Of the 11 past within 30 km, there are there were 9 tropical (or downgraded) storms, 1 Cat hurricane. The following day, the system depicted flaring convection to the north of the low level circulation center. [50] After landfall, the system remained near the coastline, allowing moisture incursion from the Bay of Bengal to prevent rapid weakening. It had maximum sustained wind speed of 150 km/h (category 1 hurricane). By the end of 2017, only about 15% of the population had returned. 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).

This is a table of all storms in the 2017 North Indian Ocean cyclone season. [73] On December 2, a 23 mi (37 km) eye formed, prompting the JTWC to upgrade it to a Category 3-equivalent cyclone. At the time, Irma was at peak strength, a Category 5 storm with 180 mph winds. On April 13, an area of low pressure formed in the South Bay of Bengal, under the influence of a persistent area of convection, in a span of six hours. The season officially had an early start compared with the last two seasons, with the formation of Cyclone Maarutha over the Bay of Bengal in mid-April. After landfall, the storm steadily weakened due to land interaction, before weakening into a well-marked low-pressure area over Nagaland on May 31.

Below is a "rogue's gallery" of all three Category 5 storms from 2017: Cat 5 #2, Atlantic. [11] At its peak intensity, it was equivalent to a marginal Category 1 hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson hurricane wind scale. This season produced only three named storms, of which one only intensified into a very severe cyclonic storm. 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. Compiled by Nathan Foy at Force Thirteen, December 2017, January 2018 E-mail: contact@force-13.com Cover photo: Himawari-8 Visible-RGB image of Cyclone Ernie at peak intensity on April 7, 2017 On average, three to four cyclonic storms form in this basin every season.[1][2]. 00:21 Cyclone Enawo hits Madagascar 8th Mar 2017 • 720p.

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. This would make Maria only the second hurricane since 1928, along with Katrina of 2005, to have caused at least 1000 deaths in the U.S. or its territories. Stronger-than-usual surface trade winds and unfavorable upper-level winds worked to keep 2017's typhoons weaker than usual, despite the presence of sea surface temperatures (SSTs) that were more than 1°C (1.8°F) warmer than average over much of the Northwest Pacific. westerlies lying over India in the middle and upper tropospheric levels. The cyclone produced severe flooding across Sri Lanka, India, Myanmar and Bangladesh and caused 15 deaths directly and 208 deaths indirectly. It has also been a record season in other ways, with the formation of Arlene on April 19; making it the first April storm to form since Tropical Storm Ana of 2003, followed by the intensifying in an area of cold sea surface temperatures and moderate wind-shear.
