A Deep Depression is an intensified low-pressure area in tropical regions, stronger than a tropical depression but weaker than a cyclonic storm. It is characterized by sustained wind speeds between 34-47 knots (63-87 km/h).
They typically develop over warm ocean waters with favorable atmospheric conditions, particularly in basins like the Bay of Bengal and the Arabian Sea, often during the pre-monsoon and post-monsoon seasons.
Primary impacts include heavy to very heavy rainfall, strong winds capable of causing structural damage, rough seas, and a high potential for widespread flooding, coastal inundation, and landslides.
A Deep Depression has sustained wind speeds between 63-87 km/h. A Cyclonic Storm is more intense, featuring sustained wind speeds ranging from 88-117 km/h, indicating a higher level of organization and destructive potential.
