Abstract
Two cyclonic storms have occurred over the Indian region, the tracks of which appeared to be suggestive of the existence of very abnormal conditions in the general circulation of the currents of the atmosphere. The first storm appeared over the east of the Bay of Bengal, in about lat. 15° N., on May 20. The centre crossed the bay on a W.N.W. track during the 21st and 22nd, and appeared on the Orissa coast on the 23rd. Here it slowly recurved and followed a N., N.E., and E. course, finally passing away on May 29 or 30 into Assam and Manipur. The second storm appeared over the east of the bay, also in about lat. 15° N., on June 11, passed during the 12th, 13th, 14th, 15th, and 16th W.N. Westward across the bay, and to the centre of the Indian Peninsula. It there recurved, like its predecessor, through N. and N.E., and finally into E.
