Two Severe Cyclones Hit Andhra Pradesh Amid El Niño and Rising Sea Temperatures
India experienced two severe cyclones, Arnab and Murasu, striking Andhra Pradesh within five days in late 2026. While cyclone frequency in India has declined, the intensity of some storms remains high, with the Bay of Bengal as the primary cyclone region and increasing activity in the Arabian Sea. The India Meteorological Department attributes the unusual timing to El Niño conditions and rising sea temperatures. Satellite images reveal distinct structural differences between the two cyclones despite their similar origins and trajectories.
