Cyclones: Coastal Preparedness, Early Warning Systems & AI-based Forecasting
India’s long coastline faces recurrent tropical cyclones from both the Bay of Bengal and the Arabian Sea. While the Bay of Bengal accounts for nearly 80% of India’s cyclones, changing sea surface temperatures and climatic shifts have increased the frequency of intense cyclones in the Arabian Sea as well. Preparedness through early warning systems, community resilience, and AI-enhanced forecasting is now at the heart of India’s coastal disaster management strategy.
