The cyclone season in the North Indian 2014 has no official limits as is usual in other basins, but runs all year round. The tropical cyclones usually form in this basin between April and December, with the months before and after the monsoon season , i.e. April / May and October / November, being the most active. A tropical cyclone in the Indian Ocean is known as a cyclone .

The responsible Regional Specialized Meteorological Center (RSMC) is the India Meteorological Department in New Delhi . This gives a name to those tropical cyclones that have at least the status of a cyclone. Low pressure areas (depending on the wind speed depressions or deep depressions ) are numbered consecutively, with the letter combination BOB indicating that the system was formed in the Bay of Bengal . The letters ARB stand for the Arabian Sea .

The Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC) in Honolulu issues separate warnings and forecasts for the US facilities in the Indian Ocean. The JTWC classifies according to the Saffir-Simpson hurricane wind scale , while the RSMC uses its own criteria for the classification, which are based, among other things, on the measurement of the continuous wind speed on the basis of a three-minute observation.

Storm names

Tropical cyclones in the Indian Ocean are named by the RSMC of the India Meteorological Department . The names are used only once each, so no devastating storm names are removed from the list of tropical cyclone names after the season ends .

  • Nanauk
  • Hudhud
  • Nilofar
