Part of the 2017 North Indian Ocean cyclone season
Cyclone Ockhi was the most intense tropical cyclone in the Arabian Sea since
Cyclone Megh in 2015. The third and strongest storm of the 2017 North Indian Ocean
cyclone season, Ockhi originated as a low pressure area in the Gulf of Thailand on
21 November.[1] Due to favourable conditions, it traversed the southern part of the
Bay of Bengal, transforming into a deep depression. As a deep depression, it caused
damages to property and life in Sri Lanka on 29 November.[2] Due to moisture and
warmer temperatures between Sri Lanka and Kanyakumari (Cape Comorin) in mainland
India, it intensified into a Cyclonic Storm on 30 November.[3]

While near Kanyakumari in mainland India, Cyclone Ockhi changed its path and headed
towards Lakshadweep in the Arabian Sea, gaining strength and transforming into a
super cyclone.[4] Although it headed away from the coast of mainland India, it
caused severe damages to structures and property and also claiming the lives of
atleast 47 people[5]in the Southern parts of Tamilnadu and Kerala in India.[6][7]
Ockhi made landfall in Lakshadweep on 2 December. The cyclone uprooted coconut
trees and caused extensive damages to houses, power lines and other infrastructure
in the islands.[8] Ockhi dissipated near the south coast of Gujarat in India on
December 6, due to prevailing conditions, even before entering the coast.[9]

Cyclone Ockhi is noted for its very unusual course, originating in the Gulf of
Thailand and ending near the coast of Gujarat in western India, travelling nearly
4000 nautical miles.[10] In its entire course, Cyclone Ockhi left a trail of
massive destruction in Sri Lanka, Lakshadweep, South India and Maldives as it
strengthened from a depression to a mature cyclone. Though it rapidly weakened in
its final stages over the Arabian sea, it caused heavy rains along the western
coast of India, particularly in Maharashtra and Gujarat. More than than 39
fatalities were caused by Ockhi in India, and it left hundreds of people, mainly
fishermen, missing.

Meteorological history[edit]

Map plotting the track and intensity of the storm, according to the SaffirSimpson
scale
On 20 November 2017, the remnant energy of Tropical Storm Kirogi led to the
formation of a new low-pressure area over the Gulf of Thailand.[11] Over the next
several days, the system moved into the Bay of Bengal and slowly drifted westwards,
but the storm was unable to organize significantly due to unfavorable conditions.
[11] On 29 November, the storm organized into depression just off the southeastern
coast of Sri Lanka, and the India Meteorological Department gave the storm the
identifier BOB 07.[12] Due to the storm's rapidly consolidating low level
circulation center, the Joint Typhoon Warning Center issued a Tropical Cyclone
Formation Alert on the system, shortly before classifying it as Tropical Cyclone
03B on 29 November.[13] The IMD followed suit, upgrading the storm to a Deep
Depression, and soon afterwards to Cyclonic Storm Ockhi. The storm tracked along
Sri Lanka's southwestern and western coastline, towards the west-northwest, around
the southern verge of a subtropical ridge located over India.[14] Owing to highly
favorable conditions, the storm displayed a thick convective ring, surrounding a
well-defined eye feature on the same day.[15] The storm tracked westwards and
intensified further into a Severe Cyclone Storm, early on 1 December.[16] Soon
afterwards, Ockhi intensified further into a Very Severe Cyclonic Storm.[17]

As Ockhi moved further into the Arabian Sea, it travel through an area of sea
surface temperatures of 31 C (89 F) and decreasing wind shear; a 23 mi (37 km)
eye became visible on satellite imagery, prompting the JTWC to upgrade it to a
Category 3-equivalent cyclone early on 2 December.[18] On 4 December, analysis
showed that Ockhi was maintaining a source aloft, but there was restricted outflow
on the western edge, due to a deepening trough advancing rapidly from the west.[19]
Increasing vertical wind shear along with a deep layered subtropical ridge to the
east steered it to north-northeast, and dry air intrusion from the west gradually
weakened the system.[20] On the following day, the storm quickly became
disorganized as it encountered increasingly unfavorable conditions, including high
wind shear. As Ockhi became embedded within a deep mid-latitude trough, the storm
rapidly underwent an extratropical transition.[21] Dry and cold air from the
subcontinent rapidly weakened the storm, and it was last noted as a well-marked
low-pressure area over the Gulf of Cambay on 6 December.[22]

Preparations[edit]
Sri Lanka[edit]
Despite international weather reports on 2627 November warning of a possible storm
condition over parts of the island, the Meteorology Department of Sri Lanka issued
no warning on the lead-up to the cyclone, dismissing in a statement on 28 November
reports of any possible adverse weather systems forming off the country's coast,
citing insufficient data to arrive at such a conclusion.[23] The Department instead
predicted rain of 75 mm (3.0 in) or more over various parts of the island over the
November 2830 period.[23]

Maldives[edit]
The Maldives Meteorological Centre predicted heavy rain and strong winds across the
country's atolls, particularly those in the north and center of the island chain,
over the day.[24][25] It issued a Yellow Alert warning on 30 November for the area
between Haa Alif Atoll and Kaafu Atoll between 10:30am and 03:30pm on 1 December,
later extending this to 08:00pm.[25][26]
India[edit]
Nearly 220 families were rehabilitated from the coastal areas of Kochi to escape
the fury of the rough sea following the passage of cyclone Ockhi as Chellanam bore
the brunt of a tidal wave attack. Nearly 100 houses, mainly in Puthenthodu and
Baazar areas, were inundated as schools were turned into rehabilitation camps. As
many as 180 families in Chellanam, 17 in Kannamaly and 18 in Edavanakadu were
shifted to rehabilitation centres and all essentials including medicine and food
were being made available at the camps.[27] The Government of Maharashtra announced
a holiday on December 5 for schools in the MMR and in some other selective
districts, for safety purposes.[28]As Cyclone Ockhi threatened the Gujarat coast on
Tuesday, more than 5,000 people were shifted to safer locations and National
Disaster Response Force (NDRF) teams deployed in vulnerable places. Fishermen were
warned not to put out to sea and those out fishing were called back. Schools and
college were closed.[29]

Impact[edit]
Sri Lanka[edit]

Many trees were uprooted due to strong winds in Colombo.


The system produced heavy rainfall and gale-force winds in Sri Lanka, initially
affecting the southern coastline, with Matara and the general Matara District in
particular experiencing wind speeds of 7080 km/h (4050 mph) and bearing the brunt
of the cyclone.[30][31] Falling trees and damage to power transmission lines
resulted in power outages in affected areas, with Matara, Galle and Ambalangoda
among the worst-affected.[31] Colombo and its suburbs, along with the southwestern
and western coastal regions too were affected, with many parts of the capital city
and its suburbs experiencing power outages and property damage; several roads were
obstructed by falling trees and power lines, including that leading to the Supreme
Court complex at Aluthkade.[31] Due to the poor visibility caused by rain and
attendant wind, BIA was prompted to divert two SriLankan Airlines flights to
Mattala early on 30 November.[32] The Meteorological Department issued a Red Alert
early on 30 November, with schools in the Western, Central, Southern and Uva
provinces given a holiday on the same day by order of the Ministry of Education,
postponing exams meant to be held on the day.[24][33]

On 1 December, several government agencies issued a series of warnings, with the


country's Disaster Management Center issuing a flood warning for areas along the
Nilwala, Gin and Kalu rivers, while the Irrigation Department reported Millakanda
(along the Kalu), Baddegama (on the Gin) and Panadugama (on the Nilwala) as areas
particularly prone to floods, with Baddegama and Panadugama already experiencing
minor localized flooding.[34] The National Building Research Organisation issued a
warning to the Kalutara District and its surroundings (with a focus on
Palindanuwara, Bulathsinhala, Ingiriya and Agalawatta) in particular, predicting
landslides and sinkhole formation.[34] The Department of Meteorology issued heavy
rain warnings for the Northern, North-Central, Uva, Southern, Western, Sabaragamuwa
and Central provinces, and an additional one to fishing communities warning of
rough seas and winds upto 70 km/h (40 mph).[34] On 2 December, police and
firefighters were formally joined by the Sri Lanka Navy- followed by the army and
air force- in search and rescue operations, with the aid of state agencies and the
Sri Lanka Red Cross.[35][36]

On 2 December, 2017, the cyclone moved away from Sri Lanka towards the western
coast of India.[37]

Maldives[edit]
Several seafaring vessels were capsized on 30 November[25]:

a cargo boat off Cinamon Dhonveli island in Kaafu Atoll (3 rescued),


a cargo boat off Taj Coral Reef in Kaafu Atoll 20195 (3 rescued),
a speedboat off Maaungoodhoo island in Shaviyani Atoll (13 rescued).
In all, 14 separate incidents were reported in the Maldivian seas as a result of
Ockhi's effects.[25]

As of 3 December, houses across 62 islands in the Maldives had been damaged by the
fringe effects of Ockhi; 36 islands had experienced rain-induced floods while a
further 4 had been inundated by storm tides.[25][38] The Maldives National Defence
Force was assigned to rescue and flood draining efforts predominantly on islands
where the local citizenry could not manage on their own; the police too provided
aid.[25][38]

India[edit]
Cyclone Ockhi crossed the sea near Kanyakumari, the southern tip of mainland India,
on November 30. Though it changed direction near Kanyakumari and headed towards the
Lakshadweep Islands in the Arabian Sea, it caused havoc and destruction in the
southernmost districts of Tamilnadu and Kerala, particularly Kanyakumari District
of Tamilnadu and Thiruvananthapuram District of Kerala.[39][40][41]

As a Deep Depression, the system lashed the coast of Tamil Nadu[42] and Kerala,
damaging infrastructure and taking the lives of 34 more people.[43] An estimated 14
people died in the cyclone with many others missing.[44] On 2 December, the cyclone
hit the Lakshadweep islands.[44] Several media have had informed about this
cyclone.

The Southern Railway announced partial cancellation of train services between


Nagercoil and Kanyakumari, Nagercoil and Thiruvananthapuram, and Nagercoil and
Tirunelveli due to heavy rain caused by Cyclone Ockhi.[45] Torrential overnight
rains accompanied by squally winds lashed the district, uprooting 550 trees and 950
electric poles disrupting normal life.[46] Many parts suffered power cuts even as
educational institutions remained closed in the districts of Tirunelveli,
Tuticorin, Viruthunagar and Thanjavur.[47] The Indian Navy and Coast Guard searched
for stranded fishermen in Coastal areas of Lakshadweep. More than 400 people were
rescued and evacuated, few cadavers were found.[48] Coastal areas of Ernakulam
District in Kerala were affected by the cyclone. Around 2,648 people were evacuated
to seven shelters over Kochi.[49] The cyclone claimed five lives in Kanyakumari
District of Tamil Nadu on 30 November, caused by falling trees.[50] The cyclone
went on to hit Lakshadweep islands on 2 December. The three major islands of
LakshadweepMinicoy, Kalpeni, and Kavarattisuffered major damages. Around 500
houses suffered damage, several coconut trees got uprooted and electric and
communication lines were disrupted due to the calamity in Minicoy island. An
estimated ?200 crore loss has been reported following the collapse of the
breakwatera barrier built out into the sea to protect a coast from the force of
waves at Kalpeni. A desalination plant at Kavaratti was damaged.[51] The cyclone
Ockhi then moved away from Lakshadweep towards the western coast of India on 4
December, bringing rare rainfall in December to Mumbai and other nearby areas.[52]
In Goa, beach shacks were hit by high tides caused by the cyclone Ockhi. Several
important beaches in the state were affected due to the sudden ingress of water,
which resulted in inundation of the shacks and soil erosion. Almost 50 shacks in
Morjim, Mandrem, Arambol and Querim beaches in Pernem taluka were damaged. In
Bardez taluka, only soil erosion at Anjuna and Baga beaches and damage to a
retaining wall at Coco beach in Nerul was reported.[53] Mumbai witnessed a delay of
more than 40% flights on December 4 and 5 due to low visibility at the airport in
the wake of cyclone Ockhi. According to data presented by Ixigo, 262 flights were
delayed from a total of 587 domestic flights and 118 of 357 international flights
were delayed at the Mumbai airport on Wednesday.[54] Unseasonal rain and inclement
weather in the wake of cyclone Ockhi had severely impacted grape farms in
Maharashtra. Nashik district received 125.5 mm of rain on due to the impact of
Ockhi.[55] Cyclone Ockhi dumped more than 80,000 kg or 80 tonnes of waste from the
ocean on the Mumbai beaches, reveal estimates released by the Brihanmumbai
Municipal Corporations (BMC) solid waste management (SWM) department.[56]

Aftermath[edit]
Sri Lanka[edit]
On 3 December, the government allocated Rs 170 million from the national insurance
trust fund for relief efforts targeting affected citizens, distributed among each
divisional secretariat affected.[57] Rs 10,000 was pledged as an initial allowance
for each family affected to a significant degree by Ockhi.[57][58] A parliamentary
debate held on the same day saw the government pledge to upgrade the country's
meteorological department with an automated network of rain gauges, and announce
state compensation for damaged housing and businesses, as well as for domestic
appliances damaged by the cyclone or resultant effects, and compensation for lives
lost.[58]

As of 4 December, 2017, the cyclone had caused 14 confirmed deaths, with a further
77 injured; the Disaster Management Center reported 123,217 people of 35,354
families in 16 districts as having been affected, with 5,650 individuals of 1,424
displaced families having been provided shelter at 65 emergency welfare centers.
[57] 823 houses were reported completely destroyed, with a further 32,347
sustaining damage to varying degrees.[57]

India[edit]
Rescue teams from Kerala and Tamil Nadu stepped up efforts on 2 December to trace
fishermen reported missing after Cyclone Ockhi, even as protests continued in
coastal areas over the tardy response of government agencies. Edappadi K.
Palaniswami encouraged Rajnath Singh to involve the Navy and Coast Guard in search
operations.[59] Hailing the efforts of the Navy,[60] Air Force and Coast Guard,
Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan said 400 fishermen stranded at sea had been
rescued. As many as 12 boats with 138 fishermen had reached Kalpeni in Lakshadweep
while four more boats had berthed at Androth, Kithan and Chatlet in Lakshadweep.
[61] Lakshadweep islands met devastation with massive coastal erosion, power
disruption, and extensive damage to property with life has been gouged out of the
islands because of drinking water shortage. The Indian Navy provided humanitarian
assistance and disaster relief to people affected by cyclone Ockhi in Lakshadweep.
Navy ships carried the relief material to the island of Minicoy on Sunday and the
Kavaratti and Kalpeni islands.[62] A total of four tonnes of disaster relief
material, including dry provisions like rice, dal, salt and potatoes, water,
blankets, raincoats, disposable clothes, mosquito nets and dhurries, had been
handed over to the local administration.[63] Dry provisions and ready to eat meals
are also being dispatched to Bitra Island by chopper from the Dweeprakshak (base)
at Kavaratti. The relief material would last seven days for about 2,000 people,
according to the government.[64] Tamil Nadu government December 6 told as many as
4,501 houses in cyclone Ockhi-hit Kanyakumari have suffered partial and full damage
and relief to the tune of ?41 lakh had been provided. A government release quoted
1,687 houses had been damaged completely while 2,814 houses had suffered partial
damage.[65] Government officials have said that 33,000 people in Kerala and 2,800
in Tamil Nadu have been affected by the cyclone so far. The Centre said 39 people
have lost their lives and another 167 were missing after Cyclone Ockhi engulfed
parts of Tamil Nadu and Kerala. Multiple rescue operations were being conducted
across Tamil Nadu, Kerala and Lakshadweep where authorities are also trying to
locate the missing people. Officials said that 74 fishermen are estimated to be
missing in Tamil Nadu and 93 in Kerala. Kerala chief minister Pinarayi Vijayan
declared a compensation of Rs 20 lakh to the families of those who died in the
aftermath of the cyclone and Rs 5 lakh to those who have been permanently disabled.
The chief minister declared that those engaged in fishing will get Rs 60 per day
and their children will be paid Rs 45 a day as allowance in the next one week along
with free ration will also be given to the residents of the affected coastal
villages for a month.[66] Due to huge losses from the cyclone, the Kerala
government decided to maintain a registry of its fishermen and install GPS and
other tracking systems as well as life-saving gadgets on their vessels to limit
damages in the wake of natural calamities. The state governments rescue and relief
efforts came under fire from the residents of coastal belt who staged protests,
alleging the response to the crisis was tardy.[67] Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister
Yogi Adityanath donated Rs five crores from the Chief Minister Distress Relief Fund
to Prime Minister's National Relief Fund (PMNRF) for the Cyclone Ockhi affected
people in Lakshadweep and other states. [68]

Environmental effects[edit]
Pollution and smog had been major problems in northern India, especially in Delhi.
[69]Along with this, private air monitoring networks, including some NGOs, reported
that the air quality in NCR had turned poisonous, leading to both the Delhi
government and Centre facing tough questions over how and why the failed to battle
a recurring problem.[70]The situation improved slightly in the weeks since Cyclone
Ockhi as the wind was blowing very easily from north to south with a speed of 4.5
m/s, which had resulted in dispersion of pollutants, leading to improvement in air
quality after long pause. [71] Moreover, Cyclone Ockhi had left a trail of
destruction not only on land but in the near-shore areas of the seabed and long
stretches of the shoreline along the coast of Thiruvananthapuram.[72] The intense
wave activity triggered by the storm has ravaged large areas of the underwater
ecosystem. Pictures recorded by Bond Ocean Safari, a Kovalam-based underwater
adventure sports group show extensive damage to the mussel beds that harbour the
rich marine biodiversity of the region.The damage was so severe that it could take
months for the ecosystem to rebuild itself[73] Fishers and citizen scientists also
felt that the cyclone could have aggravated the damage caused to the underwater
ecology by the dredging activities for the Vizhinjam international seaport project.
[74]

Controversy between the governments[edit]


Chief Minister of Kerala complained that Prime Minister Narendra Modi had a
negligent attitude towards states ruled by the Left.[75] The complaint was that in
the matter of Ockhi and the natural calamity that followed, the Centre had a
different attitude.[76] The Centre inquired with Tamil Nadu Chief Minister about
the situation but did not inquire about Kerala.[77] Members of the fishing
community blocked Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan's car when he visited
Vizhinjam, a fishing village near Thiruvananthapuram.[78] They claimed that the
state did not do enough to warn fishermen on November 29 when the cyclone was
still forming near Sri Lanka not to venture out into the sea. Officials in the
Kerala Disaster Management Authority attempted to shift blame to the India
Meteorological Department, which they say only issued a fishing advisory and not a
cyclone warning on November 29.[79] Sekhar Kuriakose, member secretary of the
Kerala Disaster Management Authority, issued a press statement on December 1
claiming that the Met department could not have issued a cyclone warning on
November 29 because the cyclone was still a deep depression till noon on November
30.[80] Several thousands of people belonging to fishermen's families in
Kanyakumari protested at the district's Kuzhithurai railway station on Thursday,
December 7, 2017, demanding prompt action in tracing the fishermen caught in sea
due to cyclone Ockhi. Members of nine fishing villages in Kanyakumari district
protested on the Kuzhiturai railway station tracks.[81] The protesters were
demanding that their villages to be merged with Kerala, and the government there
has done a lot in locating the missing fishermen.[82]
