Pre-1890 North Indian Ocean cyclone seasons

The North Indian tropical cyclone season has no bounds, but they tend to form between April and December, peaks in May and November.

These dates conventionally delimit the period of each year when most tropical cyclones form in the northern Indian Ocean.

Just before midnight on the night of 1 June the Diomed reported winds of hurricane force and a pressure of 984 millibars (29.1 inHg).

The ship Peshawar reported a westerly hurricane at the east end of the Gulf of Aden towards midnight on the night of 2 June.

On 3 June the German corvette Augusta, the French dispatch boat Renard, and the British ship SS Speke Hall were lost in the storm in the Gulf of Aden.

In November a cyclonic storm with hurricane-force winds struck Gujarat causing a ship SS Vaitarna to loss at sea, presumably sunk, killing more than 740 people.
