32% rise in cyclones in past 5 years : IMD

Besides the calamitous effects of global warming, the other reasons for increase in cyclones is the fall in morality and rising trend of evil tendencies in society in India. The citizens of India need to be imparted education on Dharma so that they abide by Dharma and save themselves from such calamities.

Pune (Maharashtra) – The number of cyclones and severe cyclones in the Arabian Sea and the Bay of Bengal has risen by nearly 11% in the last decade, with an alarming 32% increase recorded in the last five years, data from India Meteorological Department (IMD) reveals.

Back-to-back cyclones have caused havoc and affected weather patterns recently. But the sharp rise in the past 5 years in comparison with the previous decades could be an alarming pointer to the calamitous effects of global warming.

There were 7 cyclones each in 2018 and 2019, the highest since 1985 when too 7 cyclones were recorded. Similarly, 6 severe cyclones each hit India in 2018 and 2019, the highest since 1976, when 7 were recorded.

This year, the extremely severe cyclonic storm Fani devastated Odisha and the southern parts of Gangetic Bengal in April. Vayu, another very severe cyclone, delayed the monsoon’s onset over parts of the country. On average, 4 cyclones affected India each year during 2010-2019, higher than the average of 3 in the previous decades since 1980, said Anupam Kashyapi, Chief of IMD, Pune.
