    11 Stages of Cyclone Warning

    Uploaded by

    Ramesh
    The document outlines 11 stages of cyclone warning signals used in India to warn vessels and ports of impending cyclonic storms. The signals range from 1 to 11, with lower numbers indicating a developing threat far at sea and higher numbers signifying a severe cyclone that could cross the coast or port area. The India Meteorological Department sends cyclone warnings to ports multiple times per day, increasing to every three hours for a developing cyclone.

    11 STAGES

    OF CYCLONE
    WARNING
     India uses an elaborate signal system ranging
    from 1 to 11, which is hoisted at the ports to warn
    vessels of a possible cyclonic storm. The IMD
    sends information periodically to ports: usually
    four times a day, and once every three hours in
    case of a cyclone.
    Signal 1: 
     It implies a low pressure area is forming far at
    sea and surface wind could be upto 33 knots
    (about 60 kmph). This signal means the port is
    not affected but warns of slightly higher wind
    speed.
    Signal 2: 
     A depression has formed far at sea with surface
    winds upto 34-47 knots (about 60-90 kmph). This
    signal is a warning for ships leaving the port.
    Signal 3: 
     A depression has formed and could affect the
    port. Suface winds likely between 22-27 knots
    (40-50 kmph). The port likely to experience
    squalls.
    Signal 4: 
     A deep depression has formed at sea and is likely
    to affect the port later. The surface winds will be
    around 28-33 knots (approx. 50-60 kmph). A
    singal four indicates possible danger to ships
    stationed at the port. Signals 3 and 4 indicates
    bad weather at the port.
    Signal 5: 
     This signal means the deep depression has
    transformed into a cyclonic storm and is likely to
    cross coast keeping port to its left. Surface winds
    are likely 34-47 knots (about 60-80 kmph).
    Signal 6: 
     Similar to signal 5 but the cyclone is likely to
    cross coast keeping port to its right.
    Signal 7: 
     A signal 7 means the cyclone is likely to cross
    coast over or near the port. Signals 5, 6 and 7
    indicate danger to the port.
    Signal 8: 
     A 'very danger' warning, which means the
    cyclone is now a severe or very severe cyclone
    and is expected to move keeping the port to its
    left. Surface winds are likely between 48 and 63
    knots (approx. 90-120 kmph).
    Signal 9: 
     A 'very danger' warning, which means the
    cyclone is now a severe or very severe cyclone
    and is expected to move keeping the port to its
    right.
    Signal 10: 
     A 'very danger' warning, which means it is a very
    severe cyclone and is expected to cross over or
    near the port. Wind speed will be 64-119 knots
    (120-220 km/h) super cyclone - above 120 knots
    (over 220 kmph and more)
    Signal 11: 
     This means all communications have failed with
    cyclone warning office.
