Weather experts have predicted the formation of twin cyclones in the Arabian Sea and the Bay of Bengal, in a rare phenomenon previously observed in 2018. While cyclone ‘Tej’ is set to turn into a severe storm brewing in the Arabian sea, cyclone ‘Hamoon’ in the Bay of Bengal is in a premature stage.
‘Tej’, the cyclonic storm that took form in the southwest Arabian Sea, continues to intensify and will turn into a very severe storm by Sunday (October 22) afternoon. It will eventually move towards the south coast of Oman and adjoining Yemen, according to the India Meteorological Department (IMD).
Concurrently, Cyclone Hamoon will emerge in the Bay, moving close to the Andhra coast before being diverted by the Western Disturbance.
