How does a storm form in the Bay of Bengal?
Sea surface temperatures in the Bay of Bengal are usually above 26.5°C (79.7°F), the threshold for cyclone formation. Warm waters provide the necessary heat and moisture to the atmosphere, creating a favorable environment for cyclonic activity. Cyclones often form from pre-existing weather disturbances, such as low pressure areas or tropical waves. These disturbances cause convergence of moist air at the surface, causing the air to rise and form clouds. There are many other reasons behind this.
