Cyclone Arnab causes confusion as IMD clarifies it's just a deep depression
- A weather system over the Bay of Bengal sparked talk of “Cyclone Arnab”, but it was not officially a cyclone.
- The India Meteorological Department classified it as a deep depression, which crossed the Andhra Pradesh coast near Kalingapatnam on September 23.
- “Arnab” is simply the next name on the North Indian Ocean cyclone list, and would be used only if the system reached cyclone strength.
- The system brought heavy rain and strong winds to parts of Andhra Pradesh and Odisha, prompting alerts and precautionary measures.
