Discover a detailed, data-driven look at the Calcutta Cyclone of October 5, 1864 and the storm’s far-reaching effects.
This government-commissioned volume presents a careful account of the meteorology surrounding the cyclone, its formation, and how the storm wave came to shape both weather patterns and life along the Bengal coast. The text combines maps, diagrams, and contemporary observations to illuminate a defining maritime event of the era.
The book foregrounds the meteorological record, the progression of the storm, and its aftermath. It discusses how observers collected data under difficult conditions, the role of ship logs and observatories, and how such data informed understanding of cyclones in the Bay of Bengal. Readers will find a clear narrative of the storm’s origin, its path across Bengal, and the dramatic destruction described in firsthand accounts.- Learn how the cyclone formed and moved, including the sequence of vortices and the winds feeding the storm
- See how meteorological data from ships, ports, and observatories were gathered and interpreted
- Explore the concept of the storm wave and its impact on coastlines and life
- Understand the human and infrastructural toll, with contemporary descriptions and assessments
