2015 North Indian Ocean cyclone season#Land Depression 01

{{main|Timeline of the 2015 North Indian Ocean cyclone season}}

The season started rather late compared to the last two years, with the first storm, Ashobaa, not developing until June 7. Ashobaa was followed by 2 depressions, before Komen formed in July. Komen produced torrential rainfall in Bangladesh. September featured no storms, before Chapala formed at the end of October. Chapala rapidly intensified over the Arabian Sea into an Extremely Severe Cyclonic Storm, becoming the strongest in the Arabian Sea since Gonu in 2007. Chapala also became the only hurricane force system to make landfall in Yemen, and the first since 1922 in Socotra. Chapala was followed by Megh, which reached a weaker intensity in the same general area.

Under the influence of an ongoing onset of a southwest monsoon, a low-pressure area formed on June 6. It slowly consolidated, prompting the Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC) to issue a Tropical Cyclone Formation Alert (TCFA) on June 6.{{cite web|last1=Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC) |title=Tropical Cyclone Formation Alert WTIO21 Issued on 06 June 2015 at 1100 UTC |url=http://www.usno.navy.mil/NOOC/nmfc-ph/RSS/jtwc/warnings/io9515web.txt |website=Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC) |access-date=June 7, 2015 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://archive.today/20240522115616/https://www.webcitation.org/6Z6QYqI2o?url=http://www.usno.navy.mil/NOOC/nmfc-ph/RSS/jtwc/warnings/io9515web.txt |archive-date=22 May 2024 }} The following day, the India Meteorological Department (IMD) issued its first advisory for the system, designating it ARB 01. Later the same day, the JTWC reported the storm had reached tropical cyclone intensity, and on June 8, the IMD upgraded the storm to a cyclonic storm, assigning it the name Ashobaa. The storm continued to track northwestwards for a while, before turning westwards and weakening due to moderate to high wind shear and land interaction.

Due to most of the moisture being drawn into the storm, the onset of the southwest monsoon over the Indian subcontinent was stalled.{{cite news|last1=Madaan|first1=Neha|title=Ashobaa stalls monsoon's advance|url=http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/Ashobaa-stalls-monsoons-advance/articleshow/47622043.cms|access-date=June 11, 2015|agency=The Times of India|newspaper=The Times of India|date=June 11, 2015}} Torrential rains fell across much of eastern Oman, with Masirah Island receiving {{convert|225|mm|in|abbr=on}} of rain in one day and more than {{convert|250|mm|in|abbr=on}} overall.{{cite web|author=Eric Leister|publisher=Accuweather|date=June 12, 2015|access-date=June 12, 2015|title=Rainstorm Ashobaa Slams Oman With Historic Flooding|url=http://www.accuweather.com/en/weather-news/oman-to-pakistan-remain-on-ale/48386959|archive-date=July 28, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170728133530/https://www.accuweather.com/en/weather-news/oman-to-pakistan-remain-on-ale/48386959|url-status=dead}}{{cite news|author=Fahad Al Mukrashi|newspaper=Gulf News|date=June 12, 2015|access-date=June 12, 2015|title=Heavy rains cause flooding in southern Oman |url=http://gulfnews.com/news/gulf/oman/heavy-rains-cause-flooding-in-southern-oman-1.1534121|location=Muscat, Oman}} Significant flooding prompted dozens of evacuations while strong winds caused power outages.{{cite web|publisher=The National|date=June 12, 2015|access-date=June 12, 2015|title=Widespread flooding as Ashobaa brings heavy rains to Oman|url=http://www.thenational.ae/world/middle-east/widespread-flooding-as-ashobaa-brings-heavy-rains-to-oman|location=Muscat, Oman}} Waterlogging was reported in Kalba and Fujairah, in the United Arab Emirates, due to disturbed weather attributed to Ashobaa.{{cite news|last1=Rai|first1=Bindu|title=Ashobaa Latest: Gale winds to strike Muscat; Waterlogging in Fujairah|url=http://www.emirates247.com/news/emirates/ashobaa-latest-gale-winds-to-strike-muscat-waterlogging-in-fujairah-2015-06-11-1.593052|access-date=June 11, 2015|agency=Emirates247}}

A trough over Madhya Pradesh drifted westwards into eastern Rajasthan and lead to the formation of an area of low pressure in its vicinity on July 24. Continuing on its westward track, the system became more organised and intensified into a depression on July 27, to the west of Jodhpur. A western disturbance over Pakistan and adjoining areas of Jammu and Kashmir kept the system from moving further north into drier portions of Rajasthan. This allowed it to intensify further into a deep depression, about {{convert|110|km|mi|abbr=on}} southeast of Barmer. However, the system accelerated in a chiefly northward track on July 29, absorbing dry air along its path. It weakened rapidly and dissipated to the north of Bikaner on the following day.{{cite web|title=Depression over Rajasthan to weaken rapidly|url=http://www.skymetweather.com/content/weather-news-and-analysis/low-pressure-area-in-rajasthan-to-intensify-into-depression/|publisher=Skymet Weather|access-date=24 October 2016}}

Heavy rainfall brought by the system lead to flash flooding in districts of Rajasthan and Gujarat. Chief Minister of Gujarat Anandiben Patel ordered rescue teams to carry out relief activities in Kutch, Patan, Banaskantha, and other districts of the state, as a result.{{cite news|title=Deep depression brings heavy rains, flooding in parts of Gujarat|url=http://www.business-standard.com/article/economy-policy/deep-depression-brings-heavy-rains-flooding-in-parts-of-gujarat-115072801065_1.html|newspaper=Business Standard|access-date=24 October 2016}}

In early October, a low-pressure area formed over the Arabian Sea. It slowly consolidated, prompting the JTWC to issue a TCFA on October 7. On October 9, the IMD started issuing its advisories for the system, designating it ARB 03. During the late hours of October 9, the JTWC stated the storm had reached gale-force winds, and commenced its advisories. On the following day, the depression intensified into a Deep depression, reaching its peak intensity with sustained wind speeds at {{convert|55|km/h|mph|abbr=on|round=5}} and a minimum central pressure estimated near {{convert|1001|mbar|inHg|abbr=on|sigfig=4}}. On the following days, the storm followed a generally northwestward track, where it encountered areas having low mid-to-upper level moisture in the atmosphere. The system struggled to maintain its intensity and weakened, prompting the JTWC to issue its final warning on ARB 03 in the morning of October 11. On next day, IMD reported that the storm had degenerated into a well-marked low-pressure area.

The storm, being over water during its entire lifespan, did not directly impact any landmass. However, under the influence of the storm's rain bands, heavy Rains lashed the Kanyakumari district of Tamil Nadu, India. The reservoir of Chittar I, a dam near Kanyakumari, recorded {{convert|216.4|mm|in|abbr=on}} of rainfall.{{Cite web |url=http://www.dailythanthi.com/News/Districts/Kanyakumari/2015/10/10022116/Kumari-district-dawn-to-dawn-rainThe-inundation-of.vpf |title = குமரி மாவட்டத்தில் விடிய விடிய மழை கிராமங்களை வெள்ளம் சூழ்ந்தது திற்பரப்பு அருவியில் குளிக்கத்தடை{{!}}{{!}}Kumari-district-dawn-to-dawn-rainThe-inundation-of |access-date=2015-10-10 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151012220933/http://www.dailythanthi.com/News/Districts/Kanyakumari/2015/10/10022116/Kumari-district-dawn-to-dawn-rainThe-inundation-of.vpf |archive-date=2015-10-12 |url-status=dead }}

Chapala caused widespread damage in mainland Yemen, Socotra and the Puntland region of Somalia. High winds, strong waves, and heavy rainfall affected the southern Yemen coast, with areas in the region receiving {{convert|610|mm|in|abbr=on}} of rainfall over 48 hours, or 700% of the average yearly precipitation. The storm caused severe flooding along the coast, including in Mukalla, the nation's fifth largest city, where the seafront was destroyed by waves exceeding {{convert|9|m|ft|abbr=on}}. While passing north of Socotra, Chapala brought heavy rainfall and high winds while inundating the northeastern part of the island. Large swells produced by Chapala caused extensive coastal damage in eastern Puntland, with multiple structures, boats, and roads destroyed. An Iranian vessel capsized offshore on November 1, killing one person.{{Citation needed|date=May 2020}}

A low-pressure area consolidated into a depression on November 8. It slowly intensified, prompting the JTWC to issue a Tropical Cyclone Formation Alert (TCFA) for the system, but was eventually cancelled despite the improving appearance prior to landfall. The IMD later upgraded the system to a deep depression before it crossed the coast of Tamil Nadu near Puducherry the following day with peak wind speeds of {{convert|55|km/h|abbr=on|round=5}} and a minimum central pressure of {{convert|991|hPa|inHg|abbr=on|sigfig=4}}. Due to land interaction and high vertical wind shear, the system weakened into a well-marked low-pressure area over north Tamil Nadu on November 10.

The storm brought heavy rainfall over the coastal districts of Tamil Nadu.
