Red Weather Warnings Issued for Coastal India as Depression Moves Inland

On September 23, 2026, the India Meteorological Department issued 'red colour' warnings to Coastal Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Odisha, and Chhattisgarh. The deep depression, which was centered near Kalingapatnam, Andhra Pradesh, was moving toward Jharkhand. Ports in Odisha and Andhra Pradesh were advised to hoist cautionary signals due to dangerous weather at sea.

The movement of the depression inland brings heavy rainfall to eastern and central Indian states. The severe weather warnings and port advisories could lead to disruptions in supply chains, increased costs for maritime operations, and impacts on agricultural output across the affected regions.
