Two cyclones — Arnab and Murasu — forming and hitting the same area in less than a week is a ‘climatological anomaly’ that has rarely happened along the Bengal-Odisha-Andhra coast, said weather scientists. Cyclone Arnab struck the Andhra coast on Oct 28, while Cyclone Murasu was due to make landfall between Monday midnight and Tuesday morning. The rapid succession within less than seven days is described as an exceptionally rare meteorological event.
