On a Tuesday evening, the India Meteorological Department officially announced that the Severe Cyclonic Storm Montha has initiated its landfall along the Andhra Pradesh coast. The specific location of the landfall is predicted to be between Machilipatnam and Kalingapatnam, near the city of Kakinada. Classified as a Severe Cyclonic Storm, Montha is currently producing sustained winds of 90 to 100 kilometres per hour, with gusts reaching up to 110 kilometres per hour.
The latest update from the IMD states that the cyclone is moving in a north-northwest direction and is expected to complete its landfall within the next three to four hours. As it makes its way towards the coast, coastal areas are likely to experience heavy rainfall, powerful gale-force winds, and storm surges that may lead to flooding in low-lying regions. In light of this, authorities have strongly advised residents in vulnerable coastal districts to remain indoors and avoid venturing near the shoreline until the storm has completely passed.
To ensure the safety and well-being of those in affected areas, disaster response and emergency teams have been deployed across the region and are prepared to take action if needed. Rescue and relief operations are also on standby, ready to assist those in need. As the situation continues to evolve, residents are urged to stay updated with the latest developments and follow the instructions of local authorities. Our thoughts and prayers are with all those affected by this severe cyclonic storm.
