Brief explanation on how Cyclones are named which are controlled by the World Meteorological agency.
In the Indian Ocean, there are 13 Countries and each Country has to suggest 13 names per Country for naming future cyclones. This list was compiled in 2020. Hence 13 Countries X by 13 = 169 names.
I have attached the list below. As can be seen that next Cyclone will be called Yaas suggested by Oman.By the way this is forming in the Bay of Bengal and will hit Orrisa/West Bengal/Bangladesh by 26th to 27th May.
After Yaas, the next Cyclone name will be Gulab as suggested by Pakistan.
This will go on till all 169 names are exhausted. By this time are great, great, great great Grandchildren will live to see the end of the list😊
Hope you find this information of cyclone naming interesting?
