While naming the storm (Cyclone Tauktae), it is kept in mind that the name should be short and understandable. Names are given to the storms so that the meteorological department does not have any confusion about it.
Myanmar has given the name Toute
Cyclone Tauktae Meaning: The first cyclone of the year ‘Toute’ is expected to cross Gujarat by May 18. The storm has come at a time when India is facing the corona virus epidemic. The Indian Meteorological Department’s Deputy Director General Jayant Sarkar has described it as a severe storm. The IMD has told on Sunday that the area of pressure above the Arabian Sea has now turned into a cyclonic storm ‘Toute’. It is expected to be faster in the coming 12 hours.
Rescue teams have been deployed in six states of Kerala, Karnataka, Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, Gujarat and Goa to deal with this disaster. However, along with the threat of the storm on the Internet, there is a lot of discussion about its name as well. People are speculating about it (Cyclone Tauktae Affected States). But in fact, the stray cyclone is called toute. Myanmar has named this name. Which is a Burmese language word. Which means more loud lizard. There is a whole process behind the name of cyclonic storms.
The panel includes 13 countries
The cyclones are named by warning centers around the world, which come under the World Meteorological Organization’s. The Tropical Cyclone Panel (PTC) of the WMO / United Nations Economic and Social Commission (ESCAP) has 13 countries (Cyclone Tauktae Alert). These countries include Pakistan, Maldives, Bangladesh, Myanmar, Oman, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Iran, Qatar, United Arab Emirates and Yemen. Last year, based on the name suggested by these 13 countries, a list of 169 names of cyclones was prepared.
#CycloneTauktae will hit Indian coasts soon. Do you know what it’s name means. ‘Tauktae’ (pronounced as Tau’Te), a name given by #Myanmar, means highly vocal lizard #GECKO.

These things are taken care of
While naming the name of the storm, it is kept in mind that the name should be short and understandable. Names are given to the storms so that the meteorological department does not have any confusion about it. The name of the storm helps in issuing warnings related to it, as well as can easily be told about the old cyclones in the future (Meaning of Tauktae Cyclone). Apart from this, if more than one storm comes on the same coast, then its information can also be given easily. The names of tropical cyclones are usually according to the rules at the regional level.
