The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has clarified that there is no cyclone named "Shakti" forming, despite widespread panic on social media. The viral messages are false, and the IMD has not issued any cyclone warnings.

Cyclonic Circulation ≠ Cyclone The confusion appears to stem from a misunderstanding between "cyclonic circulation" and "cyclonic storm." The IMD explained that a cyclonic circulation refers to a localized weather pattern that might bring some clouds or light rain.

It is not the same as a cyclone and does not indicate a major storm.

The IMD has issued a statement saying, "There is no cyclone called Shakti brewing in the ocean." They want everyone to know that they are always keeping a close watch on the weather, especially in areas like the Arabian Sea and the Bay of Bengal where cyclones can form.

Because of some confusing messages going around online, many people thought a big storm was coming. The IMD is asking everyone to stay calm and not believe everything they see on the internet, especially when it comes to the weather.

To make sure people get the right information, the IMD has a special app called "Mausam" and a website where they share all the latest weather updates. They also use official channels to send out warnings and important news.

The IMD wants to remind everyone that understanding weather terms correctly is crucial to avoid unnecessary panic. For example, while "cyclonic circulation" might sound scary, it often just means some extra clouds or a bit of rain.

So, rest assured, there's no need to worry about Cyclone Shakti because it doesn't exist! Remember to always rely on official sources for accurate weather information.
