Briefings
NASA Earth Observatory reports that named storm Arnab emerged in the Bay of Bengal on October 25, 2026, as the first of the 2026 North Indian Ocean cyclone season. The storm reached sustained winds of 140 km/h (85 mph) on October 26 and made landfall on the Andhra Pradesh coast on October 28, where winds were 130 km/h. Authorities evacuated tens of thousands of people from vulnerable coastal areas. The event occurred during an El Niño climate pattern, which is associated with reduced tropical cyclone activity in the Bay of Bengal. The image was captured by NOAA-20's VIIRS sensor at 20:12 UTC on October 26.
