Following six months of inactivity across the Northern Indian Ocean, a tropical disturbance developed within a monsoon trough over the Bay of Bengal on May 15. Initially poorly organized, the system developed into a tropical depression the following day as it moved northwestward. Intensification was slow at first as the storm turned to the northeast. As it approached Myanmar, the Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC) estimated it to have attained winds of {{convert|120|km/h|mph|abbr=on|round=5}}, equivalent to a low-end Category 1 hurricane on the Saffir–Simpson hurricane scale.{{cite report|work=Joint Typhoon Warning Center|publisher=United states Navy|year=1993|accessdate=May 26, 2014|title=Annual Tropical Cyclone Report|chapter=Tropical Cyclone 01B|chapter-url=http://www.usno.navy.mil/NOOC/nmfc-ph/RSS/jtwc/atcr/1992atcr.pdf|pages=158–159|archive-date=September 28, 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120928114724/http://www.usno.navy.mil/NOOC/nmfc-ph/RSS/jtwc/atcr/1992atcr.pdf|url-status=dead}} The India Meteorological Department (IMD), however, estimated the system to have been considerably weaker and only upgraded it to a cyclonic storm with {{convert|65|km/h|mph|abbr=on|round=5}} was as it made landfall in Rakhine State on May 19. Once onshore, the storm accelerated and weakened, being last noted early on May 20 as a dissipating system near the Myanmar–China border.

Striking Myanmar on May 19, the storm caused considerable damage in coastal areas of Rakhine State. The hardest hit areas were Taungup, Thandwe, Manaung, Kyaukpyu, and Ramree. Throughout the region, 433 homes were destroyed and 24 boats sunk.{{cite news|agency=Xinhua General News|date=May 27, 1992|location=Yangon, Myanmar|title=Storm kills 27 persons in western Myanmar state}} {{subscription required|via=Lexis Nexis}} According to the state-run Radio Rangoon, at least 27 people lost their lives and 19 others were reported missing.{{cite news|agency=Agence France-Presse|location=Bangkok, Thailand|date=May 26, 1992|title=27 killed by heavy storm in western Burma}} {{subscription required|via=Lexis Nexis}} Additionally, 182 cattle were killed.

In early June, a small area of low pressure developed within the monsoon trough over the southeastern Arabian Sea. Following a notable increase in convection on June 4, a Tropical Cyclone Formation Alert (TCFA) was issued and the JTWC initiated advisories on the system as a tropical depression the following day. After reaching tropical storm strength early on June 6, increasing wind shear displaced convection from the circulation center and prevented further development. Steering currents simultaneously became weak as the storm turned northward and moved along an inverted "S-shaped" path for three days before resuming a general eastward motion. Though already classified a tropical storm by the JTWC,{{cite report|work=Joint Typhoon Warning Center|publisher=United states Navy|year=1993|accessdate=May 26, 2014|title=Annual Tropical Cyclone Report|chapter=Tropical Cyclone 02A|chapter-url=http://www.usno.navy.mil/NOOC/nmfc-ph/RSS/jtwc/atcr/1992atcr.pdf|pages=160–161|archive-date=September 28, 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120928114724/http://www.usno.navy.mil/NOOC/nmfc-ph/RSS/jtwc/atcr/1992atcr.pdf|url-status=dead}} the IMD did not start monitoring the system as a depression until June 8. The agency assessed the cyclone to have attained winds of {{convert|85|km/h|mph|abbr=on|round=5}} on June 11 well to the southeast of Yemen. The storm ultimately succumbed to persistent wind shear and dissipated on June 12 just north of the island of Socotra.

Turning northwest, the system deepened into a tropical storm and struck Odisha, India with winds of {{convert|85|km/h|mph|abbr=on|round=5}} later that day. According to the IMD, the system peaked as a deep depression with {{convert|55|km/h|mph|abbr=on|round=5}} winds and a pressure of 980 mb (hPa; 28.94 inHg). Once onshore, the cyclone weakened to a depression before being last noted by the JTWC on June 18. The IMD continued to monitor the remnant disturbance through June 20 by which time it was situated over Madhya Pradesh.

Though only a deep depression according to the IMD, wind gusts up to {{convert|135|km/h|mph|abbr=on}} caused extensive damage in Odisha. Seven people were killed in the Puri district due to fallen trees from high winds. Along the coast of the Puri and Cuttack districts a significant storm surge flooded numerous areas, damaging or destroying many homes and disrupting the electrical grid. The Hansa River also broke its banks near Koilipur due to a combination of the surge and heavy rains.{{cite news|agency=United Press International|date=June 19, 1992|title=Cyclone kills at least seven|location=New Delhi, India}} {{subscription required|via=Lexis Nexis}} Offshore, 370 fishermen went missing after sailing into the storm.{{cite news|agency=Xinhua General News|date=June 19, 1992|title=370 fishermen missing after storm in India|location=New Delhi, India}} {{subscription required|via=Lexis Nexis}} The remnant system, entangled within the seasonal monsoon, produced torrential rains as far west as Gujarat.

The monsoon trough spawned a tropical depression over the northern Bay of Bengal on July 24. It strengthened to a tropical storm on the 26th before hitting India. This was the first known storm to have attained tropical storm intensity in the basin during July since reliable records began in 1981.{{cite report|author1=Gary Padgett |author2=Kevin Boyle|publisher=Australia Severe Weather|date=October 3, 2006|accessdate=May 25, 2014|title=Monthly Global Tropical Cyclone Summary|chapter=July 2006|chapter-url=http://www.australiasevereweather.com/cyclones/2007/summ0607.htm}} This rare July cyclone dissipated on the 28th.

On September 21, a monsoonal low formed over northern Thailand and moved westward, emerging over the Bay of Bengal later that day. Though a broad system, convection soon increased over its center and the JTWC issued a TCFA early on September 22. Turning northwest, the low organized further into a tropical depression and attained peak winds of {{convert|55|km/h|mph|abbr=on|round=5}}. Due to its proximity to land, it was unable to strengthen further and the depression later made landfall in southern Bangladesh on September 24. Turning back to the west, the dissipating system remained near the coastline and was last noted over India on September 25.{{cite report|work=Joint Typhoon Warning Center|publisher=United states Navy|year=1993|accessdate=May 26, 2014|title=Annual Tropical Cyclone Report|chapter=Tropical Cyclone 05B|chapter-url=http://www.usno.navy.mil/NOOC/nmfc-ph/RSS/jtwc/atcr/1992atcr.pdf|pages=166–167|archive-date=September 28, 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120928114724/http://www.usno.navy.mil/NOOC/nmfc-ph/RSS/jtwc/atcr/1992atcr.pdf|url-status=dead}}

On September 29, a tropical depression formed over India. It tracked westward, slowly strengthening to a tropical storm on the 1st due to vertical shear. The shear abated enough to let the storm reach a peak of 65 mph winds, but it returned, weakening the system to a 50 mph storm just before hitting eastern Oman on the 3rd.

In Sur, Oman, just south of Muscat, {{convert|33|mm|in|abbr=on}} of rain fell during the storm's passage.

A tropical depression that developed in the Bay of Bengal on October 4 tracked westward to become a tropical storm on the 7th. It turned more to the north, and hit southeastern India as a 50 mph tropical storm on the 9th.

Monsoonal rains brought along by the depression caused widespread flooding in southern India. The hardest hit area was Kerala where 60 people were killed.

On November 15, Pacific Tropical Storm Forrest crossed the Malay Peninsula and emerged over the Andaman Sea. Tracking around a subtropical ridge, the system gradually turned northward over the Bay of Bengal and attained hurricane strength on November 17. It reached its peak intensity on November 20 as a Category 4-equivalent cyclone on the Saffir–Simpson hurricane scale with winds of {{convert|230|km/h|mph|abbr=on|round=5}}. The IMD assessed Forrest to have attained three-minute sustained winds of {{convert|185|km/h|mph|abbr=on|round=5}} and a pressure of 952 mbar (hPa; {{convert|952|mbar|inHg|abbr=on|sigfig=4|disp=out}}).
