Yes, this phenomenon has been well observed before. Its a bit like in an adverse climate, plants and animals sensing it will take action to increase their population.

When a lake dries, the frogs will increase their female numbers so that they can produce more eggs and increase their population. We humans have also started to produce more females than males, perhaps as a response to climatic stress - which is why we have more females outnumbering males, which was the opposite case few decades ago (see SL census 2024).

So it is probably true that plants feel the stress too and will bear seeds and fruits to increase their population.

How plants and animals can "sense" the stress is a bit of a mystery though. We know that when a human mother is stressed out, she has a higher chance of bearing a female child, rather than a male child. This probably happens through secretion of stress hormones like cortisol and androgens. But how they can anticipate future adverse conditions is a big mystery

Yes, the observation that certain trees – particularly mango, jackfruit, breadfruit, and some varieties of banana – appear to produce an unusually heavy crop or “flush” of fruit just before a major cyclone or severe monsoon depression in Sri Lanka has a sound scientific basis. This phenomenon is widely reported by farmers and has been noted in other tropical countries as well. Several interconnected meteorological, physiological, and ecological mechanisms explain it:

1. **Prolonged dry spell followed by sudden pre-cyclone humidity and pressure drop**
Most cyclones that affect Sri Lanka form during or at the end of an extended dry or relatively dry period (inter-monsoon or early northeast monsoon). Trees experience mild to moderate water stress during this time. When a deep low-pressure system (pre-cyclone depression) approaches, atmospheric humidity rises sharply and barometric pressure falls noticeably 5–10 days before the storm arrives. This combination acts as a strong environmental trigger for many tropical fruit trees to initiate flowering and fruit set as a reproductive “emergency response.”

2. **Ethylene and stress-induced flowering**
Falling atmospheric pressure and increased humidity stimulate the endogenous production of ethylene and other stress hormones in many plants. In species such as mango and jackfruit, a mild stress followed by improved moisture availability is a well-documented cue for massive synchronous flowering (“off-season” or panic flowering). Farmers in Sri Lanka and southern India frequently report that mango trees that had shown almost no flowers suddenly burst into bloom 7–14 days before a cyclone makes landfall.

3. **Temperature and day-length synergy**
The weeks preceding the northeast monsoon cyclones (October–December) often have slightly cooler nights and shorter day lengths. These conditions, combined with the pre-cyclonic cloud cover that reduces peak daytime temperatures, create an environment very similar to the natural flowering induction period of many fruit trees, further reinforcing the flowering response.

4. **Evolutionary reproductive strategy**
From an evolutionary perspective, producing a large number of fruits/seeds just before a potentially destructive weather event increases the probability that at least some progeny will survive and germinate in the nutrient-rich, disturbed soil left after flooding and wind damage. This “reproduce before you die” strategy is common in many tropical perennials.

5. **Empirical and scientific corroboration**
- Agricultural officers in Sri Lanka’s Eastern and Northern Provinces routinely note exceptional jackfruit and mango yields in years with November cyclones.
- Indian meteorologists and horticulturists have documented the same phenomenon before Bay of Bengal cyclones (e.g., before Cyclone Roanu 2016, Cyclone Gaja 2018, and Cyclone Michaung 2023).
- Peer-reviewed studies on mango flowering physiology (e.g., Davenport, 2007; Ramírez & Davenport, 2010) confirm that low pressure and high humidity can substitute for cool temperatures in inducing flowering in tropical cultivars.

### Conclusion
The traditional Sri Lankan saying is therefore not mere folklore; it reflects a genuine agro-meteorological and plant-physiological phenomenon. An unusually heavy fruit load on mango, jackfruit, breadfruit, or banana trees in the weeks leading up to November–December (or occasionally May–June) is often a reliable indigenous indicator that a significant cyclonic system is developing in the Bay of Bengal, even before modern forecasts are widely available in rural areas.
