Cyclone Arnab is expected to make landfall along the Andhra Pradesh and Yanam coasts between 2 am and 4 am on Wednesday, October 28, according to the Meteorological Department. The very severe cyclonic storm is forecast to cross the coast between Bapatla and Visakhapatnam, close to south of Yanam. It is likely to bring sustained winds of 125–135 kmph, with gusts reaching 150 kmph. The storm was moving west-northwest over the west-central Bay of Bengal at 18 kmph. The department said its outer spiral band had already reached land, while the cyclone’s faster movement advanced the expected landfall time. (PC: NDTV)
