Weather Update: Following landfall in Andhra Pradesh, the remnants of Cyclone Arnab continue to move inland, triggering widespread rainfall across several parts of the country. At the same time, a new low-pressure system over the Bay of Bengal and a Western Disturbance are combining with the storm's remnants. This interaction is set to increase rainfall across northern and eastern states, including Delhi, Punjab, and Haryana.

As rain decreases over the next two to three days, temperatures across North India are forecast to drop significantly, marking the onset of winter.
