Comment on Death and devastation: why a rare equatorial cyclone and other storms have hit southern Asia so hard

The closest cyclone to the equator was the 2001 Tropical Storm Vamei which formed at just 1.4°N. Cyclone Senyar formed at 3.8°N.

The safe zone at the equator is narrow. If choosing to settle near the coast, there really isn’t much choice when it comes to latitude.
