If questions are arising in your mind that where did this name come from? What does it mean? And what is the scene of devastation at this time? So let us solve this entire puzzle in simple words.

Who brought this unique name ‘Ditvah’? (Who Named It?)

The process of naming cyclones is very interesting. 13 countries of the Indian Ocean region give names one by one. this time it was my turn Yemen of.

Yemen has named this storm as one of its most famous and beautiful places. “Detwah Lagoon” Named after. This lagoon of Yemen Socotra Archipelago Which is famous all over the world for its natural beauty and rare creatures. See the irony, the name was taken from a paradise of nature, but it became a storm and rained like hell.

Why did it become so deadly? (Why so Deadly?)

You might be wondering why such a dangerous storm in the month of December? According to meteorologists, the reason behind this 3 big reasons Are:

1. Warm Sea Temperatures: The temperature of Bay of Bengal was above normal (28-30 degrees Celsius). When the ocean warms, storms get ‘fuel’.
2. Moisture Feed: The amount of moisture in the air was very high, which made this system more powerful.
3. Low Wind Shear: The flow of air in the atmosphere was such that it helped the storm to rise and rotate in a circular motion.

All this together became a “Perfect Storm” which started causing destruction as soon as it hit the shores.

Mourning in Sri Lanka, shock in India (Current Situation & Death Toll)

This storm caused the most havoc Sri Lanka I have wreaked havoc. If reports are to be believed, the situation there is heart-wrenching. Due to floods and landslides More than 400 people have lost their lives (Death Toll) and hundreds are still missing. Many areas there are completely submerged in water.

Whereas, if we talk about India, Tamil Nadu, Puducherry and Andhra Pradesh Its effect has been visible in the coastal areas. Heavy rain has disrupted life in Chennai and surrounding areas. However, it is a matter of relief that the loss of life and property in India was not like that in Sri Lanka, because the administration had issued an alert in time and the preparations were solid. Now this system is gradually weakening and turning into ‘Deep Depression’, but the danger is not completely averted yet.
