Wow that's a scary set up. I'm showing my ignorance, but I didn't realize they got hurricanes over there.

Apparently their season peaks twice...

If you've followed tropical storms and hurricanes in the Atlantic Ocean over the years, you are probably familiar with the Atlantic hurricane season's single peak in activity that runs from August into early October. Those three months alone have accounted for 78 percent of the named storms over the course of a season since 1950. Several other ocean basins in the world, including the eastern Pacific and western Pacific, also have single peaks to their tropical cyclone seasons.


(Note: A tropical cyclone is what we refer to as a hurricane in the Atlantic Ocean.)

However, there is one spot in the world where the tropical cyclone season has two peaks. This location is the northern Indian Ocean, including the Bay of Bengal and Arabian Sea, which are separated by the Indian Peninsula. According to the National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the first peak runs from April to June and the second from late September into early December. In summer months between these peaks, there is very little tropical cyclone activity. The India Meteorological Department says that even when one does form in those months, they tend to be weak monsoon depressions that move inland quickly with heavy rain.

So, what is the reason for this dual peak in the tropical cyclone season in the northern Indian Ocean?
