• Cyclones pose significant risks to India's coastal regions, affecting lives, infrastructure, and agriculture.
• Learn how warming seas and climate change amplify these threats and what measures can mitigate their impact.

The Role of Climate Change in Cyclone Formation

According to meteorologists, warming seas and a hotter atmosphere are contributing to the increased intensity of cyclones. The Bay of Bengal, a hotspot for cyclonic activity, has experienced unusually high temperatures, which fuel storms like Cyclone Arnab. Experts note that a warmer atmosphere can hold more moisture, leading to heavier rainfall during such events. Additionally, human-induced climate change is amplifying the rainfall and rapid intensification of these storms.
