Andhra Pradesh is preparing for a possible cyclonic storm as a deep depression over the Bay of Bengal is forecast to intensify in the coming days. According to weather information reported on October 25, 2026, the system could develop into a cyclonic storm on Monday, October 26, and strengthen further into a severe cyclonic storm by Tuesday, October 27.
The weather system is projected to move towards the Andhra Pradesh coast and could cross near Yanam on Wednesday, October 28. Coastal districts may experience heavy rainfall, strong winds and rough sea conditions as the storm approaches.
Cyclone Likely to Cross Andhra Pradesh Coast Near Yanam
The deep depression over the Bay of Bengal is expected to gain strength as it moves towards the coast.
Current projections cited in the initial report suggest that the system could make landfall near Yanam on Wednesday. However, the exact location and timing may change depending on the storm's movement and intensity.
Coastal areas are likely to experience deteriorating weather conditions ahead of the expected landfall.
Wind Speeds May Reach 115–125 Kmph
The developing weather system could bring strong winds reaching speeds of 115–125 kilometres per hour near the coast.
Such winds can damage trees, electricity infrastructure and temporary structures. Coastal residents should remain alert and follow instructions issued by local authorities.
Rough sea conditions may also create dangerous situations for fishing boats and other small vessels operating in the Bay of Bengal.
Heavy Rainfall Expected Across Andhra Pradesh
Several parts of Andhra Pradesh could receive heavy rainfall over three days as the weather system approaches.
Coastal districts may face waterlogging, disruptions to transportation and possible flooding in low-lying areas if intense rainfall continues.
Residents are advised to monitor official weather forecasts, avoid unnecessary travel during severe conditions and take precautions in areas vulnerable to flooding.
Warning Signals Issued at Andhra Pradesh Ports
Number 1 warning signals have reportedly been issued at several ports, including Krishnapatnam, as authorities monitor the developing system.
Port warnings are intended to alert maritime operators about potentially dangerous weather conditions.
Fishermen and coastal communities should follow advisories from the India Meteorological Department, port authorities and local disaster management officials.
With the weather system expected to strengthen, authorities and residents across coastal Andhra Pradesh are closely monitoring its movement.
The cyclone's final track, intensity and landfall location will become clearer through subsequent official weather bulletins. People living in vulnerable coastal areas should stay informed and follow safety instructions issued by the authorities.
