Bangladesh's Meteorological Department said on Monday, 26 October, that the deep depression over the Bay of Bengal had intensified into a cyclone named Arnab, a name proposed by Bangladesh. At 6 a.m. it was about 820 km south-west of Chattogram port, 745 km south-west of Cox's Bazar, 785 km south of Mongla and 745 km south of Payra. Winds within 54 km of the centre reached a sustained 62 km/h, gusting to 88 km/h, and seas near the centre were very rough. The department forecast it could become a severe cyclone by midnight and an extremely severe cyclone, crossing India's Andhra Pradesh coast on 28 October. Signal 1 at Chattogram, Cox's Bazar, Mongla and Payra was raised to signal 2, and fishing boats and trawlers in the north Bay of Bengal were told to stay near the coast until further notice.
