These dates conventionally delimit the period of each year when most tropical cyclones form in the northern Indian Ocean. There are two main seas in the North Indian Ocean—the Bay of Bengal to the east of the Indian subcontinent and the Arabian Sea to the west of India. The official Regional Specialized Meteorological Centre in this basin is the India Meteorological Department (IMD), while the Joint Typhoon Warning Center releases unofficial advisories. An average of four to six storms form in the North Indian Ocean every season with peaks in May and November.http://www.imd.ernet.in/services/cyclone/tropical-cyclone.htm IMD Cyclone Warning Services: Tropical Cyclones India Meteorological Department May 10, 2013 https://web.archive.org/web/20081104064430/http://www.imd.ernet.in/services/cyclone/tropical-cyclone.htm 4 November 2008 dead Cyclones occurring between the meridians 45°E and 100°E are included in the season by the IMD.India Meteorological Department January 2009 May 10, 2013 Report on Cyclonic Disturbances Over the North Indian During 2008 http://www.imd.ernet.in/section/nhac/dynamic/rsmc.pdf dead https://web.archive.org/web/20090529004113/http://www.imd.ernet.in/services/cyclone/tropical-cyclone.htm May 29, 2009 Season summary Systems Depression One NIO 01-B 1961 track.png January 9 January 11 niodepression 30 1006 A depression developed on January 9.
