Severe Cyclonic Storm Michaung [a] (Burmese pronunciation: [mɪʔtɕʰaʊɰ̃]) was a moderate tropical cyclone which formed in the Bay of Bengal during the 2023 North Indian Ocean cyclone season. Michaung originated as a low-pressure area in the Gulf of Thailand which crossed into the Bay of Bengal and became a deep depression on December 2.
The 2023 North Indian Ocean cyclone season was an above-average and deadly season, becoming the most active since 2019, with nine depressions and six cyclonic storms forming. It was the deadliest since 2017 , mostly due to Cyclone Mocha , and had the second-highest accumulated cyclone energy (ACE) in the basin, after 2019. [ 1 ]
BHUBANESWAR, India (Reuters) -Cyclone Michaung barrelled into the southern Indian coast on Tuesday with winds of up to 110 kph (70 mph), its arrival preceded by intense rain and flooding that ...
The category was historically used to classify all tropical cyclones with winds above 48 knots (89 km/h; 55 mph), however, it was bifurcated during 1988, when the IMD introduced a new category called Severe Cyclonic Storm with a core of hurricane winds. This new category was later further refined into Very Severe Cyclonic Storms, Extremely ...
In most regions, if the atmospheric pressure drops at least 24 millibars within 24 hours, it is considered a bomb cyclone. Bomb cyclones can occur when a cold air mass collides with a warm air ...
Within the basin a very severe cyclonic storm is defined as a tropical cyclone that has 3-minute mean maximum sustained wind speeds of between 64–89 knots (119–165 km/h; 74–102 mph). The category was introduced alongside the Super Cyclonic Storm category during 1999 in order to replace the previously used Severe Cyclonic Storm with Core ...
Cyclones, also known as typhoons and called hurricanes in North America, are enormous heat engines of wind and rain that feed on warm ocean water and moist air. And scientists say the climate ...
Cyclone Marcus at peak intensity on 21 March 2018, over the Indian Ocean to the west of Australia. Category 5 severe tropical cyclones are tropical cyclones that reach Category 5 intensity on the Australian tropical cyclone intensity scale within the Australian region. They are by definition the strongest tropical cyclones that can form on Earth.
