Cyclones are among the most destructive natural hazards, but unlike many sudden-onset disasters, they generally provide advance signals that allow for systematic forecasting and warning. Over the years, scientific understanding of atmospheric and oceanic processes, combined with technological advancements, has enabled the development of well-organized forecasting and warning systems for cyclones. These systems aim to predict the formation, movement, intensity, and potential impacts of cyclones so that timely preparedness and response measures can be taken to minimize loss of life and property. Cyclone forecasting begins with the monitoring of atmospheric and oceanic conditions over vast ocean areas where cyclones are likely to originate. Warm sea surface temperatures, low vertical wind shear, and atmospheric instability are key conditions for cyclone formation. Meteorological agencies continuously observe these parameters using satellites, ocean buoys, ships, weather radars,
