Scientists warn that India's cyclone season is intensifying due to the rapidly warming Indian Ocean. Cyclones in recent years like Tauktae and Yaas caused widespread disruption and mass evacuations. Rising sea temperatures, particularly in the Arabian Sea, are leading to more frequent and severe cyclones.

Ongoing improvements in forecasting models and physical representations aim to enhance disaster preparedness in future.
