Research paper sees direct link between Cyclone Tauktae and climate change

Study says Bay of Bengal is usually warmer than Arabian Sea and so hosts more tropical storms; However, that scenario is now changing

Scientists and meteorologists have attributed the growing number of cyclones including the latest one, Tauktae, to climate change more so because of the intensity with which they have now started hitting the Arabian Sea.

According to a paper by Climate Trends, a Delhi-based agency that works towards bringing awareness around climate change issues and low carbon development, cyclones are fueled by available heat in the water bodies and the conducive temperature for the intensification of the cyclone is 28°C and above.

The Bay of Bengal is usually warmer than Arabian Sea and therefore hosts more tropical storms.

However, the scenario
