Answer:
This essay comes from Kolkata in midst of the ravages that super cyclonic storm Amphan has left us with. South West Bengal that entails the Ganges delta (where Kolkata is located) has borne the brunt of the rage of the monstrous catastrophe that is unprecedented in recent history.
Answer:
Cyclone Amphan (pronounced as UM-PUN) is a tropical cyclone formed over Bay of Bengal that has intensified and likely to turn into a “super cyclonic storm (maximum wind speed is 120 knots)”.
According to the India Meteorological Department forecast, it will make landfall as a very severe cyclone between the Sagar islands of West Bengal and the Hatiya islands of Bangladesh.
It has been named by Thailand.
Affected Regions:West Bengal, Odisha and Bangladesh.
Amphan is the second pre-monsoon cyclone to form in the Bay of Bengal in two years. The first one was Cyclone Fani.
The pre-monsoon period is generally considered to be unsupportive for the formation of tropical cyclones.
