The system of naming, of Atlantic cyclones (known as hurricanes or typhoons), is a fairly old practice, but giving names to cyclones that originate in the northern Indian Ocean and affect South Asian countries began only at the turn of this century. The system was formalised at a meeting of the World Meteorological Organisation (WMO) and the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP) in 2000, and the first cyclone was named in 2004.
Eight north Indian Ocean countries, namely, Bangladesh, India, the Maldives, Myanmar, Oman, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Thailand, were asked to contribute names so that a combined List could be compiled. Each country gave eight names and a combined list of 64 names was prepared. This list is currently in use, and all cyclones arising in the north Indian Ocean are named from this list, with one name from each country being used in turn. Almost 38 or 39 names from the list have been used up, but since many cyclones dissipate long before they hit land, their names rarely figure in the papers or other media. The names that people do know about and remember are those that were most destructive ones, or very recent. Aila, in 2009 is remembered with a shudder for the enormous destruction it caused in West Bengal and Bangladesh; Phaillin, also for the damage it caused when it hit the Odisha coast in 2013, Two harmless cyclones, which also might remain in people’s memory, are the more recent ones of 2014 — Hudhud. which threatened the cast coast of India and Nilofar, which was expected to, but did not, .devastate the western coast.
