The India Meteorological Department (IMD) dedicated the Cyclone Warning and Marine Weather Services Decision Support System (DSS), an interactive WebGIS-based platform, to the nation. The launch occurred during the bi-annual Pre-Cyclone Exercise Meeting for the post-monsoon season of 2026. The platform integrates critical cyclone and marine weather data—such as observed and forecast tracks, intensity, wind distribution, storm surge, and district-wise rainfall warnings—into a single user-friendly interface. Designed for disaster management authorities, government agencies, and the public, the DSS aims to improve disaster preparedness, facilitate timely action, and enhance public safety during severe weather events.
