North Indian Ocean tropical cyclones are intense rotating storm systems that form over the Bay of Bengal and the Arabian Sea, generally between March and June or October and December. Although representing only 6% of global cyclones, they are particularly dangerous, causing over 80% of global fatalities due to their high intensity in a densely populated region. Key Regions: They mainly develop in the Bay of Bengal (more frequent) and the Arabian Sea. Peak Season: The primary seasons are pre-monsoon (April-May) and post-monsoon (October-December). Characteristics: These storms feature low-pressure centers, strong winds, and heavy rain. In the Northern Hemisphere, they rotate anticlockwise. Naming: Names are provided by 13 member countries (including India, Bangladesh, Oman, Thailand) under the WMO/ESCAP panel. Impact: They commonly cause extensive damage to coastal areas of India, Bangladesh, Myanmar, and Oman. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) acts as the Regional Specialized Meteorological centre (RSMC) for this basin .
