Andhra Pradesh | The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has forecast that a developing weather system over the Bay of Bengal is likely to strengthen into a cyclonic storm and make landfall near Kakinada, Andhra Pradesh, by the night of October 28, 2025. Wind speeds are expected to reach 90–100 kmph, with gusts up to 110 kmph, according to the latest IMD update.
On Saturday (October 25), the IMD reported that the depression over the southeast Bay of Bengal had moved westward and is likely to intensify first into a deep depression by Sunday (October 26) and later into a cyclonic storm by Monday morning (October 27), over the southwest and adjoining west-central Bay of Bengal.
To assess preparedness, Cabinet Secretary T. V. Somanathan convened a meeting of the National Crisis Management Committee (NCMC). Senior officials, including the Chief Secretaries of Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, and Puducherry, and the Additional Chief Secretary of Odisha, briefed the committee on precautionary actions and evacuation measures being taken in coastal regions expected to be affected by the cyclone.
Authorities have urged residents in low-lying and coastal areas to remain alert and follow official advisories as the system continues to intensify.
