The Odisha government on Monday (October 27, 2025) deployed disaster response forces and shut down schools in eight districts that are likely to be impacted by Cyclone Montha.
The cyclonic storm is likely to move north-northwestwards and intensify into a severe cyclonic storm by the morning of Tuesday (October 28). Continuing to move further north-northwestwards, it is very likely to cross Andhra Pradesh coast between Machilipatnam and Kalingapatnam around Kakinada during evening as a severe cyclonic storm with a maximum sustained wind speed of 90-100 kmph gusting to 110 kmph, said India Meteorological Department (IMD) in its bulletin.
