Cyclone Mocha

 The IMD reports that a low-pressure region has formed over the southeast Bay of Bengal and adjacent South Andaman Sea on Monday, leading to the development of Cyclone Mocha.

     All of the Eastern states have been put on high alert as a deep depression in the Bay of Bengal is expected to build into a cyclonic storm across the southeast Bay of Bengal and neighboring parts of the east-central Bay of Bengal and the Andaman Sea. On Monday, a low-pressure region emerged over the southeast Bay of Bengal and adjacent South Andaman Sea, per the India Meteorological Department (IMD).





The origin of the name "Cyclone Mocha"

  Named after the Red Sea port city credited with spreading coffee over the globe more than 500 years ago, Cyclone Mocha (Mokha) was suggested by Yemen. Notably, Cyclones are given different names in different regions.

    The United Nations Economic and Social Commission (ESCAP) and the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) agreed on a standard for naming cyclones. The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) states that names given to tropical cyclones in the Atlantic and Southern Hemisphere (Indian Ocean and South Pacific) alternate between female and male names, while names given in the Northern Indian Ocean are listed alphabetically by country and are not gendered.
