After the system was last noted on May 11, a land depression was monitored over Bangladesh during May 15, while four other systems including the remnant depression of Typhoon Becky were monitored by the IMD during the monsoon season. After the monsoon had withdrawn from India, two deep depressions and a depression were monitored as they impacted the Bay of Bengal, India and Bangladesh, while a depression was monitored over the Arabian Sea. The second and final Cyclonic Storm of the year developed over the Bay of Bengal and affected Bangladesh and Myanmar (Burma) during December. The Andhra Pradesh cyclone of May caused considerable damage to properties and was responsible for 967 deaths.Report on Cyclonic Disturbances (Depressions and Tropical Cyclones) over North Indian Ocean in 1990 January 31, 2015 3–18 9.

The other cyclonic storm of the year caused some damage to properties and deaths in Bangladesh and Myanmar, while the ten depressions all brought rain to the region with two causing over 200 deaths each. During the year a strong south-west monsoon was observed, which produced heavy rain and lead to flooding in India, Bangladesh and Myanmar.Earthweek – A Diary of the planet for the week ending August 17, 1990 August 19, 1990 The Toronto Star Newmann, SteveEarthweek – A Diary of the planet for the week ending August 31, 1990 September 2, 1990 The Toronto Star Newmann, Steve Systems Super Cyclonic Storm BOB 01/02B 1990 Andhra Pradesh cyclone NIO BOB 01 May 8 1990 0802Z.png BOB01 1990 path.png May 4 May 10 127 125 920 On May 4, the IMD reported that a tropical depression had developed over the Bay of Bengal, about 600 km mi 5 on to the southeast of Chennai, India. During that day the system gradually developed further as it moved westwards under the influence of the subtropical ridge of high pressure. The depression subsequently became a cyclonic storm early on May 5, before the JTWC initiated advisories on the system and designated it as Tropical Cyclone 02B later that day. The system subsequently started to move north-westwards because of a weakness in the subtropical ridge, as it continued to intensify and became a very severe cyclonic storm during May 6. Over the next couple of days the system rapidly intensified before the JTWC reported early on May 8, that the system had peaked with 1-minute sustained windspeeds of 230 km/h mph on 5, which made the system equivalent to a category 4 hurricane on the Saffir–Simpson hurricane wind scale. At around the same time the IMD reported that the cyclone had peaked as a Super Cyclonic Storm with 3-minute sustained wind speeds of 235 km/h mph on 5. The system subsequently started to weaken and had become a very severe cyclonic storm, by the time it made landfall in southern Andhra Pradesh during May 9. The system subsequently moved north-westwards and gradually weakened further, before it was last noted during May 11.http://www.rmcchennaieatlas.tn.nic.in/ Cyclone eAtlas – IMD Tracks of Cyclones and Depressions over North Indian Ocean (from 1891 onwards) 2014 India Meteorological Department January 25, 2015 Cyclone Warning & Research Centre, Regional Meteorological Centre ChennaiJuly 2021 InternetArchiveBot yes Massive evacuation efforts were placed for this cyclone, resulting in 150,000 people leaving the coastline. Strong flooding still caused 510 human fatalities, but the effect on agriculture was substantial. More than 100,000 animals were killed, and crop damage was estimated at $600 million (1990 USD). This was the worst Indian cyclone since 1977.

The system subsequently started to weaken later that day, as it encountered increasing upper-level wind shear associated with the mid-latitude westerlies. During the next day the system weakened into a Cyclonic Storm, before it degenerated into a depression. The system subsequently made landfall on Bangladesh near Cox's Bazar, before it was last noted over Myanmar by the JTWC during December 19. The system caused some deaths and damages in both Bangladesh and Myanmar. Other systems thumb|left|250px|Track summary of tropical depressions On April 17, an area of atmospheric convection developed within the Bay of Bengal to the east of Sri Lanka. During that day the system started to rapidly organise itself as it moved northwards, which prompted the JTWC to issue a Tropical Cyclone Formation Alert on the system. The JTWC subsequently initiated advisories on the system and assigned it the designation Tropical Cyclone 01B. Strong upper-level westerlies inhibited development of the depression and brought about the rapid dissipation of the system while it was located over water during April 18. A land depression was monitored over Bangladesh by the IMD during May 15. During the onset phase of the south-west monsoon on June 13, the IMD reported that a depression had developed had formed over the north-western Bay of Bengal.Report on Cyclonic Disturbances (Depressions and Tropical Cyclones) over North Indian Ocean in 1990 January 31, 2015 19–22 3.

On August 14, the IMD reported that a depression had developed out of a pre existing disturbance, that was embedded within the monsoon trough over the Bay of Bengal. Over the next day the system moved towards the northwest and made landfall on the coast of northern Andhra Pradesh and southern Odisha during August 15. The depression subsequently continued to move west-northwest as a land depression, before it dissipated over Madhya Pradesh during August 17. Early on August 20, the IMD reported that a Depression had developed over the northern Bay of Bengal and was embedded within a deep easterly flow of an anticyclone. The system subsequently moved north-westward and made landfall near Paradip on Odisha during the next day. After landfall the system continued to move north-westwards as a land depression, before it dissipated over Rajasthan during August 25. On September 1, the remnants of Typhoon Becky crossed the coast of Bangladesh, and moved into the Indian state of West Bengal as an area of low pressure. Over the next couple of days the system moved westwards, before the IMD reported that it had developed into a Depression during September 3. Over the next couple of days the system remained weak before it rapidly dissipated during September 5. During the withdrawal phase of the south-west monsoon on October 7, the IMD reported that a depression had developed over the northern Bay of Bengal. During that day the system moved north-westwards and made landfall on the coast of Odisha and West Bengal as a Deep Depression. The system subsequently came under the influence of a westerly trough of low pressure and recurved towards the northeast, before it dissipated over West Bengal during October 9. 370 deaths were recorded in Bangladesh in association with this system, while a storm surge affected Chittagong and caused extensive damage to two offshore islands.Earthweek – A Diary of the planet for the week ending October 12, 1990 October 14, 1990 The Toronto Star Newmann, Steve A search and rescue operation was launched after 350 boats and trawlers failed to return to port and 5000 fishermen failed to return to port after the system.
