The successive cyclonic events have raised an important question whether the east coast is becoming increasingly vulnerable to back-to-back cyclones. It could be an unusual coincidence of atmospheric conditions too.

But, Formation of successive cyclones is nothing unusual during the months of October, November, and December.

In 2013, four very severe cyclonic storms – Phailin, Helen, Lehar, and Madi hit Andhra Pradesh. Helen, Lehar, and Madi occurred successively between November 19 and December 13.

There was no El Nino in 2013. Yet, the Bay of Bengal witnessed three to four successive cyclones in 2013.
