Around 70% cyclones in the area from 1961-2020 were severe

West Bengal’s South 24 Parganas district, within which the larger share of the Sundarbans is located, is impacted by cyclones the most frequently among Indian districts, found a recent study.

The return period of cyclonic storms in the district was 1.67 years on a scale of 1.5 to 60 years, according to the analysis by India Meteorological Department (IMD), Pune. Shorter return periods indicate more frequent cyclones.

For severe storms, the return period was 2.61 years, the report Climate hazards and vulnerability atlas of India showed. 

In 2021, the Sunderbans saw two (Yaas and Jawad cyclones) out of the 10 cyclonic disturbances that swept the country. 

The researchers studied cyclonic storms passing within 50 nautical miles (about 90 kilometres) of the coastal districts from 1961-2020. Coastal districts of Kendrapara in Orissa, Nellore in Andhra Pradesh, Purba Medinipur in Bengal are also extremely vulnerable to cyclones, the team found.
