systems marked start unusually active period cyclones culminating years later cyclone killed people season depressions impacted india heavy rainfall collectively systems killed people storms severe cyclonic storm area low pressure identified roughly northwest moving northwestward gradually organized depression evening turning west system continued slowly sailed system encountering mph winds rough seas following days depression intensified cyclonic storm gale force winds extending center overnight hours sailed directly center cyclone reporting barometric pressure mbar hpa inhg waves vessels encountered storm ships reported hurricane force winds endured seas high early later day storm weakened rapidly crew able watch pressure actively rise continuing westward system degraded remnant low dissipating coast developing cyclone system brought monsoon like moisture ceylon present day sri_lanka southern india heaviest rains fell recorded india day deep depression upper level low pressure system developed northern following day surface low formed association feature low consolidated depression situated south india tracking northward intensified deep depression making landfall region near border early classified deep depression stronger winds mph reported based measurements nearby stations estimated system attained minimum pressure hpa inhg moved ashore inland system quickly weakened accelerated northeastward later dissipated system produced torrential rains eastern india rain fell day span areas recorded rainfall data available strong winds storm destroyed numerous homes seven people killed deep depression june trough associated upper level low extended northwestern bay following drop sea level pressure day depression formed area moving slowly westward storm intensified deep depression early july shortly system landfall near india accelerated northwest system later dissipated july absorbed trough developed widespread heavy rains accompanied depression portions coast far inland recorded rain span days received precipitation fell depression june slow moving trough developed july system developed shallow land depression situated north winds area measured mph system moved offshore winds quickly increased mph low pressures recorded area minimum mbar hpa inhg measured nearly stationary coast depression began interact approaching monsoon interaction caused winds increase vessels reporting mph winds late morning hours july later day system began moving northwest quickly weakened noted following day dissipating low northeastern july heavy rains amounting fell region rains triggered severe flooding killed people left homeless homes destroyed region depression august westward moving area low pressure identified burma initially upper level system gradually propagated surface depression august tracking west northwestward system crossed indian coastline later day near pressure mbar hpa inhg measured sustained winds reached mph onshore depression degenerated remnant low august remnants continued northwestward ultimately merging trough august depression dropped heavy rains parts india august august highest totals recorded august rain fell significant flooding took place result rains villages river near inundated deep depression previous depression dissipated india new circulation developed august system quickly depression moving slowly northwestward deep depression august making landfall region winds mph reported onshore turned westward slowed maintaining intensity system finally weakened august resumed moving northwestward days later dissipated southeastern large portions india affected rains depression receiving heaviest rains according prime minister rain fell portions tremendous precipitation triggered disastrous floods killed people continued rains weeks exacerbated situation august estimated million people homeless affected areas tributaries flood waters reached depth villages reportedly destroyed government officials described disaster worst living memory rail lines roads severely damaged state initial relief efforts total million acres crops flooded overall damage amounted million depression seven august wave low pressure formed burma moving westwards upper level system triggered development surface low days later turning northwestward low consolidated depression august making landfall region later day onshore depression degenerated remnant low remnants persisted august absorbed trough heavy rains affected highest daily precipitation total measured rains triggered severe flooding rivers large areas left submerged significant crop property damage took place people killed losses overall amounted million usd deep depression september area low pressure identified tracking northwestward system consolidated depression days later evening september strengthened deep depression winds mph early day landfall onshore system slowed turned northeastward later dissipated september interacted heavy rains accompanying depression affected areas recorded day span highest single day total severe cyclonic storm late september tropical storm developed striking vietnam storm

pressure time estimated mbar hpa inhg estimated storm attained minute sustained winds mph turning northeastward system landfall eye passing directly islands onshore system quickly weakened ultimately dissipated early october coastal areas storm wrought catastrophic damage tidal surge washed islands communications region crippled took days word scale damage reach officials entire villages reportedly wiped storm approximately homes destroyed bamboo mud schools damaged worst damage took place people killed roughly percent island structure destroyed forcing residents trees survival police officers survived able inform government officials disaster estimated people perished left homeless heavy rain accompanied storm cox reporting relief efforts wake storm hampered nation poor infrastructure debris left october members east pakistani military deployed hardest hit areas provide stable communication clean drinking water severe cyclonic storm october trough formed south extended southern bay october system consolidated depression moved northwestward steadily intensifying ships encountered storms increasing winds moved northward october attained gale force winds severe cyclonic storm early morning evening october recorded winds mph indicating system acquired core hurricane force winds maximum winds system unknown reports indicated winds peaked mph estimated storm peaked minute sustained winds mph pressure mbar hpa inhg storm soon landfall great intensity near weeks previous storm devastated country onshore cold dry air quickly wrapped cyclone hours landfall little rainfall reported near storm eye cyclone rapidly weakened dissipated following day striking powerful storm system produced storm tide moved inland devastating communities storm surge measured addition surge series tidal waves followed storm causing additional damage offshore waves estimated significantly decreased land surrounding communities regarded hardest hit submerged water city port largely destroyed vessel washed ashore found away port storm intense winds estimated high mph leveled buildings scattered debris large distances crops flattened storm instances burnt sheer
