Statements
- A cyclonic storm that makes landfall typically weakens progressively, first into a deep depression and then into a low-pressure area, as it moves inland and is cut off from the warm ocean surface that sustains it.
- An upper-air cyclonic circulation over the Bay of Bengal or Andaman Sea is itself classified as a named cyclonic storm by the India Meteorological Department, and its future track can be forecast with high precision at the time of its detection.
- The northeast monsoon predominantly influences rainfall over peninsular India, particularly the southeastern coast, during the October–December period, and a Bay of Bengal low-pressure system during this season can help bridge rainfall deficiencies in states such as Kerala.
