Claim: Arabian Peninsula's tropical cyclones are spawned in the Arabian Sea and the Indian Ocean, which are being tracked by the India Meteorological Department and the American-based Joint Typhoon Warning Center.
Evidence: Most of the tropical cyclones originated in the Arabian Sea, the portion of the Indian Ocean north of the equator and west of India. Within the Indian Ocean north of the equator, tropical cyclones are tracked by the India Meteorological Department (IMD), which is the officially designated Regional Specialized Meteorological Center for the region. The American-based Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC) also tracks storms in the basin on an unofficial basis.
