In the Sky
Seemingly unusual winds and weather this high season have affected the dive industry and the maritime enthusiasts, such as the recent events of damages during the King?s Cup Regatta from unanticipated high and westerly winds.
Khumar et al. (2008, 2010) studied weather patterns in the Bay of Bengal occurring over the previous century, and have been monitoring weather events of the past several decades. Their research findings are amazingly clear: less cyclonic weather activity (less cyclones annually); yet they are increasing in size, intensity, and destruction to life and property when the make landfall.
