The recent Cyclone Arnab crossed the Andhra Pradesh and Yanam coasts on October 28, killing at least five people and causing extensive damage to buildings and agriculture.
The weather system originated as a low-pressure area over the South Andaman Sea and adjoining North Andaman Sea and Andaman and Nicobar Islands, has since intensified into a well-marked low-pressure area over the southeast Bay of Bengal and adjoining regions, the IMD said, warning that system was very likely to concentrate into a depression over the same region within the next six hours.
