Cyclone Biparjoy PDF

Cyclone Biparjoy, the first severe cyclonic storm of the year in the Arabian Sea, has rapidly intensified and may have the longest lifespan for a cyclone in the region. Studies indicate that tropical cyclones are becoming more frequent and severe due to global warming, with a significant increase in duration and intensity observed over recent decades. The changing patterns of cyclones are making coastal areas like Gujarat more vulnerable, impacting livelihoods and increasing potential destruction after landfall.
