South West monsoon. ENSO interacts with the variability and intensity of IOD on an interannual timescale, with positive phases of IOD correlating with warmer seasonal temperatures and above average precipitation (Wang et al., 2016). Tropical cyclones also impact countries surrounding the Bay

areas, the strongest of which are known as monsoon depressions. The depressions usually originate over the north of the Bay of Bengal from June to September, then propagate westnorthwestward along the axis of the monsoon trough to the Indian subcontinent, lasting 3 to 5 days on average (Godbole, 1977
