Extremely Severe Cyclonic Storm Tej[a] (/'tɛd͡ʒ/) was a strong tropical cyclone that formed over the central-south Arabian Sea and made landfall on Yemen. It was the first cyclone to make landfall in the nation since Cyclone Luban of 2018.[2] The sixth depression and the third named cyclonic storm of the season,[3] Tej coexisted with Cyclone Hamoon in the Bay of Bengal, a rare phenomenon not seen since 2018.[4] The cyclone then took a northwestward track in the Arabian Sea and made landfall in Al Mahrah Governorate of Yemen between 23 and 24 October 2023, bringing significant rainfall and flooding across the eastern half of the country and western parts of Oman.[5][6][7][8][9]
