2019 North Indian Ocean Cyclone Season (ThePhoneExpert)

The 2019 North Indian Ocean Cyclone Season was the first to use the new basin features, including a new scale. It was an above average season, with 15 storms, 8 Cyclones, and 3 Major Cyclones. Activity was higher on the Bay of Bengal; the first time ever since 2016. The first named storm, Alma, formed on May 17, while both the season's first Cyclone and Major Cyclone, Bansi, formed on the next day.
