Cyclones are severe storms that form over oceans. Different countries in the Indian Ocean region give names to cyclones. When a cyclone forms, the country where it originates suggests a name for it. In this case India named the cyclone Tej.
Before ‘Tej ‘another cyclone was named ‘Byparjoy’ and this name was given by the country of Bangladesh. These names make it easier for people to identify and talk about the cyclones especially when there are multiple cyclones in the region at the same time. It’s a way to keep track of and communicate about these powerful storms.
A low-pressure area in the Arabian Sea has become stronger and is now called Cyclone Tej. The Meteorological Department which predicts the weather says that this cyclone won’t cause significant problems in Goa. In other words while there is a cyclone it’s not likely to have a big impact on the weather in Goa. People in Goa don’t need to worry much about it.
Cyclones often form in the Arabian Sea and the Bay of Bengal because of big changes in temperature when the monsoon season starts and ends. Monsoons bring a lot of rain and wind. When there’s a low-pressure area in the sea it’s more likely to become a cyclone. This time a low-pressure area formed on October 19 and it became a cyclone on October 21 one day earlier than what the Meteorological Department had predicted. sometimes these storms can form a bit faster than expected.
Just like what’s happening in the Arabian Sea there’s a low-pressure area in the Bay of Bengal too. This low-pressure area is getting stronger and heading towards Bangladesh’s coast. Because the Bay of Bengal’s weather is connected to the Indian subcontinent the changes there can affect the weather in India and the surrounding areas. what’s happening in the Bay of Bengal can influence the climate in this part of the world.
When cyclones form different countries in the region give them names. This time India named the cyclone ‘Tej’ and Bangladesh named a previous cyclone ‘Byparjoy.’ If another cyclone forms after ‘Tej’ it will be named by Iran, and it will be called ‘Hamun.’ different countries take turns to name the cyclones and ‘Hamun’ is the name Iran will use for the next one. This helps keep track of the cyclones and makes it easier to talk about them.
