Cyclone Arnab is tracking toward India’s eastern coastline, leading to significant weather warnings across the region. According to the India Meteorological Department (IMD), the storm is expected to make landfall between the cities of Bapatla and Visakhapatnam on Wednesday. A red alert has been issued for Andhra Pradesh in anticipation of the severe weather conditions.

Reports regarding the current status of the storm vary slightly between sources. Al Jazeera reports that the cyclone is already making landfall and that heavy rains and coastal flooding are currently impacting the region. Conversely, NDTV reports that the cyclone is still nearing the coast and that the primary landfall event is projected to occur on Wednesday. Both outlets agree that the storm poses a significant threat to the coastal areas, though they differ on the immediate timing of the landfall process. Residents in the affected areas are bracing for the impact of the storm as authorities monitor its progression.
