The cyclone developed out of an area of disturbed weather on December 25. It moved westward, and quickly strengthened under favorable conditions to reach peak winds of 75 mph (120 km/h). The cyclone hit eastern Sri Lanka at peak strength, and weakened slightly while crossing the island before hitting and dissipating over southern India on December 28.[3]

The storm was the first cyclone to hit Sri Lanka with winds of at least hurricane strength since a 110 mph (175 km/h) cyclone hit in 1978, as well as the first tropical storm to hit the island since 1992. The storm was also the first tropical cyclone of hurricane intensity in the Bay of Bengal in the month of December since 1996. During the passage of the cyclone, it produced heavy rainfall and strong winds, damaging or destroying tens of thousands of houses and leaving up to 500,000 homeless. 9 died as a result of the cyclone.[3]

While drifting northwestward on the 24th, Cyclone 01A became an intense cyclone with 125 mph winds over the open waters. Upper level shear weakened it to a tropical depression three days later. Moving northward, the storm briefly re-strengthened to a 65 mph storm before striking western India on the 28th and dissipating.

Cyclonic storm (IMD)
Tropical storm (SSHWS)
DurationFebruary 2 – February 5
Peak intensity65 km/h (40 mph) (3-min);
994 hPa (mbar)

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 nm west of Phuket, Thailand. The storm slowly intensified and reached its peak of 45mph (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 5th without making landfall.[8]

Peak intensity195 km/h (120 mph) (3-min);
933 hPa (mbar)

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 develope 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 125mph (205 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.

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. The cyclone proved to be very deadly with 700 people reported to be dead or missing. Damages totaled to $6 million (1999 USD).

02A was the strongest storm to ever form in the Arabian Sea on record until 2007 when Cyclone Gonu became the first category five to form in the Arabian Sea. [9]

On June 8, an area of low pressure formed 235 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. [10]

922 hPa (mbar)

On October 15, a developing area of low pressure, located 220 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 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 it's peak of 140mph at 0000Z. The storm held this intensity as it made landfall on the Orissa coastline. The storm began to weaken due to the interaction with land and dissipated on October 19.

04B was responsible for at least 80 fatalities and hundreds of houses and huts in low lying areas were destroyed by flooding.[11]

Main article: 1999 Orissa cyclone

On October 23, a TCFA was issued 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 low reorganized and another TCFA was issued at 1930Z. The low was upgraded to Tropical Storm 05B the next day ay 0300Z. The storm tracked to the northwest and continued to intensify quickly. 05B began to intensify faster than the climatological rate and peaked as a 160mph category five on October 28 at 1800Z. 11 hours after peaking, 05B weakened slightly to 155mph and made landfall near the same area that 04B did only 11 days earlier. The storm slowly weakened as it stalled just onshore in Orissa, India while dumping torrential rains. The storm reentered the Bay of Bengal on October 31 as a 45mph tropical storm. 05B slowly weakened as it drifted southward. 05B weakened to a tropical depression on November 2 and dissipated the next day.

Damage from the cyclone was tremendous. Flooding from the storms rain was described as the worst in 100 years as well as the worst in India's history. The storm claimed the lives of at least 10,000 people and 406,000 livestock. Damages from the storm totaled to $4.5 billion (1999 USD).[12]

On November 2 a tropical depression developed into a tropical depression over Sri Lanka. It drifted southward, northward, then westward over India. On the 10th, it was upgraded to a tropical storm over the Arabian Sea, and it reached its peak of 65 mph (105 km/h) winds the next day.

A broad trough of low pressure formed into a tropical depression on November 4 in the central Arabian Sea. It moved westward, slowly intensifying into a tropical storm on the 8th. Vertical shear weakened it to a depression later that day, but on the 9th, just before making landfall on eastern Somalia, it restrengthened to a tropical storm. Tropical Storm Three dissipated on the 10th without causing any reported damage.
