Cyclones are a frequent threat to the northern coasts of the Indian Ocean, where tens of millions live, and according to scientists, the phenomenon tends to become more violent due to climate warming.

In this regard, Roxy Matthew Cole, a climatologist at the Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology, said that hurricanes derive their energy from warm waters, and the sea surface temperature has risen by 1.2 to 1.4 degrees Celsius compared to what it was four decades ago.

This is reflected in the flow of heat from the ocean into the atmosphere and the intensification of hurricanes.
