The India Meteorological Department said Severe Cyclonic Storm Murasu struck the Andhra Pradesh coast on 3 November, delivering strong winds and heavy rain but leaving the power grid unaffected.

Six National Disaster Response Force teams and seven State Disaster Response Force units were positioned in Andhra Pradesh districts ahead of the expected landfall near Ongole, where winds of 100-120 km/h were forecast.

Résumé

Six NDRF and seven SDRF teams were positioned in Andhra Pradesh districts ahead of Cyclone Murasu's anticipated landfall near Ongole on November 2, 2026, but some details remain unconfirmed. Cyclone Murasu struck the coast of Andhra Pradesh on November 3, 2026, with partial confirmation of the event and its timing. The claim that the IMD forecasted a depression over the Bay of Bengal on October 31, 2026, that could intensify into a cyclone by Monday with heavy rain and strong winds has insufficient evidence. Cyclone Murasu was projected to make landfall along the Andhra Pradesh coast on November 3 with winds up to 120 km/h, a claim partially confirmed. Cyclone Murasu formed over the Bay of Bengal on November 1, 2026, a claim also partially confirmed.
