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

Additionally, the remnants of Typhoon Durian crossed the Malay Peninsula causing minor effects, but was a rare basin-crosser in this area.

[1] In addition to the storms monitored by the IMD, the JTWC also tracked the remnants of Typhoon Durian across the Malay Peninsula into the Andaman Sea as a tropical depression in early December.

All but one of these systems formed in the northern Bay of Bengal and struck Odisha before spreading rain across large portions of India.

The outlier was Severe Cyclonic Storm Mukda in late September which remained virtually stationary its entire existence to the southwest of Gujarat.

[6] Early on January 14, the IMD upgraded the system to a deep depression, estimating peak 3 minute winds of 55 km/h (35 mph).

[8] Subsequently, the circulation became disorganized and convection dwindled due to increased wind shear, although its outskirts brought light rainfall to southwest India.

Situated within a region of weak steering currents, the storm slowly intensified as it drifted in a general northward direction.

Early on April 28, the cyclone had estimated winds of 185 km/h (115 mph) and a barometric pressure of 954 mbar (hPa; 28.17 inHg).

[11] The greatest damage resulted from a thunderstorm near Yangon on April 28 that spawned a possible tornado in an industrial zone.

[13][14][15] In the wake of Mala, the Red Cross distributed relief aid to affected residents while local officials set up shelters to house those left homeless.

[17][18] In late June, an area of disturbed weather persisted over the northern Bay of Bengal, unusually far south for a monsoonal system for this time of year.

Convergence from the monsoon enhanced convection to the southwest of a developing low-pressure area; however, strong wind shear was expected to prevent tropical cyclogenesis.

However, the system rapidly organized into a deep depression by July 2, at which time it was situated 240 km (150 mi) south of Calcutta, India.

[19] Weak steering currents prompted the a slow, westward track and just three hours later, the cyclone made landfall between Paradeep and Chandabali in Odisha.

[21] A pressure of 982 mb (hPa; 29.00 inHg), the lowest in relation to the storm, was measured in Bhubaneswar as the deep depression moved through.

[21] Owing to the cyclone's monsoonal nature, it produced heavy rains across a large swath of India and encompassed both coastlines.

[22] In the nearby states, Andhra Pradesh, Jharkhand, Karnataka, a further 30 people were killed collectively from flooding and mudslides.

[26] The United States Naval Research Laboratory previously monitored the system as an area of interest before it moved inland near the border of India and Bangladesh.

Torrential downpours caused flooding that killed more than 170 people and left around 375,000 homeless in eastern India and Bangladesh.

[28] Tropical Cyclone 05B formed on September 28 approximately 250 nautical miles (460 km) south of Kolkata, India.

[29] On October 27, an area of convection formed west of Sri Lanka, spawning a circulation in the Palk Strait on the next day.

It quickly intensified while moving parallel to the coastline, becoming Cyclonic Storm Ogni later that day with peak 3 minute winds of 65 km/h (40 mph).

[31] The convection organized around the center,[30] and developed banding features, although Ogni weakened slightly to deep depression status on October 30.

[32] The storm dropped heavy rainfall in southeastern India, peaking at 770 mm (30 in) in Avanigadda, Andhra Pradesh.

[7] Thousands of residents rode out floods on the roofs of their houses[33] and 95,928 people had to evacuate to hundreds of emergency camps.

A circulation exited from land into the northern portion of the bay, and despite high wind shear it developed into a depression on August 2 just 100 km (65 mi) offshore Chandabali.

[7] On December 6, the JTWC tracked the remnants of Typhoon Durian across Thailand into the Andaman Sea as a tropical depression.
