What happened
Cyclone Arnab caused heavy rainfall and strong winds across Eastern India. In Odisha, heavy rainfall led to landslides and floods in Kandhamal district, resulting in three deaths and requiring relief operations. Meanwhile, in Chhattisgarh, the cyclone damaged houses and flattened standing paddy fields, raising concerns about harvesting delays. West Bengal also faced heavy rainfall, and rail services were disrupted on the Howrah–Chennai route due to flooding in Odisha's Ganjam district.
Why it matters
The weather system is causing immediate costs for relief and restoration efforts in Odisha. In Chhattisgarh, the damage to standing paddy fields could affect grain quality and agricultural revenue. Additionally, the disruption of major rail routes impacts logistics and transport across the region.
A weather system is impacting shared coastlines across West Bengal, Bangladesh, Andhra Pradesh, and Odisha.
