Input by Vag.Dr Vineet Kumar 👇
Whatever on Earth happens add ElNino in it 🥴
This is totally wrong message that ElNino fueled this cyclone
We need to see other factors , earth doesnt revolve only around ElNino
See this attached graph, it shows avg. Maximum windspeed of postmonsoon season cyclones in bay of bengal during different ENSO phases
IMD BULLETIN
Cyclone Warning :
Date : 28-10-2026 Time of issue : 11:00:00 Validity : 6 hrs
VSCS Arnab crossed AP and Yanam coasts near Narsapur during 0200-0800 IST on 28 Oct, with winds 125-135 kmph gusting to 150 kmph.
Landfall completed by 0800 IST.
It will move NNW and weaken into CS within 6 hours and DD in the subsequent 6 hours.
Inputs from Vag.Vineet, Mitan, Shreyas
*Cyclone Arnab with windspeed 120knots hold the record of strongest bay of bengal postmonsoon season cyclone in elnino year in satellite era (1982 onwards)
*Cyclone Arnab windspeed 120knots (as per jtwc). This is now the strongest postmonsoon season cyclone in north Indian ocean since 2019
*Cyclone Arnab along with hudhud in 2014 hold the record of strongest bay of bengal postmonsoon season cyclone in elnino year in satellite era (1982 onwards)
*As per visakhapatnam radar an outer ring seems forming around inner ring, which can trigger onset of eyewall replacement cycle
Arnab..2.50 pm IST..eye dispersing...Landfall ?
