Biparjoy storm effect can last for 10 days
Biparjoy storm arose 6 days ago from the Arabian Sea. Its effect can last up to 10 days. It is by far the longest-lived storm in recent times. According to a study by IIT Madras, cyclonic storms over the Arabian Sea are becoming more frequent and severe under the influence of global warming. The duration of cyclones in the Arabian Sea has increased by 80% in the last four decades, while the frequency of very severe cyclones has increased by 260%.
The longer a cyclonic storm remains over the ocean, the more energy and moisture it is likely to store. This increases the likelihood of a storm becoming more dangerous and causing damage after hitting land.
