The 1994 North Indian Ocean cyclone season was the period in which tropical cyclones formed within the north Indian ocean. The season has no official bounds but cyclones tend to form within this basin between April and December. 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. Cyclones occurring between the meridans 45°E and 100°E are included in the season by the IMD.
Storms

Duration | March 18 – March 25 |

Peak intensity | 75 km/h (45 mph) (1-min); 994 hPa (mbar) |
On March 18, a disturbance became Tropical Depression 01B in the southeastern Bay of Bengal, just north of Sumatra. It tracked northwestward, becoming a tropical storm on the 22nd before turning southward and dissipating on the 25th.
Very Severe Cyclonic Storm BOB 01
Extremely severe cyclonic storm (IMD) | |
Category 4 tropical cyclone (SSHWS) | |
Duration | April 26 – May 2 |
---|---|
Peak intensity | 215 km/h (130 mph) (3-min); 940 hPa (mbar) |
A tropical depression formed in the southeastern Bay of Bengal on April 26. It followed a path and intensity very similar to the 1991 Bangladesh Cyclone, and became a tropical storm on the 29th. On the 30th it became a cyclone while turning north-northeastward, and on May 2 the cyclone reached a peak of 145 mph winds. It weakened to a 130 mph cyclone before hitting near the Bangladesh/Myanmar border later that day. Massive evacuation efforts and minor storm surge due to a low tide led to 285 casualties, a fraction of the similar 1991 cyclone that killed 138,000. It still caused flooding amounting to $125 million (1994 USD).

On June 5, a surface low organized into a tropical depression over western India. It moved to the west, becoming a tropical storm on the 7th and reached a peak of 50 mph later that day. The storm steadily weakened before dissipating over Oman on the 9th.
Severe Cyclonic Storm BOB 03

Peak intensity | 110 km/h (70 mph) (3-min); 988 hPa (mbar) |
A tropical disturbance developed into a tropical depression over the western Bay of Bengal on October 28. It headed slowly westward, reaching tropical storm strength and a peak of 50 mph before hitting India and dissipating on the 31st.
Very Severe Cyclonic Storm ARB 04
Very severe cyclonic storm (IMD) | |
Tropical storm (SSHWS) | |
Duration | November 13 – November 20 |
---|---|
Peak intensity | 120 km/h (75 mph) (3-min); 984 hPa (mbar) |
An area of convection consolidated into Tropical Depression 5A on November 13 in the Arabian Sea. After moving northwestward, it turned to the west-southwest, strengthening to a tropical storm on the 16th and reaching a peak of 65 mph winds before hitting Somalia and dissipating on the 20th.
There were 30 deaths in Somalia.[1]
