IN · Published Oct 27, 2026
• Cyclone Arnab is intensifying over the Bay of Bengal and is expected to make landfall along the Andhra Pradesh coast.
• The system is forecast to bring strong winds with speeds reaching 115-125 kmph, and gusts potentially touching 140 kmph.

Impact & Risks

The cyclone poses a significant risk to coastal areas of Andhra Pradesh due to high wind speeds and potential heavy rainfall. In West Bengal, the indirect impact may lead to localised flooding in low-lying areas, particularly in South 24 Parganas, East Midnapore, West Midnapore, and Jhargram. Fishermen have been advised to avoid venturing into the sea from Tuesday to Thursday. North Bengal districts such as Darjeeling and Jalpaiguri may face heavy rainfall in isolated areas, which could disrupt daily activities and increase the risk of landslides in hilly regions.
