Digital Desk: In a rare meteorological event, twin cyclones are forming simultaneously, raising concerns across the Indian subcontinent and its neighboring regions. Cyclone 'Tej' in the Arabian Sea and Cyclone 'Hamoon' in the Bay of Bengal are in the process of intensifying. Such an occurrence is a rare event, with the last instance of twin cyclones happening five years ago in 2018.
Cyclone 'Tej' Targets Yemen-Oman Coasts
Cyclone 'Tej,' which originated in the Arabian Sea, is currently on a trajectory towards the Yemen-Oman coasts. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has been closely monitoring its development and path. The formation of this cyclonic system in the Arabian Sea has raised concerns among authorities, and they are taking precautionary measures to mitigate the potential impact.
Cyclone 'Hamoon' Gathers Strength in Bay of Bengal
In the Bay of Bengal, the formation of Cyclone 'Hamoon' is also raising alarms. According to the IMD bulletin, a deep depression over the Bay of Bengal is expected to intensify into a cyclone by Monday evening. Once fully formed, the cyclonic storm will be officially named 'Hamoon,' as designated by Iran.
The system is currently positioned in the west-central Bay of Bengal, having moved northeastward. As of the latest update, it is approximately 400 km from Paradip in Odisha and 550 km south-southwest of Digha in West Bengal. These developments have prompted coastal regions to be on alert and prepare for the impending cyclone.

Cyclone 'Hamoon' rapidly intensifies
The deep depression over the Bay of Bengal has swiftly intensified into Cyclone 'Hamoon.' Over the last six hours, it moved north at a speed of 14 kmph. At 5.30 pm on Monday, the cyclonic storm was located around 230 km off the Paradip coast in Odisha, 360 km south of Digha in West Bengal, and 510 km south-southwest of Khepupara in Bangladesh.
The IMD's latest forecasts predict that 'Hamoon' will further strengthen into a severe cyclonic storm over the northwest Bay of Bengal in the next 12 hours. This cyclone is expected to make landfall on the Bangladesh coast between Khepupara and Chittagong around 12 p.m. on October 25, characterized as a deep depression.
Rainfall warnings issued
The IMD has issued region-wise rainfall warnings in light of the twin cyclones' approach. Mizoram and Tripura are expected to experience light to moderate rainfall, with isolated heavy rainfall on October 24. Isolated heavy rainfall is also likely over the same region on October 25, with a decrease in intensity on October 26.
Furthermore, South Assam and Eastern Meghalaya are expected to receive light to moderate rainfall on October 24–25, with isolated heavy rainfall in South Assam. Coastal districts of Odisha are predicted to receive light to moderate rainfall on October 24, while parts of West Bengal may witness light to moderate rainfall with isolated heavy rainfall in coastal areas on the same day.
Authorities and residents in the affected regions are urged to remain vigilant and take necessary precautions to minimize the potential impact of the twin cyclones 'Tej' and 'Hamoon.'
