About the cyclone mandous-

Name suggested by the United Arab Emirates.
Location- Southern Bay of Bengal on the coasts of Tamilnadu and Pudduchhery.
A low-pressure area formed over the south Andaman Sea and intensified into a well-marked low-pressure area.
Slow-moving cyclones often absorb a lot of moisture, carry humongous amounts of rainfall and gain strength in the form of wind speeds.
Data from the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasting (ECMWF) and the Global Forecasting System (GFS) of the United States showed that the system is moving quite slowly after its intensification into a cyclone.
