Cyclone Arnab, over the west-central Bay of Bengal, intensified into a very severe cyclone on 27 October 2026, the Bangladesh Meteorological Department said. It was 990 km south-west of Chittagong port and 865 km south of Mongla and Payra ports at 3 a.m. Maximum sustained winds within 64 km of the centre were 118 km/h, gusting to 150 km/h. The department ordered Chittagong, Cox's Bazar, Mongla and Payra ports to hoist local danger signal No. 3 and told trawlers in the north Bay to stay near the coast. It said the cyclone was moving north-west and could cross the Andhra Pradesh coast of India on 28 October. Meteorologist Md. Abdul Hamid Mia said Bangladesh would see little impact, with light rain on coastal areas. Indian forecasts said landfall could come between Bapatla and Visakhapatnam with gusts up to 140 km/h. Odisha closed schools in six districts and banned sea fishing. The name Arnab was proposed by Bangladesh.

Where accounts differ. Channel i and Boishakhi Television say rain will be widespread and the cyclone will cross Andhra Pradesh by Wednesday evening or noon, while Jugantor's meteorologist says Bangladesh will see little impact; Channel i alone reports a 80 percent rainfall deficit for the month.
