It one of the most active seasons for the time until the record was surpassed by 1975. It had no bounds, but cyclones tend to form between April and December, with peaks in May and November. The season has no official bounds but cyclones tend to form between April and December. 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 Cyclonic Storm One NIO 01-B 1964 track.png May 6 May 9 40 992 Cyclonic Storm One developed in the Bay of Bengal on May 6.

It slowly moved northwards, and consolidated into a depression by the morning of June 9. The next morning, while the storm was moving northwestwards, the India Meteorological Department upgraded it to a Cyclonic Storm. Over the following days the storm intensified further into a very severe cyclonic storm, recurved northeastwards and crossed the coast of Gujarat near Naliya at a peak intensity of 969 hPa inHg on 4. The system rapidly degenerated inland and dissipated into a low-pressure area on June 13. 27 deaths were reported due to the cyclone in India.India Weather Review India Meteorological Department National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration 1964 May 13, 2013 Annual Summary — Storms & Depressions: Severe cyclonic storm in the Arabian Sea http://docs.lib.noaa.gov/rescue/cd024_pdf/005ED275.pdf 3–8 Prolonged rains associated with the system triggered severe flooding in Pakistan that killed 450 people.

Spanning approximately 965 km (600 mi), the cyclone reached its peak intensity on December 21 as it approached Ceylon. Based on satellite imagery, it was estimated that the storm had peak winds of 240 km/h mph on 5, with gusts as high as 280 km/h mph on 5. This ranked the system as a modern-day super cyclonic storm.Global Facility for Disaster Reduction and Recovery September 2011 May 12, 2013 Cyclones, storm surges, floods, landslides 9 https://www.gfdrr.org/gfdrr/sites/gfdrr.org/files/1_Introduction.pdf dead https://web.archive.org/web/20120426055441/https://www.gfdrr.org/gfdrr/sites/gfdrr.org/files/1_Introduction.pdf April 26, 2012 Weakening somewhat, the system continued westward, moving over Tamil Nadu, before rapidly weakening. The system degenerated into a remnant low after emerging over the Arabian Sea on December 24 and dissipated two days later.
