The &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;1999 North Indian Ocean cyclone season&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; was an extremely active and deadly tropical cyclone season in recent times. It was an event in the annual cycle of [[tropical cyclone]] formation. The North Indian Ocean cyclone season has no official bounds, but cyclones tend to form between April and December, with peaks in May and October-November. These dates conventionally delimit the period of each year when most tropical cyclones form in the northern Indian Ocean.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The scope of this article is limited to the Indian Ocean in the [[Northern Hemisphere]], east of the [[Horn of Africa]] and west of the [[Malay Peninsula]]. There are two main seas in the North Indian Ocean – the [[Arabian Sea]] to the west of the [[Indian subcontinent]], abbreviated &amp;#039;&amp;#039;ARB&amp;#039;&amp;#039; by the [[India Meteorological Department]] (IMD); and the [[Bay of Bengal]] to the east, abbreviated &amp;#039;&amp;#039;BOB&amp;#039;&amp;#039; by the IMD.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The official [[Regional Specialized Meteorological Centre]] in this basin is the [[India Meteorological Department]] (IMD), while the [[Joint Typhoon Warning Center]] releases unofficial advisories. The [[tropical cyclone scales|tropical cyclone scale]] for this basin is detailed on the right. On average, 4 to 6 storms form in this basin every season.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;IMD&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite web|title=IMD Cyclone Warning Services: Tropical Cyclones|url=http://www.imd.ernet.in/services/cyclone/tropical-cyclone.htm|archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20090529004113/http://www.imd.ernet.in/services/cyclone/tropical-cyclone.htm |archivedate = May 29, 2009|url-status=dead}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The season produced an above-average number of cyclonic storms but there was a very above-average number of intense cyclones. In May, a Category 3 cyclone struck Pakistan, leaving 6,400 people dead. In October, two very intense cyclones struck eastern India within two weeks of each other with [[1999 Odisha cyclone|the latter]] becoming the most intense Northern Indian Ocean cyclone on record, leaving over 10,000 people dead and causing more than $5.4 billion (1999 USD) in damages.&lt;br /&gt;

During the 1999 season, a total of ten tropical cyclones were observed. The [[India Meteorological Department]], the official [[Regional Specialized Meteorological Center]] of the North Indian Ocean basin, identified eight of them. The [[Joint Typhoon Warning Center]] unofficially tracked two additional cyclones, 03B and 31W, during the course of the season.&lt;br /&gt;

On January 30, an area of disturbed weather began to develop. Convection began to form around the center and a Tropical Cyclone Formation Alert was issued the next day by the JTWC. Development of the storm stalled and the alert was cancelled. The next day, another TCFA was issued but was once more cancelled. Finally, on February 2, after the third TCFA was issued, the low pressure area developed into a tropical storm at 0900Z 370 [[Nautical Mile|nm]] west of [[Phuket, Thailand]]. The storm slowly intensified and reached its peak of 45&amp;amp;nbsp;mph (1-min) on February 3. Shortly after peaking in intensity, vertical wind shear weakened the storm and the low became exposed by 1800Z the same day. The storm later dissipated on February 5 without making landfall.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web |url=http://www.usno.navy.mil/NOOC/nmfc-ph/RSS/jtwc/atcr/1999atcr.pdf |title=Archived copy |access-date=January 2, 2014 |archive-date=December 24, 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161224234637/http://www.usno.navy.mil/NOOC/nmfc-ph/RSS/jtwc/atcr/1999atcr.pdf |url-status=dead }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

An area of disturbed weather in the [[Arabian Sea]] was monitored in early May for possible development. Over the next two weeks, strong convection would develop before sunrise but dissipate by sunset. By May 16, the convection had become constant and a TCFA was issued at 0100Z. The low became a tropical storm by 0900Z. Tropical Storm 02A intensified as it moved to the northwest and reached cyclone status on May 17 at 0600Z. At that time, a mid-latitude trough weakened the subtropical ridge, allowing 02A to curve into [[Pakistan]]. 02A continued to intensify and by May 19, it had reached its peak of 125&amp;amp;nbsp;mph (205&amp;amp;nbsp;km/h), just below Category four status on the SSHS. 02A made landfall on May 20 near [[Karachi, Pakistan]] at peak intensity. The storm began to dissipate as it continued inland over the Indus River Valley on May 21 and completely dissipated the next day.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The cyclone struck the same area which had been hit hard by Tropical Cyclone 03A, a category three as well, almost exactly a year prior. It proved to be very deadly with 6,400&amp;amp;nbsp;people reported to be dead. Damages totaled to $6&amp;amp;nbsp;million (1999&amp;amp;nbsp;USD).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
02A was the strongest storm to ever form in the Arabian Sea until 2001, when cyclone 01A became the strongest storm to form in the Arabian Sea. It was itself surpassed in [[2007 North Indian Ocean cyclone season|2007]] when [[Cyclone Gonu]] became the first category five to form in the Arabian Sea.&lt;br /&gt;

On June 8, an area of low pressure formed 235&amp;amp;nbsp;nm south of [[Chittagong, Bangladesh]]. The low slowly developed over the next two days while drifting to the west and northwest. On June 10, a TCFA was issued at 0830Z and the first warning on Tropical Storm 03B was issued at 1500Z the same day. The storm made landfall as a minimal tropical storm to the west of [[Calcutta, India]] later that day. 03B rapidly weakened due to vertical wind shear and the interaction with land and dissipated on June 11. No fatalities or damages have been associated with 03B.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web |url=http://www.usno.navy.mil/NOOC/nmfc-ph/RSS/jtwc/atcr/1999atcr.pdf |title=Archived copy |access-date=January 2, 2014 |archive-date=December 24, 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161224234637/http://www.usno.navy.mil/NOOC/nmfc-ph/RSS/jtwc/atcr/1999atcr.pdf |url-status=dead }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

On October 15, a developing area of low pressure, located 220&amp;amp;nbsp;nm northwest of the [[Andaman Islands]] began to intensify. By 1730Z a TCFA was issued and the first advisory on Tropical Storm 04B was issued at 2100Z. 04B was moving to the west-northwest at 8–12&amp;amp;nbsp;knots as it continued to intensify. On October 17, the storm began to turn to a more northerly direction as it intensified to a cyclone. 04B underwent explosive intensification the same day and reached its peak of 140&amp;amp;nbsp;mph at 0000Z. The storm held this intensity as it made landfall on the Odisha coastline near Gopalpur beach. The storm began to weaken due to the interaction with land and dissipated on October 19.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
04B was responsible for 198 fatalities and hundreds of houses and huts in low-lying areas were destroyed by flooding.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite journal |date=February 2000 |title=Report on Cyclonic Disturbances Over North Indian Ocean During 1999 |url=http://www.rsmcnewdelhi.imd.gov.in/images/pdf/archive/rsmc/1999.pdf |journal=[[India Meteorological Department]] }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Several thousand others were injured by the storm and hundreds were left homeless.

On October 23, a Tropical Cyclone Formation Alert (TCFA) was issued by the JTWC for an area of low pressure in the [[South China Sea]]. The low did not develop further and the TCFA was cancelled. On October 25, the low crossed the Malay Peninsula. Later that day, the system reorganized and another TCFA was issued at 1930 UTC, with advisories for Tropical Cyclone 05B initiated early the next morning. The storm tracked to the northwest and continued to intensify quickly; peaking as a 160&amp;amp;nbsp;mph category five late on October 28. 11&amp;amp;nbsp;hours after peaking, 05B weakened slightly to 155&amp;amp;nbsp;mph and made landfall near the same area that 04B had only 11&amp;amp;nbsp;days prior. The storm slowly weakened as it stalled just onshore in [[Odisha]], [[India]] while dumping torrential rains. The storm reemerged into the Bay of Bengal on October 31 as a 45&amp;amp;nbsp;mph tropical storm. 05B slowly weakened as it drifted southward. 05B weakened to a tropical depression on October 31, before dissipating on November 4.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Damage from the cyclone was tremendous. Flooding from the storm&amp;#039;s rain was described as being the worst in 100&amp;amp;nbsp;years as well as the worst in India&amp;#039;s post-independence history. The storm claimed the lives of at least 9,887&amp;amp;nbsp;people&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite journal |date=February 2000 |title=Report on Cyclonic Disturbances Over North Indian Ocean During 1999 |url=http://www.rsmcnewdelhi.imd.gov.in/images/pdf/archive/rsmc/1999.pdf |journal=[[India Meteorological Department]] |pages=50–64}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; and 406,000 livestock.
