Severe Cyclonic Storm Remal

Cyclone Remal

After four months of inactivity, on 21 May, the India Meteorological Department (IMD) began monitoring a cyclonic circulation in the Bay of Bengal. Later that day, the Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC) would also begin tracking the system, noting that it was likely to become a monsoon depression. The next day, the IMD noted that a low-pressure area had formed adjacent to the cyclonic circulation. Late on 23 May, the IMD upgraded the system into a well-marked low, stating that it was rapidly coalescing. The next day, the IMD stated that the depression formed in the Bay of Bengal, designating it as BOB 01. Subsequently, the JTWC issued a Tropical Cyclone Formation Alert (TCFA), noting the depression's broad circulation center and its improving rainbands. The next day, BOB 01 intensified into a deep depression. The JTWC would recognize the system as a cyclone, designating it as 01B. 

Soon after, the depression intensified into a cyclonic storm, causing the IMD to name it Remal. On 26 May, Remal intensified into a severe cyclonic storm with 3-minute sustained winds of 95 km/h (60 mph). Due to favourable conditions, including high sea surface temperatures over northern Bay of Bengal and low wind shear, Remal intensified further with wind speeds reaching 110 km/h. It made landfall over Bangladesh and adjoining West Bengal on the night of 26 May. Landfall process was completed by the morning of 27 May and it had weakened into a cyclonic storm.

Spring took a strange turn in Seoul on Saturday when the first mid-April snow since 1907 fell on the city, turning a day of cherry blossoms into one of icy roads. 
 
The weather turned sharply, as daytime temperatures above 20 degrees Celsius (68 degrees Fahrenheit) turned to cold, strong winds, hail and icy roads within hours starting Saturday night.

The temperature in Seoul dropped to 1.1 degrees Celsius on Sunday, with strong winds contributing to a wind chill of minus 2.4 degrees Celsius. 
 
Social media users posted photos and videos overnight of cherry blossoms covered in snow. 
 
“It feels strange to see cherry blossoms and snow at the same time,” one user wrote.

Songwol-dong of Jongno District, central Seoul, saw accumulated snow of up to 0.6 centimeters (0.24 inches) between Saturday night and Sunday morning, marking the second-largest snowfall recorded in April after the 2.3 centimeters logged on April 6, 1931. 
 
Suwon, Gyeonggi, also saw its first mid-April snow on Saturday since the city's weather observations began there in 1964.

Residents across a broad stretch of the Northeast woke up on Saturday to snow blanketing backyards and frosting trees, just as the pastel colors of Easter promised that spring was near.

An area stretching from around Albany, N.Y., to Maine experienced moderate snowfall, mostly from two to five inches, overnight Friday into Saturday morning
