The season began on April 2, when a depression designated as BOB 01 was formed in the north Andaman Sea and quickly made landfall in Myanmar.

The scope of this article is limited to the Indian Ocean in the Northern Hemisphere, east of the Horn of Africa and west of the Malay Peninsula.

It continued intensifying, and on May 17, Tauktae peaked as an extremely severe cyclonic storm before making landfall in Gujarat hours later, dissipating on May 19.

After a long gap of three and a half months, a depression formed in the Bay of Bengal on September 12, becoming the first system in the monsoon season.

A couple of days later, Depression BOB 05 formed in the Bay of Bengal but failed to further intensify due to high wind shear.

BOB 05 impacted portions of southern India with flooding, and some areas experienced cyclonic storm sustained winds.

In the month of December, a low pressure area entered into the Andaman Sea from the West Pacific Ocean and it intensified gradually into a cyclonic storm named as Jawad.

[22] The weakening trend although slower than usual due to the brown ocean effect mostly because of the influence of a western disturbance, which continued as it moved further inland until 14:00 UTC (19:30 IST) on May 19, when it was downgraded to a well-marked low pressure area over Eastern Rajasthan and adjoining west Madhya Pradesh, later dissipating.

[23][24] The combination of a western disturbance and the remnants of Cyclone Tauktae have also caused heavy rainfall in Northwestern India.

[50] As it moved further inland towards Nepal, IMD discontinuing advisories for Cyclone Yaas, as it became a well marked low pressure on 00:00 UTC (05:00 IST) of May 28.

Of them, two died in a tornado outbreak which struck West Bengal's Hooghly District and North 24 Paraganas, according to Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee.

Two individuals were killed as they were crushed by uprooted trees while in Jharkhand, two more people were found dead in a collapsed house on May 27. estimated the total damages in West Bengal from the system to be at ₹20 thousand crore (US$2.76 billion).

[61] Cyclone Yaas generated high waves and storm surge which crashed the coastal beaches of Digha and Mandarmoni.

[63] Minimal damage was reported, however high tides caused the Hooghly River to flood neighboring banks like Kalighat, Howrah and Chelta.

Conditions like low to moderate vertical wind shear, warm sea-surface temperature and strong pulse of Madden Julian Oscillation helped the system's intensification to a depression.

After crossing, it weakened into a depression over the border of Chhattisgarh and Odisha, at 03:00 UTC (08:30 IST) the next day, but it managed to maintain its intensity for the rest of its lifetime, because of the prevailing monsoonal conditions.

[69][68] It continued to move on its trajectory, until at 00:00 UTC of September 15, it further weakened into a well-marked low pressure area over northeastern Madhya Pradesh and its neighbourhood.

[71] A goods train which ran on the Angul – Talcher Road rail route derailed at around 02:30 IST (20:00 UTC) and fell over a river.

[73] On September 24, the JTWC noted a cyclone which was producing tropical storm-force winds located over the east-central Bay of Bengal, 211 nmi (391 km; 243 mi) south of Chittagong, Bangladesh, designating the system as 03B.

[83] As it continued westward, the cloud bands of Cyclone Gulab had touched the coastal regions of northern Andhra Pradesh and southern Odisha, which indicated that it had started its landfall process at about 18:00 IST (12:30 UTC) on September 26.

[88] It maintained its intensity as it travelled westwards until at 14:00 IST (08:30 UTC), when it weakened into a well-marked low pressure area over west Vidarbha.

The city of Vizianagaram was inundated with waterlogging because of improper underground drainage system and hundreds of trees and billboards were fallen in different places.

[103][104] At 21:00 UTC (02:30 IST), the JTWC upgraded it to a tropical storm, re-assigning it the designation 03B as the agency viewed Shaheen as a continuation of Cyclone Gulab.

[91][7] At 15:00 UTC (20:30 IST), the IMD further upgraded it to a severe cyclonic storm, as the clouds had become well-organized moving with a defined curved pattern.

[120] As the cyclone strengthened, it moved along the Iranian coast generating dust storms which affected the province of Sistan and Baluchestan.

Warm sea surface temperatures of 28–29 °C (82–84 °F), little dry air, and moderate wind shear allowed the system to further organize to a depression by 03:00 UTC on November 7.

Simultaneously, an increase in wind shear led to gradual weakening, eventually causing the system to degenerate into a well-marked low pressure area over the central Arabian Sea by 00:00 UTC on November 9.

[142] On November 12, a cyclonic circulation persisted over the Gulf of Thailand and the adjoining Malay Peninsula,[143] which on the next day became a low pressure area by the IMD and Invest 92B by the JTWC.

[152] On November 28, the JTWC and the JMA acknowledged a formation of an area of low pressure, which they dubbed as Invest 94W over the South China Sea, which was located 251 nmi (465 km; 289 mi) from Ho Chi Minh City.

[155] On December 2, at 00:00 UTC (05:30 IST), the system further intensified into a well-marked low-pressure area, as the department found that the storm's thunderstorms had been organizing over the past day, with a distinct shear pattern.
