A brief explanation on how Cyclones are named which are controlled by the World Meteorological agency.  In the Indian Ocean,  there are 13 Countries and each Country has to suggest 13 names per Country for naming future cyclones. This list was compiled in 2020. Hence 13 Countries  X  by 13 = 169 names. Please see below the attached list of these 169 names. As can be seen, the present Cyclone is called Yaas suggested by Oman. After Yaas, the next Cyclone name will be Gulab as suggested by Pakistan.  This will go on till all 169 names are exhausted.  Our Grandchildren will live to see the end of the list???? Hope you find this information of cyclone naming interesting?
