Summary

A deep depression originating in the Bay of Bengal made landfall on the Andhra Pradesh-Odisha coast on September 24, 2026, bringing heavy to extreme rainfall, high winds, and widespread flooding. The India Meteorological Department issued red alerts for multiple districts, particularly Nabarangapur in Odisha, with some areas receiving over 100 mm of rainfall. Authorities evacuated thousands of residents from vulnerable areas and closed schools across affected regions. More than 8,000 people were moved to safety in Odisha alone. The system caused significant damage including landslides that disrupted electricity distribution, uprooted trees that damaged power lines and vehicles, and flooding that cut off road connectivity in numerous villages. Rivers and streams overflowed, prompting flood warnings. At least four deaths were reported due to electrocution. State governments in both Odisha and Andhra Pradesh deployed emergency response teams and directed officials to restore infrastructure and prevent further casualties. The meteorological department predicted the system would gradually weaken over 24 hours from the time of landfall.
