Executive Briefing
According to reporting by NASA Space & Missions, The first named storm of the North Indian Ocean’s cyclone season made landfall along the coast of Andhra Pradesh.
Detailed Factual Report
The first named storm of the North Indian Ocean’s cyclone season made landfall along the coast of Andhra Pradesh.
The first named storm of the 2026 North Indian Ocean cyclone season—Arnab (pronounced Or-nab)—emerged in the Bay of Bengal on October 25, a rather late start for a basin that typically produces named cyclones in April or May.
When the VIIRS (Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite) on NOAA-20 captured this nighttime image at 20:12 Universal Time on October 26 (1:42 a.m. India Standard Time on October 27), the storm had sustained winds of about 140 kilometers (85 miles) per hour, according to the India Meteorological Department (IMD).
When Arnab made landfall on the Andhra Pradesh and Yanam coast early on October 28, sustained winds were 130 kilometers per hour. IMD categorizes a storm that strength as a "very severe cyclonic storm ," which is similar to a Category 1 storm on the Saffir-Simpson hurricane wind scale . It made landfall between Bapatla and Visakhapatnam, a heavily settled area home to large cities, farmland, and fishing communities.
