated the situation. The back-to-back storms highlight the risk of compounding disasters, where the impact of one event is worsened by another. Meteorologists have also raised concerns about the role of climate change in intensifying such extreme weather events, which could make coastal communities increasingly vulnerable.
