Summary
| Description |
English: This true-color image of Severe Cyclonic Storm Mandous was captured during the afternoon on 9 December 2022, at 1:40 PM (IST) (08:10 UTC), by the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) instrument flying aboard NASA's/NOAA's Suomi-NPP polar-orbiting satellite. Mandous was a fairly strong tropical cyclone and heavy rainmaker that originated from a tropical disturbance by the Andaman Islands during the 2022 North Indian Ocean cyclone season in early December 2022. When this was captured Mandous was over the Bay of Bengal, passing between Sri Lanka and Chennai near its peak intensity as a high-end tropical storm, with winds of 100 km/h (62 mph) (55 knots) on the 1-min Saffir-Simpson scale and winds of 95 km/h (59 mph) (50 knots) on the 3-min IMD cyclone scale making it a "Severe Cyclonic Storm" on that scale, also when this image was taken it had a minimum central pressure of at or around 991 mbar (29.3 inHg). |
