The Andhra Pradesh cyclone forecast issued on October 25, 2026, called for a Bay of Bengal system to intensify into a very severe cyclonic storm and cross the Andhra Pradesh and Yanam coasts by Tuesday night or Wednesday morning.

Key Takeaways

  • The projected crossing is between Bapatla and Visakhapatnam, with gusts up to 140 km/h.
  • Heavy rain is forecast across several southern Indian regions, while sea conditions could become dangerous for fishing and sailing.

Andhra Pradesh cyclone track and winds

The India Meteorological Department forecast maximum sustained winds of 115–125 km/h, gusting to 140 km/h, at the coastal crossing expected around October 27–28. The system was a deep depression on Sunday morning and was expected to strengthen as it moved across the Bay of Bengal.

At that point, the depression was approximately 870 km east-southeast of Visakhapatnam and 1,130 km east of Bapatla. Its eventual track and rate of intensification remained important uncertainties.
