December 13, 2017 - Tropical Storm Four over the Indian Ocean, India, and Bangledesh
Tweet
A substantial area of the Northern Indian Ocean was recently covered with cloudiness and rain showers as a large tropical low pressure area moved over the warm waters of the Bay of Bengal. After being closely monitored for over a week, the tropical disturbance intensified briefly to tropical storm force in the northern Bay of Bengal. It was labeled Tropical Cyclone Four (04B) on December 9, 2017. The weak system produced moderate to heavy rainfall along northeastern India's Bay of Bengal coastline, moved over southern Bangladesh and dissipated over northwestern Burma.
The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) aboard NASA’s Terra satellite acquired a true-color image of Tropical Cyclone Four (04B) as it stretched over the Indian Ocean, India, and Bangladesh on December 9.
