Cyclone Montha Approaches South India as North Experiences Colder Temperatures

As of October 28, 2025, several states in South India are bracing for the impact of Cyclone Montha, which is expected to make landfall today. The Indian Meteorological Department has issued heavy rainfall alerts for Kerala, Karnataka, coastal Andhra Pradesh, and Tamil Nadu, as the cyclone is likely to bring significant precipitation to these regions.

Meanwhile, the weather in North India is gradually changing, with a cold breeze blowing in Delhi-NCR. The national capital is expected to witness light to moderate rains in the coming days, which could further lower the temperature and make mornings and evenings feel colder.

In addition to the cyclone's impact in the south, the weather department has also issued a nationwide weather warning for the next seven days. This is due to the formation of two weather systems in the Bay of Bengal and the Arabian Sea, which are expected to bring heavy rainfall to several parts of the country, including Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, Odisha, Kerala, Karnataka, and Chhattisgarh.

The Ranchi Meteorological Center has predicted heavy rainfall in several districts of Jharkhand between October 28 and 31, with the possibility of thunderstorms and lightning. Similarly, the Patna Meteorological Department has issued a heavy rainfall alert in Bihar starting from October 28, as a low-pressure area over the Bay of Bengal is likely to develop into a cyclonic storm.

The weather department has also warned of heavy rainfall in West Bengal from October 28 to 31, although the cyclone is expected to make landfall along the coast of Andhra Pradesh. The impact may be felt in South Bengal, including Kolkata, South 24 Parganas, Medinipur, Howrah, Jhargram, Purulia, Bankura, and Hooghly.
