Explained: What makes Cyclone Fani unique, all you need to know about deadliest cyclones in India
Timing and strength are two factors that make Cyclone Fani different from most other tropical cyclones in this time of the year. Cyclone Fani developed near the Equator and this allowed it to gather massive strength and moisture as it could travel a long distance over the sea.
cyclone Fani, which has been classified as an extremely severe cyclone (ESC), is the 10th such cyclone to hit India in May in past 52 years. Data from the India Meteorological Department (IMD) show that the last time an extremely severe cyclone hit India in May was in 2004. The other years when such cyclones were witnessed in May are: 1968, 1976, 1979, 1982, 1997, 1999 and 2001.
Generally, extremely severe cyclones hit India's east coast in the post-monsoon season (October-December). IMD data on cyclones that hit India between 1965 and 2017 show that the country has weathered 39 extremely severe cyclones in these 52 years. Of these, nearly 60 per cent (23) were between October and December.
