Let we know some of the interesting facts about naming of these Cyclones...

|| Naming Of Tropical Cyclone ||

  • The Regional Specialized Meteorological Centers (RSMCs) and Tropical Cyclone Warning Centers (TCWCs) are responsible for the naming of Cyclones , that form in every ocean basin across the World.

  • As per the protocol, The areas that are subordinate to IMD are North Indian Ocean, Including The Bay of Bengal and Arabian Sea. After following a standard procedure IMD names the cyclone developing over these regions.

  • The list of 169 Cyclone names released by IMD last month, in April, were provided by these countries - 13 suggestions from each of the 13 countries. The new list included the last name from the previous list (Amphan) as it remained unused at the time of release.
