Key Points
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.
Explanation:
The year 2020 is slowly but steadily making its way up to the top of the list of worst years we have seen. While the entire world battles the COVID-19 pandemic, India has another threat approaching its shores at a speed of 140 kmph. Super Cyclone Amphan is headed towards Odisha and West Bengal and will probably move inward into Bangladesh. But this is not the first super cyclone this region has seen — the 1999 Odisha cyclone that claimed 9,887 lives was the most intense recorded tropical cyclone in the North Indian Ocean and among the most destructive in the region. While the internet floods with updates on Amphan, let's find out what a super cyclone is and what the reports are actually telling us.
