Criecket lovers may be upset with the Mumbai Cyclone and India vs Australia ODI match was cancelled . But, This Cyclone helped me to know about some interesting things about the orgins of names that were given to the cyclones worldwide. one of my friends sent this mail about the Cyclone names. Very interesting. Cyclone Phyan helped in this way to know about the names. Prior to Aila, which means dolphin, suggested by the Maldives, there was ‘Bijli’ of India. Before that, there was ‘Nisha’ from Bangladesh. Aila had hit India before this year’s monsoon season. The one after Aila will be Myanmar’s Phyan (now threatening west coast), followed by Oman’s Ward. Then will come Laila, proposed by Pakistan. Sri Lanka’s ‘Bandu’ and Thailand’s ‘Phet’ will follow Laila. The practice of naming tropical cyclones began years ago to identify storms and warn against them. Till the mid-1990s, since storms were named arbitrarily, they were feminine. Later, meteorologists — for the sake of discipline, maybe — started following the alphabetical order. Now, the name of the first storm of the year — even if feminine — starts with ‘A’. For the past several years, a panel comprising the World Meteorological Organisation, Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific and the Panel on Tropical Cyclones has been maintaining a long list of names for cyclones.
Any way is it Phyan or Fayan?
