  • 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.
