Cyclone Montha

Cyclone Montha, a developing cyclonic storm in the Bay of Bengal, is expected to make landfall along India's eastern coastline between Andhra Pradesh and Odisha. The system has intensified into a severe cyclonic storm, bringing winds up to 110 kmph and heavy rainfall. Authorities have evacuated over 4 million people from low-lying areas and set up relief camps in anticipation of the impact. Schools are closed, beach activities suspended, and coastal districts brace for flooding. Cyclone Montha's approach highlights the region's vulnerability to extreme weather events and underscores the preparedness measures taken by local governments.
