2015 North Indian Ocean cyclone season

The 2015 North Indian Ocean cyclone season was a significant period for tropical cyclone activity in the Indian Ocean, particularly affecting the Indian subcontinent. Spanning from April to December 2015, the season saw the formation of several notable cyclones, most prominently Cyclone Komen and Cyclone Ashobaa. Cyclone Komen, which formed in late July, brought heavy rainfall and flooding to various states in eastern India, particularly West Bengal, resulting in widespread disruptions and loss of life. The season also recorded cyclonic disturbances in the Arabian Sea and the Bay of Bengal, leading to heightened preparedness and response measures by the India Meteorological Department (IMD). Overall, the season underscored the increasing impact of tropical cyclones in the region amid changing climatic patterns.
