The National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) has expanded the number of teams from 53 to 100 in terms of preparation.

The name Cyclone Tauktae  (pronounced Tau’Te) is derived from a Burmese word that means “very loud lizard.” Myanmar, a neighboring country, named the  cyclone.

One of the World Meteorological Organization’s (WMO) warning centers throughout the world is in charge of formally naming cyclones.

India, Bangladesh, Myanmar, Pakistan, the  Maldives, Oman, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Iran, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and Yemen are all members of the WMO/United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP) Panel on Tropical Cyclones (PTC).

 

NAME OF CYCLONE!!!

Therefore, when it comes to naming cyclones, are there any rules?

While the name should ideally be simple and easy to remember, it must also avoid being inappropriate.
