Daily Mirror and Sri Lanka Mirror report that very severe Cyclone Arnab made landfall on the coast of Andhra Pradesh, India, and that its influence on Sri Lanka’s weather gradually weakened. Newsfirst reports that the Department of Meteorology expected the island’s weather impact to begin easing from October 28.

Lankadeepa reports that by 2:30 a.m. on October 27, Arnab had strengthened to a very severe cyclonic storm and was about 890 kilometres northeast of Kankesanturai. WhatNews also reports the storm had reached very severe status and was centred roughly that far northeast of Kankesanturai. Rupavahini News says the system had developed from a deep depression over the east-central Bay of Bengal.

Rupavahini News reports that the Department of Meteorology issued a red alert at 9:30 a.m. on October 26, valid for 12 hours, warning of strong winds, rough seas and possible thunderstorms in affected sea areas. It forecast winds of 80–100 kilometres per hour and waves of three to four metres, and advised fishing and naval activity to stop across specified parts of the Bay of Bengal until further notice; those already at sea were advised to move to safer areas and follow updates.

Daily Mirror and Newswire report that the storm’s influence on Sri Lanka has weakened. Ada Derana reports that the cyclone weakened and that warnings for fishing and naval activity were withdrawn; Hiru News likewise reports the withdrawal of warnings for deep-sea areas. Ada Derana and Newswire report that showers remain forecast in several areas, while Sri Lanka Mirror reports that winds of up to 50 kilometres per hour were expected in some areas.
