Meteorologists say a new cyclonic system is likely to move towards the Andhra Pradesh coastline within days of Cyclone Arnab's passage.
The Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued an advisory indicating that a fresh cyclonic disturbance is forming over the Bay of Bengal and could approach the Andhra Pradesh coast within the next few days. This development follows closely on the heels of Cyclone Arnab, which recently traversed the region, prompting heightened vigilance among authorities.
IMD officials warned that the system may intensify into a cyclonic storm, bringing strong winds, heavy rainfall and potential storm surges along vulnerable coastal districts. Emergency response teams in Andhra Pradesh have been placed on standby, and local administrations are reviewing evacuation plans for low‑lying areas.
Residents are advised to stay informed through official bulletins, secure property, and heed any instructions from disaster management agencies. The department will continue to monitor the system's trajectory and issue updates as more data becomes available.
The forecast underscores the challenges of consecutive weather events for the state, which has already been coping with the aftermath of Cyclone Arnab's impacts on agriculture and infrastructure.
