IMD Director General Mrityunjay Mohapatra stated that Cyclone Dana exhibits characteristics of a multi-cyclonic model, which could mean multiple storm systems contributing to its strength. This development comes as Peninsular India is already experiencing consistent rainfall in various regions, including parts of Odisha, coastal Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, interior and coastal Karnataka, Konkan, Goa, Maharashtra, and Gujarat.

Over the next two to four days, weather conditions may worsen with the intensification of rainfall across these regions. IMD has also predicted thunderstorms with lightning in isolated places across north and south coastal Andhra Pradesh, Yanam, and Rayalaseema from Monday through Wednesday. Heavy rainfall is likely to occur in north coastal Andhra Pradesh and Yanam from Thursday to Saturday.

The IMD urges residents and authorities in vulnerable coastal areas to be on high alert, as the cyclone could potentially cause disruptions and severe weather conditions along the Odisha and West Bengal coastlines. Preparedness and timely action are critical as Cyclone Dana continues to develop.
