2019 North Indian Ocean cyclone season#Cyclonic Storm Pabuk

File:Ambali, Belna, and Pawan 2019-12-06 0600Z.jpg

The season had eight cyclonic storms, six very severe cyclonic storms and one super cyclonic storm, becoming exceptionally active. Amid a weak El Niño event, the season's first named storm, Pabuk, entered the basin on January 4, becoming the earliest-forming cyclonic storm of the North Indian Ocean on record, tying with the 2014 season. The second cyclonic storm of the season, Fani, formed on April 26. Fani became an extremely severe cyclonic storm on April 30, reaching the equivalent of Category 5 status on the Saffir–Simpson scale, then made landfall in India killing 89 people between Odisha and Bangladesh; Fani caused $8.1 billion in damage.

In early June, a strong pulse of the Madden–Julian oscillation (MJO) led to the development of the third cyclonic storm, Vayu, which formed June 10 in the Arabian Sea near the Maldives. The storm subsequently intensified into a very severe cyclonic storm on June 12, after moving northwestward towards northwestern India and Pakistan. No tropical cyclones formed in the month of July. Deep Depression BOB 03 formed on August 7 before impacting East India and Bangladesh. In late September, Deep Depression ARB 02 formed near Gujarat and intensified into the fourth cyclonic storm of the season, Hikaa. Cyclonic Storm Kyarr formed on October 24 and three days later became the first super cyclonic storm since Cyclone Gonu in 2007. The sixth cyclonic storm and a record-breaking fifth very severe cyclonic storm, Cyclone Maha, formed on October 30. On November 5, the remnants of Severe Tropical Storm Matmo crossed into the basin and redeveloped into Very Severe Cyclonic Storm Bulbul. Three more deep depressions would form in the Arabian Sea in December, with one strengthening into the eighth cyclone of the season, Cyclonic Storm Pawan, which made landfall in Somalia on December 6.

The high amount of activity in the Arabian Sea was related to the strongest Indian Ocean Dipole in 60 years, in which the waters are warmer in the western Indian Ocean than the eastern.{{Cite web|url=https://blogs.scientificamerican.com/eye-of-the-storm/tropical-cyclone-kyarr-150-mph-winds-arabian-seas-2nd-strongest-storm-on-record/|title=Tropical Cyclone Kyarr (150-mph Winds): Arabian Sea's 2nd Strongest Storm on Record|first=Jeff|last=Masters|website=Scientific American Blog Network}}

Tropical cyclones have been recorded in the North Indian Ocean since 1891. The 2019 season was the first since 1902 that experienced the development of six severe cyclonic storms out of eight cyclonic storms; in 1902, five cyclonic storms formed and four of them became severe cyclonic storms.{{Cite web | url=http://www.imd.gov.in/pages/press_release_view.php?ff=20191103_pr_655 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191104061401/http://www.imd.gov.in/pages/press_release_view.php?ff=20191103_pr_655 | url-status=dead | archive-date=2019-11-04 |title = IMD – Press Release}} The season also produced the most accumulated cyclone energy in this basin on record.

{{Main|Tropical Storm Pabuk (2019)}}

Pabuk originated in a low pressure area which formed in the South China Sea on December 28, which later became a depression on December 31. On January 1 at 06:00 UTC, it became a tropical storm with JMA naming it "Pabuk". It maintained its intensity until making landfall over the Pak Phanang District of Thailand on January 4 at 05:40 UTC. On the morning of January 5, it entered the basin, and the India Meteorological Department (IMD) began giving advisories to the system. As it entered the basin, it was designated as "Cyclonic Storm Pabuk" by the IMD. Pabuk became a deep depression at 06:00 UTC the next day, because of high wind shear and a weak MJO. It was further downgraded to a depression at 00:00 UTC on January 7, because of similar unfavorable conditions. The next day, it weakened into a well-marked low pressure area.{{cite web|url=https://rsmcnewdelhi.imd.gov.in/uploads/report/27/27_6f8db1_rsmc-2020.pdf|title=Annual Report on Cyclonic Disturbance over North Indian Ocean during 2019|website=rsmcnewdelhi.imd.gov.in|publisher=India Meteorological Department|location=New Delhi, India|date=January 2020|access-date=August 12, 2021}}

Pabuk caused gusty winds and heavy rainfall over the Andaman and Nicobar Islands with no significant damage reported in the island. However, in Thailand it claimed the lives of eight people and caused an estimated US$156 million in property damage.

In early June, a strong pulse of the Madden–Julian oscillation (MJO) tracked eastwards into the tropical Indian Ocean, leading to increased cloudiness and rainfall across the region.{{Cite web | url=http://www.bom.gov.au/climate/tropical-note/ |title = Weekly Tropical Climate Note}} On June 9, the India Meteorological Department (IMD) noted the development of a low-pressure area over the southeastern Arabian Sea, to the north of the Maldives. Early on June 10, a depression formed in the Arabian Sea, just northwest of the Maldives, and the IMD gave the storm the identifier ARB 01. As the system moved northward, it gradually strengthened, becoming a deep depression, before intensifying further into Cyclonic Storm Vayu later that day. After being upgraded by the IMD to a severe cyclonic storm on June 11, and concurrently by the JTWC to a Category 1 tropical cyclone on the Saffir–Simpson hurricane wind scale (SSHWS), the system began a period of rapid intensification. Vayu strengthened into a very severe cyclonic storm soon afterward, and became a Category 2-equivalent very severe cyclonic storm on June 12. On June 13, the influence of a strengthening subtropical ridge over Saudi Arabia caused Vayu to gradually slow down and turn to the west, as it approached the coastline of the state of Gujarat in northwestern India.{{Cite web|url=http://www.rsmcnewdelhi.imd.gov.in/images/bulletin/rsmc.pdf|title=Tropical Cyclone Advisory Bulletin #18|last=Gopal|first=Neetha|date=13 June 2019|website=India

A depression formed in the Arabian Sea on October 24, with IMD giving it the identifier ARB 03, later intensifying into a deep depression before JTWC recognized it as Tropical Cyclone 04A. It further intensified and became a cyclonic storm, receiving the name Kyarr from IMD as the fifth cyclonic storm of the season. On October 25, owing to high sea surface temperatures, low shear and a moist environment, Kyarr began a period of rapid intensification and strengthened into a very severe cyclonic storm. Three hours later, Kyarr became an extremely severe cyclonic storm. Early on October 27, Kyarr intensified into a super cyclonic storm, becoming the first one in the basin since Gonu in 2007. The system continued to intensify, attaining maximum three-minute sustained winds of {{convert|240|km/h|mph}} and a minimum barometric pressure of 922 hPa (27.23 inHg), Kyarr began slowly weakening on October 29 as it headed southwest towards the direction of Somalia. Kyarr dissipated off the coast of Somalia on November 1.

Despite the immense strength of the storm, and many countries being affected by high tides and storm surges, there were no reported fatalities in Socotra, though there were 5 people reported dead in Karnataka, India, due to heavy rains.{{Cite news|last=|first=|date=2019-10-26|title=Cyclone Kyarr: Five killed in rain-related incidents in Karnataka|work=The Hindu|url=https://www.thehindu.com/news/national/karnataka/cyclone-kyarr-five-killed-in-rain-related-incidents-in-karnataka/article29802493.ece|access-date=2021-01-20|issn=0971-751X}}

Maha continued to intensify, fluctuating in intensity for the next 2 days as it moved along the Indian coast, before becoming a very severe cyclonic storm on November 3. Maha would reach its peak intensity, strengthening into an extremely severe cyclonic storm the next day, before beginning to stall in the Arabian Sea due to a lack of steering currents. Upwelling would begin to take its toll on the storm, resulting in Maha weakening into a cyclonic storm as it approached Gujarat. It would later make landfall near Gujarat as a tropical depression and quickly weakened afterwards.

In preparation of Maha's impacts, orange alert was issued in four districts of Kerala.{{Cite web|url=http://www.uniindia.com/cyclone-maha-orange-alert-in-four-districts-of-kerala/south/news/1774974.html|title=Cyclone MAHA: Orange Alert in four districts of Kerala}}

On December 3, a depression formed over the east-central Arabian Sea, with the IMD marking it as Depression ARB 07. It gradually strengthened into a deep depression soon after. Initial forecasts expected the system to intensify into a cyclonic storm, however, a high amount of wind shear caused it to weaken substantially, and it weakened into a low-pressure area on December 5, west of the Indian coast.{{citation needed|date=December 2019}}

On December 7, a low pressure area formed over the Equatorial Indian Ocean and the adjoining east-central Arabian Sea. With warm sea surface temperature and high tropical cyclone heat potential, it further developed into a well-marked low pressure system on December 8. Under moderate wind shear, and high sea-surface temperature, it concentrated into a depression with IMD designated as ARB 08 at 09:00 UTC on same day. Satellite imagery indicated an increase of organisation of clouds and an increase of convection around the system center. On December 9, at 00:00 UTC, it further intensified into a deep depression over southwest Arabian Sea, with further organisation of clouds and intense convection around the center. However tropical cyclone heat potential decreased and sea surface temperature also decreased with vertical wind shear started to increase, causing the system to weakened into a depression at 12:00 UTC in December 9. The wind shear have hampered the system and clouds started to disorganise. Similar unfavourable condition further weakened the system and at 06:00 UTC on December 10, IMD would downgrade the system to a well-marked low pressure system over the southwestern Arabian Sea, with satellite imagery showing clouds being increasingly disorganized.{{cite web|url=https://rsmcnewdelhi.imd.gov.in/uploads/report/26/26_668b6a_dddec8-10.pdf|title=Report of Deep Depression over southwest Arabian Sea during 08{{snd}}10 December 2019|website=rsmcnewdelhi.imd.gov.in|author=|publisher=India Meteorological Department|location=New Delhi, India|date=|access-date=June 23, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211004055844/https://rsmcnewdelhi.imd.gov.in/uploads/report/26/26_668b6a_dddec8-10.pdf|archive-date=October 4, 2021}}

In the basin, a tropical cyclone is assigned a name whe is judged to have become a cyclonic storm with winds of {{convert|65|km/h|mph}}. The names were selected by members of the ESCAP/WMO Panel on Tropical Cyclones from 2000 and May 2004, before the Regional Specialized Meteorological Center in New Delhi started to assign names in September 2004. There is no retirement of tropical cyclone names in this basin as the list of names is only scheduled to be used once before a new list of names is drawn up. Should a named tropical cyclone move into the basin from the Western Pacific, it will retain its original name. The next eight available names from the List of North Indian Ocean storm names are below.

Pabuk entered the basin from the Gulf of Thailand as a cyclonic storm; its name was assigned by the Japan Meteorological Agency.

This is a table of all storms in the 2019 North Indian Ocean cyclone season. It mentions all of the season's storms and their names, duration, peak intensities (according to the IMD storm scale), damage, and death totals. Damage and death totals include the damage and deaths caused when that storm was a precursor wave or extratropical low, and all of the damage figures are in 2019 USD.
