On October 25, Nagpur and surrounding regions in Vidarbha were enveloped in cloud cover, yet significant rainfall was largely absent. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) had issued an orange alert for Gadchiroli, anticipating heavy rain, but the area remained mostly dry throughout the day.

In Nagpur, light rain was reported in isolated locations, but the city itself experienced a predominantly dry day. Meanwhile, Amravati had been under cloudy skies since morning, with residents unaware of the impending rain that began around 9:15 PM, lasting approximately 20 minutes.

Chandrapur, on the other hand, saw a different weather pattern. The drizzle commenced around 5:15 PM and quickly escalated into moderate rainfall, continuing for about half an hour. This rainfall was attributed to the influence of Cyclone Arnab, which was expected to bring more precipitation to the region.

The weather conditions have raised concerns among local residents, particularly in areas like Gadchiroli, where the orange alert indicated potential for severe weather. The lack of significant rainfall in Nagpur, despite the cloud cover, has left many wondering about the effectiveness of the weather predictions.

Looking ahead, the IMD continues to monitor the situation closely, and residents are advised to stay updated on weather alerts. With Cyclone Arnab's trajectory still uncertain, further developments in rainfall patterns are anticipated in the coming days.
