At around 17:00 UTC on May 2, the cyclone made landfall in southeastern Bangladesh about 30 km (18 mi) north of Teknaf Upazila.

[2][1] The storm closely followed the path, intensity, and time of year of a deadly cyclone in 1991 that killed 138,000 people.

The cyclone ultimately damaged or destroyed 69,973 homes in Bangladesh, leaving about 500,000 people homeless, including nearly 100,000 Rohingya refugees.

Steered by the flow of the monsoon, the low moved offshore and tracked generally west-northwestward, bringing heavy rainfall and gusty winds to the coast.

On June 7, the JTWC initiated advisories on the system, designating it Tropical Cyclone 03A and estimating peak winds of 85 km/h (55 mph).

Fueled by inflow from the southern hemisphere, the system organized as it moved northwestward through the Andaman Islands.

Late on October 5, the deep depression moved ashore southeastern India near Machilipatnam, Andhra Pradesh.
