The '''1994 North Indian Ocean cyclone season''' was a below-average year in which eight [[tropical cyclone]]s affected seven countries bordering the North [[Indian Ocean]]. The [[India Meteorological Department]] tracks all tropical cyclones in the [[tropical cyclone basin|basin]], north of the [[equator]]. The first system developed on March&nbsp;21 in the [[Bay of Bengal]], the first March storm in the basin since 1938. The [[1994 Bangladesh cyclone|second storm]] was the most powerful cyclone of the season, attaining [[maximum sustained wind]]s of {{convert|215|km/h|mph|abbr=on|round=5}} in the northern Bay of Bengal. Making [[landfall]] near the border of [[Bangladesh]] and [[Myanmar]], the cyclone killed 350&nbsp;people and left US$125&nbsp;million in damage.

A storm in June originated over western India and crossed the northern [[Arabian Sea]], later striking Oman. In August, a deep depression moved across much of India into Pakistan. Another deep depression in October killed 38&nbsp;people in southeastern India. In late October, a storm crossed over [[Chennai]] in southern India, leaving US$115&nbsp;million in damage and 304&nbsp;deaths. There was a short-lived depression in November that struck southeastern India. The last storm of the season moved across the Arabian Sea and struck northeastern Somalia, resulting in the death of 30&nbsp;people.

During 1994, the [[India Meteorological Department]] <small>(IMD)</small> tracked 8&nbsp;depressions, less than the average of 15. This included six systems in the Bay of Bengal and two systems over the Arabian Sea. The first system formed on March&nbsp;21, becoming the first March depression in the Bay of Bengal since 1938. Of the eight depressions, six intensified into a deep depression, which has maximum sustained winds of 50–61&nbsp;km/h (32–38&nbsp;mph). Four deep depressions strengthened further into a cyclonic storm, which has sustained winds of at least {{convert|65|km/h|mph|abbr=on|round=5}}. Two storms during the season became a very severe cyclonic storm, which is the equivalent of hurricane status, with winds of at least {{convert|120|km/h|mph|abbr=on|round=5}}.<ref name="imd">{{cite report|author=Regional Specialised Meteorological Centre (RSMC) – Tropical Cyclones, New Delhi |publisher=India Meteorological Department |title=Report on Cyclonic Disturbances (Depressions and Tropical Cyclones) over North Indian Ocean in 1994 |archivedate=February 24, 2015 |pages=22–25 |chapter=2.

A depression formed in the Bay of Bengal on April&nbsp;29. It quickly organized over the next few days, as the storm moved around a ridge to its northeast. On May&nbsp;1, the IMD upgraded the storm to a very severe cyclonic storm, by which time a well-defined [[eye (cyclone)|eye]] was centered in the deepest [[convection (meteorology)|convection]], or thunderstorms. A day later, the cyclone reached peak winds of {{convert|215|km/h|mph|abbr=on|round=5}}, according to the IMD, and {{convert|230|km/h|mph|abbr=on|round=5}} according to the JTWC. At around 17:00&nbsp;UTC on May&nbsp;2, the cyclone made [[landfall]] in southeastern Bangladesh about 30&nbsp;km (18&nbsp;mi) north of [[Teknaf Upazila]]. The storm rapidly weakened over land while continuing northeastward into Myanmar. Both the IMD and the JTWC discontinued advisories on May&nbsp;3.<ref name="atcr"/><ref name="imd"/>

The storm closely followed the path, intensity, and time of year of a [[1991 Bangladesh cyclone|deadly cyclone in 1991]] that killed 138,000&nbsp;people.<ref name="atcr"/> Ahead of the 1994 storm, about 450,000&nbsp;people evacuated. In Bangladesh and neighboring Myanmar, the cyclone killed 285&nbsp;people and caused about $125&nbsp;million in damage. Damage was heaviest where the storm moved ashore, where almost every house was damage or destroyed, and 95% of trees were knocked down, blocking roads. The cyclone ultimately damaged or destroyed 69,973&nbsp;homes in Bangladesh, leaving about 500,000&nbsp;people homeless, including nearly 100,000&nbsp;[[Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh|Rohingya refugees]]. The storm struck near low tide, which limited the [[storm surge]] flooding that proved deadly three years prior.<ref name="undha">{{cite report|title=Bangladesh - Cyclone May 1994 UN DHA Information Reports 1-4|at=ReliefWeb|accessdate=May 20, 2019|date=May 1994|work=United Nations Department of Humanitarian Affairs|url= https://reliefweb.int/report/bangladesh/bangladesh-cyclone-may-1994-un-dha-information-reports-1-4}}</ref><ref>{{cite report|title=Bangladesh - Cyclone May 1994 UN DHA Information Reports 1-4|at=ReliefWeb|accessdate=May 20, 2019|date=May 1994|work=United Nations Department of Humanitarian Affairs|url= https://reliefweb.int/report/bangladesh/bangladesh-cyclone-may-1994-un-dha-information-reports-1-4}}</ref>

After the annual [[monsoon]] moved across India, a [[thermal low]] developed in early June over [[Maharashtra]] in west-central India. Steered by the flow of the monsoon, the low moved offshore and tracked generally west-northwestward, bringing heavy rainfall and gusty winds to the coast. [[Ratnagiri]], Maharashtra reported sustained winds of 74&nbsp;km/h (46&nbsp;mph). The IMD classified the low as a depression late on June&nbsp;5, and upgraded it further to a cyclonic storm the next day. On June&nbsp;7, the JTWC initiated advisories on the system, designating it Tropical Cyclone 03A and estimating peak winds of {{convert|85|km/h|mph|abbr=on|round=5}}. On the same day, the IMD upgraded the system to a severe cyclonic storm, estimating peak winds of {{convert|100|km/h|mph|abbr=on|round=5}}. The storm weakened as it continued across the northern Arabian Sea. By June&nbsp;9, the storm had weakened to a depression, and that day it passed near [[Masirah Island]] before moving over eastern [[Oman]]. The circulation dissipated soon after, but the remnants of the storm continued westward into Yemen. Along the Arabian Peninsula, the cyclone produced dust storms but little rainfall.<ref name="imd"/><ref name="atcr"/><ref>{{cite report|title=Back-to-Office Report|publisher=Food and Agriculture Organization|author=Keith Cressman|url=http://www.fao.org/tempref/AG/Reserved/btor/agp/agpp_omn9406.pdf}}</ref>

A low-pressure area formed over the western Bay of Bengal on October&nbsp;28. On the next day, the IMD classified it as a depression, and soon upgraded it to a deep depression. On October&nbsp;30, the IMD upgraded it further to a cyclonic storm and later a severe cyclonic storm, estimating peak 3–minute winds of {{convert|110|km/h|mph|abbr=on|round=5}}; this was based on the appearance of a well-defined eye. Also on October&nbsp;30, the JTWC initiated advisories on the system as Tropical Cyclone 04B north of Sri Lanka. The storm consisted of a consolidating area of thunderstorms, with spiral rainbands. Steered by a ridge to the north, the system moved west-northwestward toward the southeast coast of India. Early on October&nbsp;31, the storm made landfall in southeastern India near [[Chennai]] with winds of {{convert|110|km/h|mph|abbr=on|round=5}}, according to the IMD, and {{convert|85|km/h|mph|abbr=on|round=5}} according to the JTWC. Late on October&nbsp;31, the storm fell below depression status after weakening over land.<ref name="atcr"/><ref name="imd"/>

Ahead of the storm, local officials coordinated the storm preparations, and about 93,000&nbsp;people evacuated from low-lying areas. The storm moved ashore with a [[storm surge]] of {{convert|1|to|2|m|ft|abbr=on}}, inundating coastal areas {{convert|5|km|mi|abbr=on}} inland. In Chennai where the storm moved ashore, the eye crossed over the city, causing a period of calm; before the calm, wind gusts reached {{Convert|132|km/h|mph|abbr=on}}, and sustained winds reached {{convert|80|km/h|mph|abbr=on|round=5}}. In Chennai, the storm wrecked about 33,000&nbsp;huts and 12&nbsp;bridges. Across southeastern India, the storm dropped heavy rainfall, with a peak 24&nbsp;hour total of {{convert|360|mm|in|abbr=on}} recorded at [[Gudluru]], Andhra Pradesh. About 52,000&nbsp;houses in Andhra Pradesh were damaged. The combination of winds and rains damaged crops and roads while knocking down hundreds of trees. Train service and communications were disrupted. In Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu, the storm killed 304&nbsp;people, and left about ₹3.1&nbsp;billion (US$115&nbsp;million) in damage. After the storm, state and local governments provided food and medicine.<ref name="imd"/><ref>{{cite report|title=India Cyclone Nov 1994 UN DHA Information Reports 1 - 3|date=November 1994|at=ReliefWeb|publisher=United Nations Department of Humanitarian Affairs |url=https://reliefweb.int/report/india/india-cyclone-nov-1994-un-dha-information-reports-1-3|accessdate=July 23, 2019}}</ref>

The JTWC began monitoring an area of thunderstorms on November&nbsp;13 in the south-central Arabian Sea. A day later, the system organized into a low-pressure area, before developing into a depression on November&nbsp;15, as classified by the IMD. On the same day, the JTWC classified the system as Tropical Cyclone 05A. The system moved slowly at first before beginning a general westward motion, steered by a ridge to the north. Convection organized around the center, signaling intensification. On November&nbsp;16, the IMD upgraded the depression to a deep depression, and later cyclonic storm. The storm fluctuated in intensity until November&nbsp;18, when a more pronounced strengthening trend began. A day later, the IMD upgraded the storm to a very severe cyclonic storm, estimating 3&nbsp;minute winds of {{convert|120|km/h|mph|abbr=on|round=5}}, based on a [[Dvorak technique|Dvorak rating]] of 4.0. The JTWC meanwhile estimated peak 1&nbsp;minute winds of {{convert|110|km/h|mph|abbr=on|round=5}}. The storm weakened significantly as it approached the [[Horn of Africa]]. On November&nbsp;20, the storm made landfall in eastern [[Somalia]] near [[Eyl]]. The storm rapidly dissipated over land.<ref name="imd"/><ref name="atcr"/>

The storm's track into the Horn of Africa was unusual, bringing heavy rainfall to the region that swept away boats and homes. [[Bosaso]] in northern Somalia reported winds of {{convert|104|km/h|mph|abbr=on}}. The storm killed 30&nbsp;people in Somalia.<ref name="imd"/><ref>{{cite web|title=1994 Global Register of Major Flood Events|publisher=Dartmouth Flood Observatory|accessdate=July 23, 2019|url=https://www.dartmouth.edu/~floods/Archives/1994sum.htm|archive-date=February 23, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170223201433/http://www.dartmouth.edu/~floods/Archives/1994sum.htm|url-status=dead}}</ref>

On March&nbsp;20, a weak circulation was located northwest of Sumatra, associated with a persistent area thunderstorms. Fueled by [[inflow (meteorology)|inflow]] from the southern hemisphere, the system organized as it moved northwestward through the [[Andaman Islands]]. On March&nbsp;21, the IMD classified the system as a depression, the first to occur in the Bay of Bengal in March since 1938, and one of only four on record during the month. On the next day, the JTWC initiated advisories, classifying the depression as Tropical Cyclone 01B. On March&nbsp;23, the JTWC estimated peak 1&nbsp;minute winds of {{convert|75|km/h|mph|abbr=on|round=5}}. The IMD estimated that the system never intensified beyond 3&nbsp;minute winds of {{convert|45|km/h|mph|abbr=on|round=5}}. Strong wind shear prevented further development. Following an abrupt turn to the southwest, the depression weakened. The IMD downgraded the depression to a low on March&nbsp;24, and the following day, the JTWC discontinued advisories.<ref name="atcr"/><ref name="imd"/><ref>{{cite journal|page=2|author=Darwin Regional Specialised Meteorological Centre|publisher=Bureau of Meteorology|volume=13|number=3|date=March 1994|title=Darwin Tropical Diagnostic Statement|accessdate=May 20, 2019|url=http://www.bom.gov.au/climate/ntregion/statements/tropical/dtds-199403.pdf}}</ref>

An area of curved thunderstorms developed into a depression in the northwest Bay of Bengal at 03:00&nbsp;UTC on August&nbsp;17. The system intensified into a deep depression by the end of the day, reaching peak winds of {{convert|65|km/h|mph|abbr=on|round=5}}. It moved inland on August&nbsp;18 near [[Chandabali]], Odisha, and weakened as it continued northwestward through India. On August&nbsp;21, the depression was last noted over southern Pakistan.<ref name="imd"/>

A low pressure in the western Bay of Bengal organized into a depression on October&nbsp;4. On the next day, the IMD upgraded the system to a deep depression, estimating peak winds of {{convert|55|km/h|mph|abbr=on|round=5}}. The system developed spiral rainbands and an [[eye (cyclone)|eye feature]]. Late on October&nbsp;5, the deep depression moved ashore southeastern India near [[Machilipatnam]], [[Andhra Pradesh]]. Nearby [[Gannavaram]] reported gusts of 74&nbsp;km/h (46&nbsp;mph). The system weakened while progressing inland, bringing heavy rainfall along its path. Storm-related flooding in southern Andhra Pradesh damaged crops and houses. The system weakened below depression status on October&nbsp;7, and dissipated over northeastern India three days later. Across its path, the deep depression killed 38&nbsp;people due to floods.<ref name="imd"/>

A low-pressure area developed into a depression on November&nbsp;4 in the western Bay of Bengal near the southeastern Indian coast. Later that day, the system moved ashore [[Tamil Nadu]] near [[Karaikal]] with winds of {{convert|45|km/h|mph|abbr=on|round=5}}. By the next day, the depression weakened into a low-pressure area. The system dropped heavy rainfall along its path.<ref name="imd"/>
