IMD Issues Weather Alerts as Cyclone Arnab Brings Rain, Thunderstorms, and Cooler Temperatures Across IndiaPreviousNext

The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued weather alerts across India due to the weakening Cyclone Arnab and associated systems. Delhi-NCR experienced heavy rain, thunderstorms, and a significant temperature drop, marking its coldest October day in four years. The rain improved air quality from poor to moderate. Several states, including Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, Odisha, and Andhra Pradesh, face heavy to very heavy rainfall with hailstorm warnings. The unsettled weather is expected to continue for a few days before conditions improve early November.
