Scientists have been observing unusual activity in the Arabian Sea over the last few months. The 3 Arabian Sea cyclones - Vayu, Hikaa, and Kyarr didn't make landfall in India and the western coast from Kerala to Gujarat witnessed heavy rains & strong winds. This is because of the transfer of excess heat energy via the Indonesian throughflow, which led to an increase in the Indian Ocean's sea surface temperature.
