Cyclone Yas

What is Cyclone?
Cyclones or cyclones are a low-pressure process of weather consisting of rain, thunder, and strong cyclonic winds caused by tropical oceans that transfer heat generated in the equatorial region to the polar region. This type of storm is called a cyclone because the wind blows at high speeds. Cyclones rotate counterclockwise in the northern hemisphere and clockwise in the southern hemisphere.Although a cyclone hits the coast and causes a disaster, it is a normal process of weathering that maintains the earth's heat balance. On average, there are about 60 cyclones in the world every year. Most of it melts at sea, but the small number of shocks that hit the coast often cause terrible damage.

Region and duration of cyclone formation

The tropical oceans are divided into seven basins or regions as cyclone-producing regions.

The meteorological departments of various countries are working under the auspices of the World Meteorological Organization to monitor and warn the movement of cyclones in each region.

Cyclone Yas

Cyclone Yas is located in the east-central part of the Bay of Bengal. Meanwhile, the Indian Meteorological Office said that a strong cyclone has taken shape since the morning of May 24. The Indian Meteorological Office said the cyclone would intensify in the next 24 hours. Whenever a storm or natural disaster occurs, it is code-named Escap, the regional meteorological agency of the World Meteorological Organization. This time the name of the cyclone has been suggested by Oman, a member of ESCAP. Yash means ‘despair’, sorrow. The Persian word for this word is given by Oman to the committee of ESCAP comprising 13 countries of the world including India, Bangladesh, Myanmar. According to international law, the names of the countries in the basin that create cyclones in the ocean are decided. The other cyclones that have been named after Yas are Gulab, Sahin, Jawad, Ashani, Sitrang, Mandous, Mocha.
