Above: VIIRS infrared satellite image of Hurricane Maria moving just west of St. Croix while at Cat 5 strength at 2:13 am EDT Wednesday, September 20, 2017. [42] Cat 5 #3, Atlantic. [15][16][17] Two people were reported killed in Malda district of West Bengal.[18]. [43] Couple of accidental death also happened due to the rain. [45] But the storm encountered high wind shear and started to rapidly decay, leading to an exposed low level circulation center with limited convection and shallow banding wrapping into a broad circulation. On 18 September at 6.00 UTC, its centre was located 145 km from Barbados and 270 km from Dominica. The storm tracked towards the west-northwest around the southern periphery of a subtropical ridge located over India. Kolkata was badly affected by the dangerous weather receiving rain up to 124.4 mm (4.9 in). [31][32] The state lost around Rs 14000 crores (US$2.18 billion) due to the storm. Irma also made five other destructive landfalls: Little Inagua, Bahamas (160 mph, September 8), Camaguey Islands, Cuba (160 mph, September 8); Cudjoe Key, FL (130 mph, September 10); Marco Island, FL (115 mph, September 10); and Naples, FL (115 mph, September 10). The storm followed a north-northeasterly track parallel to Myanmar coast. [76], As a precursor low, the system produced heavy rainfall in Sri Lanka, killing at least 13 people and displacing another 200,000. [11] The system steered under the influence of a subtropical ridge. 00:31 Cyclone Dineo hits Inhambane, Mozambique 15th Feb 2017 • 360p. Tue, 26 Sep 2017 19:04:00 +0200. The system slowly drifted westwards in the Bay of Bengal, but failed to organize rapidly due to strong wind shear. Maritime ports of Chittagong, Cox's Bazar, Mongla and Payra had been advised in Bangladesh to hoist local cautionary signal number three. Irma effectively destroyed the island of Barbuda in the Leeward Islands, forcing all 1800 inhabitants to leave, making the island unpopulated for the first time in 300 years. Earth averaged 5.1 Category 5 storms per year between 1990 - 2017, according to ratings made by NOAA's National Hurricane Center and the U.S. Navy's Joint Typhoon Warning Center. The 2017 North Indian Ocean cyclone season was a below average season in the annual cycle of tropical cyclone formation. [11] UPDATE: in post-season re-analysis, Cyclone Ernie of April 2017, northwest of Australia, was re-analyzed to be a Category 5 storm, while Super Typhoon Noru was re-analyzed to have only become a Category 4 storm. The IMD subsequently gave the system the identifier BOB 06. 2 for Depression BOB 05", "Significant Tropical Weather Advisory for Indian Ocean on Depression BOB 05", "Depression in westcentral Bay of Bengal", "Odisha classifies heavy rain as State-specific disaster", "Depression over Bay causes heavy rain in Orissa", "Heavy rains in Odisha as depression forms in Bay", "Heavy rains lash orissa, causing death of cattle", "low causes heavy rain in Chennai, kills 12", "death toll from Chennai rains rises to 20", "low causing heavy rain in Chennai intensified into a depression", "Significant Tropical Weather Advisory for Tropical cyclone 03B warning #3/30 1800Z-27 1800Z November 2017", "Significant Tropical Weather Advisory for Tropical cyclone 03B Warning #10", "Significant Tropical Weather Advisory for Tropical cyclone 03B Warning #19", "Significant Tropical Weather Advisory for Tropical cyclone 03B Warning #23", "Will Sri Lanka turn to SMS storm warnings after 'night from hell'? Initially tracking northwards, the system soon recurved towards the northeast before weakening into an area of low pressure early on October 22, while located over northeastern Bangladesh, Meghalaya, and southern Assam. [25] Total losses were estimated at Rs 2187.2 million (US$34 million). [51] Mangroves have even expanded their distribution within warm temperate locations globally, facilitated by a prolonged post-Pleistocene recolonization period (Sherrod and McMillan, 1985; Woodroffe and Grindrod, 1991; Kennedy et al., 2016), accentuated by higher minimum winter temperat… Irma made landfall in Barbuda, Sint Maarten, and the British Virgin Islands on September 6 with 180 mph winds, putting it in a tie for the second strongest landfalling tropical cyclone ever recorded globally. of 60km/h, 90km/h and 120km/h according to the expected cyclone track released as of 7 September 2017 (09:00 UTC). [80][81], A low pressure area formed in the Malay Peninsula in early December. The other two Cat 5s of 2017 were both in the Atlantic: Hurricane Irma (180 mph peak winds) and Hurricane Maria (175 mph peak winds). Warm sea surface temperatures and a pole-ward channel helped the system to consolidate, and on December 6, the IMD initiated advisories on Depression BOB 08, while the JTWC to issued a TCFA on the system,[82] as it intensified to a deep depression. In the early hours of May 29, the IMD reported the storm to have reached Cyclonic storm intensity, naming it Mora. It ain't over 'til it's over, and this year's weather hasn't always been predictable. In the East Midnapore district, a key bridge linking the seaside tourist destinations of Shankarpur and Tajpur collapsed due to strong waves and a storm surge of 1.5 m (5 ft) from the Bay of Bengal as the storm passed through the area. The twin storm of Ockhi was a deep depression which originated in Bay of Bengal while its counterpart was in Arabian Sea. [66][67], On November 20, the remnant energy of Tropical Storm Kirogi led to the formation of a new low-pressure area over the Gulf of Thailand. He worked for the NOAA Hurricane Hunters from 1986-1990 as a flight meteorologist. [36] The Madden Julian Oscillation lay over phase 4 with amplitude 1 and these conditions helped in maintaining the intensity of the system and associated convection and thus the storm intensified further into a deep depression later on the same day. Tropical cyclone MARIA continued moving west-northwest, strengthening. At the time, Irma was at peak strength, a Category 5 storm with 180 mph winds. Adm; This season produced only three named storms, of which one only intensified into a very severe cyclonic storm. Figure 2. It mentions all of the season's storms and their names, duration, peak intensities (according to the IMD storm scale), damage, and death totals. The IMD began issuing advisories on the depression, which was very likely to cross the coast by night. This was the lowest total since 2012, and was well below the unusually high activity of 2014 - 2016, when eight or nine Category 5s appeared each year. Category 6 Sets Its Sights Over the Rainbow, Alexander von Humboldt: Scientist Extraordinaire, My Time with Weather Underground (and Some Favorite Posts). Of the 15 cyclones whose center directly affected Guadeloupe, there are 11 tropical storms, 1 category 2 hurricane, 2 major category 3 hurricanes and 1 major category 4 hurricane. Torrential rain fell, peaking at Jessore receiving 109 mm (4.3 in) in 24 hrs. At some places of Dhaka, Khulna, Barisal and Chittagong, moderate to heavy rainfall were witnessed from the remnants of the system. [37] An anticyclonic circulation lay over central India in the middle & upper tropospheric levels thus making the system move in a north-northwesterly direction. [8] Four people were reported to be killed in the Irrawady division of Myanmar. 3 as a result of the strong crosswinds and heavy rainfall. Heavy damage to homes were reported in Balasore and Bhadrak districts, with an infant reported to have died in the former district following the collapse of a wall. [41] Halisahar recorded 105 mm with strong gusty wind of 65 km/h. [47] Later that day, the IMD upgraded the system to Depression BOB 05 as the system developed formative banding surrounding a center of deep thunderstorm activity. [64] As a precursor low, the storm caused heavy rain in Tamil Nadu including Chennai,[65] and caused 20 confirmed fatalities. Strong winds along with incessant rains slowed down traffic, uprooted trees and collapsed buildings. International Hurricane / Cyclone / Typhoon Tracking Map. Cyclone : appel à la vigilance en Guadeloupe Le Point - Le 17 septembre 2017 à 18:34 Météo-France a placé la Guadeloupe, ainsi que Saint-Martin et Saint-Barthélemy, en vigilance jeune cyclone à l'approche de la tempête tropicale Maria Login/Register. [62] Kolkata recorded 53.7 mm rainfall, Digha recorded 60 mm rain while Halisahar recorded 58 mm rain and Diamond Harbour in coastal South 24 Parganas district recorded 50 mm rain as the system moved closer. 1 and 1 major hurricane of Cat. Climatologically, the formation of tropical cyclones in the Bay of Bengal at this time of the year is rare. [9][10] This season produced only three named storms, of which one only intensified into a very severe cyclonic storm. compteur gratuit. Under the influence of a persistent area of convection, a low-pressure area formed over the southeast Bay of Bengal on May 26. Hurricane Maria got its start as a tropical storm on September 16, a few hundred miles east of the northern Lesser Antilles Islands, and intensified a remarkable 70 mph in 18 hours as it approached the islands, hitting the island of Dominica as a Category 5 hurricane with 160 mph winds. Image credit: NASA. It was equivalent to a strong Category 3 hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson scale at peak intensity. A report on all cyclones that formed in 2017, with detailed season statistics and records that were achieved worldwide this year. This is a table of all storms in the 2017 North Indian Ocean cyclone season. [77] As a Deep Depression, the system lashed the coast of Tamil Nadu[78] and Kerala, damaging infrastructure, and taking the lives of 72 more people in Kerala[79] and 14 in Tamil Nadu. [27] Ranked as the third most costly tropical cyclone, Maria in 2017 impacted a number of countries, including Dominica, Dominican Republic, Guadeloupe (FRA), Haiti, Martinique (FRA), Puerto Rico, United States of America, Virgin Island (US), and Virgin Island (UK). [70] The IMD followed suite and upgraded the storm to a Deep Depression, and soon afterwards to Cyclonic Storm Ockhi. Dr. Jeff Masters co-founded Weather Underground in 1995 while working on his Ph.D. in air pollution meteorology at the University of Michigan. Up to 25 blocks of eight districts in the state had received rainfall exceeding 135 mm (5 in), with the Kanas block of the Puri district recording rainfall of 274 mm (10 in). [55][56], In Bangladesh, the ports of Chittagong, Cox's Bazar, Mongla and Payra raised Signal No. Paddy in acres of land was damaged in the rain at Badaopalasa, Bagedihi, Badepataka, Kendua, Olidihai, Burupalsa, Tupaghutu, Segeghutu, Jharadihui, Badakedam, Pokharia, Kuladiha, Rangamatia, Suruda, Anlajodi, Bahalda, Kanki, Basing and Gidighati. La saison cyclonique 2020 s'achève avec le plus grand nombre de temp... êtes (30) de ces 100 dernières années. Email president@sxmcyclone.com. [72] Soon afterwards, Ockhi intensified further into a Very Severe Cyclonic Storm. The following day, the system depicted flaring convection to the north of the low level circulation center. [4] Later on the same day, it further intensified into a Deep Depression, and then into Cyclonic Storm Maarutha. After landfall, the system weakened into a Deep Depression in early hours of 17th, into a Depression in the morning and well marked low pressure area over central Myanmar and neighbourhood in the forenoon of 17th.[6]. [19] Moving nearly north-northeastwards, it intensified into a deep depression over north Bay of Bengal in the night of 11th (1800 UTC)and peaked with estimated 3-minute sustained windspeeds of 55 km/h (35 mph). [58], On November 9, an area of low pressure formed in the Bay of Bengal, off the coast of Sri Lanka. The Weather Company’s primary journalistic mission is to report on breaking weather news, the environment and the importance of science to our lives. During the year, a total of 146 tropical cyclones had formed this year to date.
