Cyclone Arnab brings rain, hailstorm risk to Delhi-NCR on Thursday
The Story in Brief
The India Meteorological Department has forecast widespread rain across north India, including Delhi-NCR, Uttar Pradesh and Haryana, as an approaching western disturbance interacts with moisture from Cyclone Arnab, NDTV reports. Urban Acres says Delhi-NCR is likely to witness thunderstorms accompanied by hailstorms on Thursday, 29 October, as the cyclone moves inland after landfall along the Andhra Pradesh-Yanam coast. Lightning and gusty winds are also forecast over Delhi, Haryana and Chandigarh.
The IMD has issued warnings for heavy to extremely heavy rainfall at isolated places in Bihar, Chhattisgarh, east Madhya Pradesh, east Uttar Pradesh, Jharkhand and Odisha on Thursday, Urban Acres adds. Jagran Josh reports that Cyclone Arnab crossed the coast between Visakhapatnam and Yanam on Wednesday, 28 October, as a very severe cyclonic storm with wind speeds of 125 to 135 km/h and gusts up to 150 km/h, citing IMD chief Dr. Mrutyunjay Mohapatra. The IMD has advised regulated offshore transport and warned of potential power and communication disruptions.
Indian Opinion Analysis
NDTV and Urban Acres both deliver neutral straight reporting on the weather forecast, while Jagran Josh provides a neutral agency-style roundup that also includes official video briefings from the IMD and a municipal commissioner. All three outlets rely on IMD data and advisories without adding independent commentary or political framing. The coverage is uniform across sources, differing only in geographic scope: Urban Acres leads with the Delhi-NCR hailstorm risk, NDTV with the western disturbance interaction, and Jagran Josh with a state-by-state breakdown. The shared next step is the forecast for continued rainfall into early November.
