Cyclone Arnab's Impact Highlights Climate Risks and Infrastructure Vulnerabilities in India
Cyclone Arnab made landfall along Andhra Pradesh and Yanam coasts on October 28 with winds up to 135 kmph, causing fatalities, property damage, and flooding. Experts link its rapid intensification to unusually warm sea surface temperatures in the Bay of Bengal and possible El Niño effects, highlighting climate change's role in intensifying storms. The cyclone also exposed vulnerabilities in India's disaster preparedness and the risks extreme weather poses to critical infrastructure, including data centres vital for the country's digital economy.
