A tropical storm that develops over South Pacific and Indian Ocean is called cyclone
When a low pressure hovers over warm waters, a cyclone is formed
Cyclones are named by the Regional Specialised Meteorological Centres (RSMC) and Tropical Cyclone Warning Centres (TCWC)
The United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and Pacific panel countries named a list of tropical cyclones over north Indian Ocean
India is a part of 13 countries panel to name cyclones
Each country submits a list of 13 names of cyclones and rotationally the cyclones are named over these names
