Cyclone Biparjoy

 A deep depression over the southeast Arabian Sea rapidly intensified into a very severe cyclone storm ‘Biparjoy’ in the last few days. As per the latest updates, the cyclone on Tuesday weakened into a very severe cyclonic storm. According to the Indian Meteorological Department (IMD), the cyclone has been moving northwards at a speed of five kilometres per hour and is centred approximately 270 km southwest of Gujarat’s Porbandar.  It is expected to cross Gujarat’s Saurashtra and Kutch regions as well as adjoining Pakistan coasts on Thursday. At the time of land wind speed may be go upto 150kmph

What is the meaning of ‘Biparjoy’?

The name of the cyclonic storm, Biparjoy is recommended by Bangladesh, which is pronounced as ‘Biparjoy’. In Bangla, the word Biparjoy means ‘disaster’. The naming was done  by the World Meteorological Organisation (WMO). The naming of cyclones is done by countries on a rotational basis, following certain existing guidelines. 

How are tropical cyclones named?

All the cyclones are named as per the World Meteorological Organisation (WMO) and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP) Panel on Tropical Cyclones (PTC). The practice was started in order to ensure quick identification of warning messages because names are presumed to be far easier to remember than numbers or any other technical terms.


Before, the tropical storms were named randomly, then the meteorologists later decided to identify these cyclones using names from a list arranged alphabetically. Such lists are used on a rotational basis.


For the Atlantic and in the Southern Hemisphere (Indian Ocean and South Pacific), a panel of 13 countries, namely India, Bangladesh, Myanmar, Pakistan, Maldives, Oman, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Iran, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates and Yemen, name the cyclones in the region.

2. The name should be chosen in such a way that it does not hurt the sentiments of any group of population over the globe.

5. The maximum length of the name will be eight letters
