Hurricanes form in the Bay of Bengal from late March to June every year. These hurricanes often affect the southwest monsoon as well. If a hurricane comes before the monsoon sets in, it disrupts the southwest monsoon schedule. And often the southwest monsoon coincides with the onset of the southwest monsoon in other parts of the country.
It may be mentioned here that Hurricane Tau, which originated from the Arabian Sea, caused severe damage in Maharashtra and Gujarat. Tau te hurricane also struck near Una in Gir Somnath district of Saurashtra. Due to which, in Gir Somnath district, there was heavy loss of life and property.
