Why cyclones are picking up on India's west coast

India Today  

The 1976 Arabian Sea cyclone made landfall in Saurashtra on June 3. Vineet Kumar Singh, another researcher at IITM, points out that it is for the first time after 1976 and only the second time since 1900 that a cyclone, which formed in May—pre-monsoon period—has hit the Gujarat coast with a wind speed greater than 65 kmph. With a wind speed of up to 165 kmph, the cyclone made landfall near Porbandar causing heavy rains all over Gujarat and southern Rajasthan, leading to destruction of crops and properties. A note by the India Meteorological Department says the cyclone Tauktae crossed the Gujarat coast as an extremely severe cyclonic storm around May 18 midnight and gradually weakened into a severe cyclonic storm before further weakening to a cyclonic storm. The Navy and Coast Guard have so far rescued 314 people on board two barges that went adrift in the Arabian Sea near Mumbai hours before the cyclone made landfall on the Gujarat coast.
