Solution
Tropical cyclone is a rapidly rotating
storm system with low pressure centre and spiral arrangement of thunderstorms
resulting in heavy rainfall.
Tropical cyclones in summer: The three-fourth of tropical cyclones originate in Bay of Bengal and rest in Arabian
Sea.
Most of the storms of Bay of
Bengal move towards north or north-west and take a curve towards north-east and
strike Bangladesh
and the Arakan Coast of Myanmar. These are quite severe and cause damage to
life and property.
Arabian Sea born storms are
formed in May and move away from Indian coast in north western direction and dissipate
in sea.
