A massive threat is looming over Andhra Pradesh as powerful Cyclone Montha is rapidly moving toward the coast. Weather officials warn that the system is highly intense and is likely to become the strongest cyclone of the year.
According to current projections, Montha is expected to cross the Andhra Pradesh coastline either around midnight on October 28 or during the early hours of October 29. The period from October 26 to 29 has been declared extremely critical.
Meteorologists indicate that the cyclone’s impact will be widespread, extending from Visakhapatnam to Tirupati, triggering severe weather conditions across multiple districts. Telangana, including Hyderabad, is also likely to witness heavy to very heavy rainfall during this period.
Wind speeds are expected to range between 70 to 100 km/h, particularly in coastal belts, raising serious concerns about property damage and disruptions in daily life.
With the situation intensifying, a red alert has been issued for Andhra Pradesh, particularly across low-lying and coastal districts. The authorities have advised strict precautions.
