On October 29, 2025, Cyclone Montha made landfall along India's eastern coast, bringing heavy rains and strong winds that affected about 4 million people in Andhra Pradesh. The Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) reported the cyclonic storm had a maximum sustained wind speed of 90-100 kilometers per hour and caused flooding, evacuations, and the cancellation of more than 30 flights. Authorities set up over 1,900 relief camps and evacuated tens of thousands from low-lying areas. Schools were closed, train services disrupted, and fishing activities suspended in affected regions. Neighboring Odisha was also on alert for heavy rain. Cyclone Montha is part of a trend of increasingly intense storms linked to warming ocean temperatures due to climate change.
