[citation needed], As the system intensified into a deep depression, the IMD issued a pre-cyclone watch for the coastline of the state of Gujarat. The name ‘Fani’ was decided from a list containing 64 names. [14][16] Vertical wind shear also continued to decrease as the depression tracked steadily north-northwestwards parallel to the western coast of India under the influence of an anticyclone over central India. The first cyclone named by India was Agni, in 2004, and the last one was Vayu in 2019. Tags: PRELIMS. [59][60] The prolonged strong winds generated waves of around 4 m (13 ft) high along large parts of coastline. [19] At 18:00 UTC on 10 June, the system strengthened into the third cyclonic storm of the season, and was named Vayu by the IMD. How did Vayu get its name and how are cyclones usually named?The previous cyclone to come out of the Bay of Bengal was named Fani which caused a loss of an estimated Rs 9,336.26 crore in Odisha. Vayu reached peak intensity as a high-end very severe cyclonic storm at 06:00 UTC on 12 June, with three-minute sustained winds of 150 km/h (90 mph) and a minimum pressure of 970 hPa (28.64 inHg). Vayu was the second Very Severe Cyclonic Storm of the 2019 North Indian Ocean cyclone season, and the first to form in the Arabian Sea. Names can be suggested by the general public in the member country or by the government. [20], Vayu continued to steadily strengthen after intensifying into a cyclonic storm. These countries proposed eight names which are then arranged in an 8×8 table. Next, the cyclone name will be given by say Maldives and they have named one Hika. [34] The majority of deep convection became confined to the cyclone's southern quadrants,[34] causing the system to weaken to a severe cyclonic storm at 00:00 UTC on 16 June. The cyclone which is around 340 km south of Gujarat’s Veraval coast been named by India as “Vayu”. [25][26] As Vayu approached the coastline of the state of Gujarat in northwestern India, the influence of a strengthening subtropical ridge over Saudi Arabia caused the system to gradually slow down and turn towards the west. Meanwhile, Cyclone Vayu has turned into a “very severe cyclonic storm” and it is likely to cause gusty winds to blow at a speed of 145 kmph to 170 kmph by Thursday morning, according to IMD. The World Meteorological Organisation (WMO) had devised the nomenclature of the cyclones. The new list comprises 13 names of cyclones each for the 13 member countries, totalling to 169. Vayu became a severe cyclonic storm by 12:00 UTC, and reached Category 1 tropical cyclone status on the Saffir–Simpson hurricane wind scale (SSHWS). It was the strongest tropical cyclone to affect the Saurashtra Peninsula of northwestern India since the 1998 Gujarat cyclone. The list has 64 names. [15] Conditions were favourable for further intensification, with improving upper-level divergence, and ample energy being provided by extremely warm sea surface temperatures of 31 °C (88 °F). The names are normally chosen in sequence, when the list is exhausted, we return to the start of the list. The next cyclone named 'Vayu' was suggested by India. [68] Crude oil and plastic waste were washed up onto beaches on the Raigad, Ratnagiri and Sindhudurg coasts by waves generated by Vayu. SCS ‘VAYU’ over Eastcentral Arabian Sea intensified into Very Severe Cyclonic Storm near latitude 17.1°N and longitude 70.6°E is about 420 km west-northwest of Goa, 320 km south-southwest of Mumbai. Vayu was upgraded to a very severe cyclonic storm at 18:00 UTC, and continued to strengthen through 00:00 UTC on 12 June, at which point the system became a Category 2-equivalent tropical cyclone on the SSHWS. Image Indian authorities are warning a powerful cyclone that could cause widespread devastation is approaching the country’s northwestern coastline. Like us on Facebook and follow us on Twitter. If a named cyclone moves into the Australian region from another country's zone of responsibility, the name assigned by that other country will be retained. After the 64 names are used up, the eight countries submit new names. [9] A pedestrian was killed and two others were injured when an aluminium cladding sheet fell from Churchgate railway station. [11] The presence of the pulse also contributed to enhanced convective activity, and generated conditions which were supportive of tropical cyclogenesis.

With winds of 170 kph (100 mph), Tropical Cyclone Vayu could become the strongest cyclone to strike northwestern India in decades. [35] An approaching mid-latitude trough weakened the areas of high pressure centred to the west and northeast,[31] Vayu recurved sharply to the northeast. The coastal areas of neighbouring Maharashtra including Mumbai also experienced the winds a day ahead of the landfall. As a precaution, the local government in the Kutch district of northern Gujarat asked salt pan workers in coastal areas from Bhachau to Mundra to stay home from work. [12] On 9 June, the India Meteorological Department (IMD) noted the development of a low-pressure area over the southeastern Arabian Sea, to the north of the Maldives. [36] Upon weakening further to a cyclonic storm, strong low-level southwesterly flow caused the system to accelerate northeastwards through the break in the blocking high-pressure ridge, back towards the Gujarat coast. Plans were made to evacuate local residents at short notice if required. Parts of Gujarat state and Union Territory of Daman and Diu, which were expected to be hit by the storm, are still on high alert. Ever since, some of the cyclones named as per suggestions by India include Agni, Aakash, Bijli, Jal, Lehar and Vayu. [13] Organisation increased throughout the day, and owing to the improved structure of the system, the United States' Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC) issued a tropical cyclone formation alert at 22:30 UTC. [55] Numerous thatched houses were either damaged or destroyed by gusty winds, with many kutcha houses having their roofs torn off. So, in the last decade, there have only been two other systems of … Cyclone Ockhi in 2017, that hit Tamil Nadu and Kerala was given by Thailand In 2017. [14] At 00:00 UTC the following day, the IMD indicated that the low-pressure area had consolidated into a tropical depression, and assigned it the designation ARB 01.

Cyclones are named … The names are intended to reduce confusion in the event of concurrent storms in the same basin.Generally once storms produce sustained wind speeds of more than 33 knots (61 km/h; 38 mph), names … The name Vayu was chosen from this list containing 64 names. [3] Despite initially being forecast to make landfall in the state of Gujarat, Vayu turned abruptly to the west on 13 June and moved away from the coast. [40] Soon afterwards, the IMD issued their final advisory on the system after Vayu degenerated into a well-marked low-pressure area, just before crossing the Gujarat coast near the India–Pakistan border. In Veraval, about 20 small boats and five larger boats were also damaged. [64] Veraval also experienced heavy rainfall, with 67 mm (2.6 in) falling in just six hours. The countries involved are Bangladesh, India, Maldives, Myanmar, Oman, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Thailand. Vayu means wind in Hindi. Once the bottom of the column is reached, the … The name of a new tropical cyclone is usually selected from this list of names. The names are normally chosen in sequence, when the list is exhausted, we return to the start of the list. [22] One-minute sustained winds increased to 165 km/h (105 mph) six hours later as a ragged eye developed on visible-light satellite imagery, surrounded by strong deep convection, particularly in the western semicircle of the storm. [30] Despite the low wind shear and warm ocean, upper-level outflow from the storm had begun to diminish, allowing the dry air entrainment from the northwest to start eroding the cyclone. [1][10][52][53] Police officers also conducted night patrols to ensure that no residents were left behind in evacuated areas. As soon as the bottom of the column is reached, the sequence of the names then shifts to the top of the next column. [60] Fishermen complained that there had been inadequate room to safely anchor their boats during the cyclone, which was responsible for the damage. Cyclones of Vayu's strength are uncommon this far north in the Arabian Sea. [31][37] Strong vertical wind shear and dry air ingestion from the western semicircle of the storm's circulation continued to erode the cyclone, and Vayu weakened into a deep depression at 03:00 UTC on 17 June,[38] with the JTWC issuing their final advisory at this time. If a named cyclone moves into the Australian region from another country's zone of responsibility, the name assigned by that other country will be retained. Next, the cyclone name will be given by say Maldives and they have named one Hika. The India Meteorological Department says Cyclone Vayu, the season’s second major storm and named after the Hindi word for wind, has jogged west, skirting the coast of the western state of Gujarat and unlikely to hit it head on as previously forecast. Similarly, the names of cyclones that will get active in 2019 and 2020 have already been decided in advance. The anticlockwise rotation of the cyclone's wind field caused typical cool onshore winds to be replaced by hot winds from the desert to the north. The system weakened gradually as it tracked slowly towards the Arabian Peninsula, then weakened more quickly after beginning to accelerate back towards India on 16 June. [23] The intensification trend then slowed, however, with three-minute sustained winds only increasing further to 150 km/h (90 mph) by 12:00 UTC. The cyclone which is around 340 km south of Gujarat’s Veraval coast been named by India as “Vayu”. The name of a new tropical cyclone is usually selected from this list of names. About 2.91 lakh people living in and around 400 villages of Gujarat’s Kutch, Morbi, Jamnagar, Junagadh, Devbhoomi-Dwarka, Porbandar, Rajkot, Amreli, Bhavnagar and Gir-Somnath are being evacuated in a massive exercise by the state government along with the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) assisting the local administration in the process. The family of the deceased victim received ₹500,000 (US$7,000) as an ex gratia payment from the railway company. Steady strengthening continued into 11 June, and the storm underwent rapid intensification late in the day. Names are decided well in advance and as in when cyclone occurs, names are given to it. Tropical cyclones and subtropical cyclones are named by various warning centers to simplify communication between forecasters and the general public regarding forecasts, watches, and warnings. Some of the names suggested by India are Agni, Jali, Bijli, Akash, while Mala, Helen and Nilofar were suggested by Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and Pakistan respectively. The first eight columns have been used so far with Fani (submitted by Bangladesh) being the last one. [54], Despite not making landfall, Cyclone Vayu tracked close enough to the Indian coastline to produce minor impacts.

[58] Many low-lying coastal areas on the Saurashtra coast and southern Gujarat were flooded by waves and tides of up to 6 m (20 ft) in height,[56] and severe damage was caused to at least 15 houses in the city of Ullal. The waves caused minor flooding of low-lying areas in various towns along the coast, including Al Suwaih and Ras Al Hid. Many of the victims had been working on farms during heavy rain and thunderstorms when they were struck. And this is how this cyclone is named Vayu. Vayu was the third tropical depression, third cyclonic storm and second very severe cyclonic storm of the 2019 North Indian Ocean cyclone season, and the first of which to form in the Arabian Sea. The Met department said the deep depression in the east Arabian Sea having moved north/northwest-ward intensified into tropical cyclone Vayu and lay … When these storms will pass on, the new name will be given again in a meeting. Vayu means wind in Hindi. These countries name cyclones one by one, which are discussed in the meeting of all countries and then later finalised. Fishermen were warned not to venture into the Arabian Sea near the developing system or in the forecast path of the cyclone, and mariners already at sea were urged to return to the coast. The India Meteorological Department says Cyclone Vayu, the season's second major storm and named after the Hindi word for wind, has jogged west, skirting the coast of the western state of Gujarat and unlikely to hit it head on as previously forecast. [5][6][7][8][9], The name Vayu was provided by India, and is derived from a Sanskrit and Hindi word meaning 'wind'. [76][77] One elderly resident in Karachi died of heat stroke on 15 June, and numerous other people were treated in hospitals and medical clinics for symptoms such as dehydration, dizziness and exhaustion. [10][50], Approximately 2,300 personnel in 52 teams from the National Disaster Response Force were deployed to Gujarat help local authorities with evacuation efforts, as well as to aid in search, rescue and relief operations after the cyclone. The system degenerated into a well-marked low-pressure area late on 17 June, just before crossing the Gujarat coast. It formed on June 10, 2019 and dissipated on June 17. [8][63], Moderate to heavy rainfall occurred in more than 100 tehsils across Gujarat. [24] Vayu's intensity soon plateaued as ocean heat content began to decrease and drier air began to infiltrate the cyclone's circulation. Boats and aircraft were sent to various locations across Gujarat to enable and assist search and rescue operations if required.
