Deep Depression BOB 05 (2024)

Moving generally northwestward, the depression failed to intensify further, reaching maximum sustained winds of 55 km/h (35 mph) and a central pressure of 989 hPa (29.21 inHg).

Heavy rainfall from the storm led to severe flooding in southeastern Bangladesh, affecting over 50,000 people across 40 villages in Ukhia Upazila, with Haldia Palong and Jaliapalong areas being the most impacted, totaling 35,000 residents.

[6] As it was located in the westerlies of the southwest monsoon, on September 16, BOB 05 exhibited persistent deep convection driven by mid-level anticyclonic shear.

[8] The depression subsequently lost organization, degenerating into a well-marked low pressure area over Madhya Pradesh by 00:00 UTC on September 18.

[11] Eleven deaths were recorded and 100 missing fishermen in Noakhali District, 35,441 were relocated to camps, and 1.5 million people were trapped by floodwaters.

Two bodies were found at Ukhia's Inani Beach while three were recovered along the shores of Nazirartek, Pechar Dwip and Kolatoli Square.

[20] Due to the heavy rains , the Damodar Valley Corporation released more than 3.5 lakh cusec (9,911 cubic metres per second) of water from its dams, resulting in inundation of Birbhum, Bankura, Howrah, Hooghly, North and South 24 Parganas, Purba and Paschim Medinipur, and Paschim Bardhaman districts of West Bengal.
