The cyclone poses significant risks to coastal areas of Andhra Pradesh and Odisha, with potential for strong winds, heavy rainfall, and flooding. Vulnerable populations in low-lying areas are at the highest risk, prompting large-scale evacuations. In Nepal, authorities have warned of possible torrential downpours, snowstorms, and avalanches in the Himalayan region from Thursday night through Saturday, which could impact tourists and local communities. The region is still recovering from a deadly flash flood in August, which claimed approximately 1,500 lives.
