Cyclone Arnab Named Under International Protocols as Storm Intensifies in Bay of Bengal
Cyclone Arnab, now a very severe cyclonic storm over the Bay of Bengal, is named following an international system managed by the World Meteorological Organization and regional meteorological agencies like the India Meteorological Department. Names are pre-approved by member countries and assigned sequentially when a storm reaches cyclonic strength, aiding clear communication and avoiding confusion during multiple simultaneous storms. The name 'Arnab,' meaning 'ocean' in Bengali, was proposed by Bangladesh and does not reflect the cyclone's intensity or landfall location.
