About Indian Cyclones

Your independent source for cyclone analysis in the Indian Ocean region

Our Mission

Indian Cyclones is an independent platform dedicated to providing accessible and timely information about tropical cyclones in the Indian Ocean region, specifically the Bay of Bengal and Arabian Sea.

We believe that understanding cyclones should not require a meteorology degree. Our mission is to bridge the gap between complex meteorological data and public understanding, making cyclone tracking and analysis easy to follow for everyone.

What We Do

  • Track and monitor active tropical cyclones in real-time
  • Provide simplified analysis of satellite imagery and meteorological data
  • Maintain comprehensive historical records of past cyclones
  • Publish educational content about cyclone formation and behavior
  • Share regular bulletins during active cyclone seasons

Data Sources

We compile information from multiple reliable sources:

  • India Meteorological Department (IMD) - Official forecasts and warnings
  • Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC) - Alternative analysis and forecasts
  • Windy.com - Real-time weather visualization
  • Satellite Imagery - INSAT, NOAA, Himawari, and other sources
  • AI-Generated Visuals - Illustrative cyclone and weather visuals created for presentation purposes
  • Historical Records - Academic research and official archives
  • Wikipedia - Historical cyclone information and background references

Our Methodology

Our analysis follows the India Meteorological Department's classification system for tropical cyclones:

Depression (D) - 31-49 km/h
Deep Depression (DD) - 50-61 km/h
Cyclonic Storm (CS) - 62-88 km/h
Severe Cyclonic Storm (SCS) - 89-117 km/h
Very Severe Cyclonic Storm (VSCS) - 118-166 km/h
