Shakti Cyclone: India has not had a single cyclone in the first half of this year. Usually, cyclones form in the Bay of Bengal or the Arabian Sea before the onset of monsoon.
India has two cyclone seasons i.e. April-May before monsoon and October-November after monsoon most of the cyclones occur.
However, even after the half of May is over this year, no storm or depression or major system has yet formed in both the seas.
There are reports in some news media that the first cyclone of this year (shakti cyclone) is likely to form in the Andaman Sea and after that it is likely to move forward and reach the Bay of Bengal.
Will there really be a storm in the seas of India?
According to the Meteorological Department, a cyclonic circulation is currently formed in the south-west Bay of Bengal and a cyclonic circulation is also formed in the Andaman Sea.
Apart from this, the monsoon is likely to advance in the next three to four days and reach various parts of the Bay of Bengal and the Arabian Sea.The India Meteorological Department monitors the systems that form in the Bay of Bengal and the Arabian Sea and the North Indian Ocean.
Generally, after the formation of a cyclonic circulation, if the system strengthens, it becomes a low-pressure area, which then becomes a depression or deep depression, and later becomes a hurricane.
Cyclonic circulation is the most primary system and many such systems occur during the year. Usually many factors must be favorable for a hurricane to form.
As of now, the Meteorological Department has not said anywhere in its bulletin that the cyclonic circulation will strengthen into a low-pressure area or a cyclone in the coming days.
In addition, the Arabian Sea also often experiences cyclones before the monsoon, such as the 2021 Cyclone Taukat which hit the coast of Gujarat.
In 2023, Cyclone Biparjoy occurred in the month of June and the monsoon was also delayed due to this storm in the Arabian Sea.
