The Indian Meteorological Department released its latest bulletin, outlining state‑wise forecasts and alerts for Cyclone Arnab, which is expected to impact the eastern coastal belt of India.
The Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued a fresh weather bulletin focusing on Cyclone Arnab, detailing alerts and forecasts for each Indian state. The cyclone, currently tracking over the Bay of Bengal, is projected to move towards the eastern seaboard, prompting the agency to highlight the regions most at risk.
IMD’s state‑wise forecast points to the eastern coastal belt as the area likely to experience the strongest effects, including heavy rainfall and gusty winds. While the exact intensity may vary, the department cautions that the cyclone could bring significant disruptions to daily life in the affected zones.
Authorities have been advised to activate emergency protocols, ensure that vulnerable communities are informed, and prepare for possible flooding and storm‑related hazards. Residents in the identified high‑risk zones are urged to stay updated with official alerts and follow safety guidelines issued by local administrations.
The IMD will continue to monitor Cyclone Arnab closely and update the public as the system evolves, aiming to minimise impact through timely warnings and coordinated response measures.
