2009 North Indian Ocean cyclone season
The 2009 North Indian Ocean cyclone season was characterized by a relatively inactive cyclonic activity, with the India Meteorological Department (IMD) officially recognizing six tropical cyclones, of which three attained severe intensity. The season commenced in April and concluded in December, primarily affecting the coasts of India, particularly the eastern states of Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu. Notable cyclones included Cyclone Aila, which struck in May, causing significant flooding and damage in West Bengal and parts of Bangladesh, and Cyclone Phyan in November, which influenced weather patterns across the southern Indian peninsula. Overall, the season was marked by the implementation of improved early warning systems that aimed to mitigate the impact of these tropical systems on vulnerable coastal populations.
