'''Severe Cyclonic Storm Midhili'''{{efn|The name ''Midhili'' ([[Dhivehi language|Dhivehi]]: މިދިލި; [[Help:IPA/Maldivian|[mid̪ili]]]) was contributed by the [[Maldives]] and refers to the [[Terminalia catappa|tropical almond]] (''Terminalia catappa'') in [[Dhivehi language|Dhivehi]].<ref>{{cite news|url=https://odishabytes.com/cyclonic-storm-midhili-forms-over-bay-190km-off-odisha-coast-know-who-named-it-the-meaning/|title=Cyclonic Storm 'Midhili' Forms Over Bay, 190KM Off Odisha Coast; Know Who Named It & The Meaning|work=Odisha Bytes|date=17 November 2023|access-date=17 November 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231117041641/https://odishabytes.com/cyclonic-storm-midhili-forms-over-bay-190km-off-odisha-coast-know-who-named-it-the-meaning/|archive-date=17 November 2023|url-status=live}}</ref>}} was a [[tropical cyclone]] which impacted [[Bangladesh]] and [[Northeast India]] in mid-November 2023. The fifth [[tropical cyclone naming|named]] storm of the [[2023 North Indian Ocean cyclone season|annual North Indian Ocean cyclone season]], Midhili formed as a [[low-pressure area]] in the southeastern [[Bay of Bengal]] on 14 November. The system tracked west-northwest but turned northward on the next day. The system tracked north-northeast on 16 November and continued to gain strength. Early on 17 November, the system attained cyclonic storm statue and received the name Midhili. Midhili further strengthened to a severe cyclonic storm, just before making landfall in [[Patuakhali District]] of Bangladesh. The cyclone weakened immediately after landfall, and dissipated on the next day over [[Tripura]], India.

Warnings were issued to several ports of Bangladesh. Port operations were suspended, and vessels were shifted to safe locations. Flights and ship vessels' journeys were cancelled in advance of the cyclone, which led to hundreds of people being stranded. Midhili brought strong winds and heavy rains to Bangladesh and triggered flooding. Farmlands were inundated, resulting in massive crop damage. Over 160,000 farmers were affected by the cyclone. Electric wires were broken by fallen trees, which blocked the road, and interrupted train services and electricity supply. Many places in Bangladesh experienced power outages. Over 1,400 houses were damaged or destroyed. Midhili killed ten people and 25 others were missing in Bangladesh,<ref name="missing"/> while damage in brickfield industry reached $109 million (2023 [[United States dollar|USD]]). Its remnants moved into [[Tripura]], brought rainfalls and caused crop damage, but no fatalities were reported in the state.

On 14 November, the [[Indian Meteorological Department]] (IMD) noted a [[low-pressure area]] formed over the southeastern [[Bay of Bengal]], near the [[Andaman and Nicobar Islands]] and tracked west-northwest.<ref name="IMD Report">{{cite report|url=https://rsmcnewdelhi.imd.gov.in/download.php?path=uploads/report/26/26_1f8548_Cyclonic%20Storm%20Midhili-A%20Brief%20Report_10June2024.pdf|title=Severe Cyclonic Storm "MIDHILI" over the Bay of Bengal (15th-18th November, 2023): A Report|work=Indian Meteorological Department|department=Cyclone Warning Division|date=10 June 2024|access-date=11 June 2024}}</ref> Early on the next day, the IMD designated it as a depression.
