2042 North Indian Ocean Cyclone Season (ThePhoneExpert)

The 2042 North Indian Ocean Cyclone Season was an hyperactive season, with most of the activity unusually occuring very late. With 18 Depressions, 15 Named Storms, 11 Cyclones and 4 Major Cyclones, 2042 had 3 of its Major Cyclones occur after Late October. The season officially began on May 15, and ended on December 25. However, portrayed by Aysha in May and Nourin in December (January 2043), storms can form at any time, and can even exceed the bounds.

This year had an unusual early activity after the formation of Aysha; with short lived storms forming. In June, only 2 storms formed. Activity quickly skyrocketed on July when 5 storms formed, the strongest being Hanna. Ultimately, the Extremely High Wind Shear prohibited most of the activity in September and October, limiting activity severely. Later on October, Cyclones Leo and Mia both peaked as an Extremely Major Cyclone. Leo made landfall near Bubaneshwar, Odisha as a Category 3 Major Cyclone. Mia disrupted the Kerala Coast due to its unusual movement; threatening the coastline as a Category 4, thrice. Mia made landfall as a Category 2 Cyclone; but still managed to cause over $12 billion in damages.

In December, Cyclones Nourin and Ozzie formed on simultaneous sides of the Indian Ocean. Ozzie managed to become a Category 1 Cyclone, and made landfall on Odisha. Nourin regenerated into a remnant low, but later regenerated and explosively intensified into what was, the first ever December Category 5 Super Cyclone ever recorded in the Northern Indian Ocean. Nourin was also the most intense December Tropical Cyclone worldwide, peaking with winds of 205mph and a pressure of 879 Millibars.
