Learn how cyclones are named.
People often wonder how the names of cyclones are determined. You’re currently reading about Senyar, but before that, different cyclones were named like ‘Bulbul’, ‘Lisa’, ‘Hudhud’, ‘Katrina’, and ‘Nivan’. After all, there’s a good reason behind these names.
Like children, cyclones are kept anonymous for a few days after their birth. Naming begins based on wind speed. When wind speeds reach 63kilometress per hour, they begin to rotate. It’s then called a tropical storm. When wind speeds reach 19 kilometres per hour, it’s also called a tropical hurricane.
