Severe cyclones can be physically connected by a monsoonal trough.
Severe tropical cyclones frequently form and interact along the shared background state of an extended monsoonal trough, which provides the necessary dynamic and thermodynamic conditions for multiple cyclone events.
The claim is specific and empirical, dealing with meteorology and climatology. Papers [1] and [5] both provide evidence that tropical cyclones commonly occur along and are linked by the regional monsoon trough (multiple tropical cyclone events). Thus, the claim is well-supported by the retrieved literature.

The study observes multiple westward-propagating tropical cyclones spanning across the monsoon trough from the Indian subcontinent through the Bay of Bengal to the western North Pacific.

Research demonstrates that an enhanced monsoon trough creates favorable low-level relative vorticity, upward motion, and moist environments that facilitate multiple tropical cyclone (MTC) events.
