The JTWC only tracked the longer-lived and stronger cyclonic storms, which all formed after September; by their assessment, this was the fifth such occurrence since 1975 where all storms developed in the autumn. Throughout the year, tropical systems generally lasted longer than in 1994. The systems that affected land generally struck Andhra Pradesh and eastward through Bangladesh. The three cyclonic storms was less than the average of 5.4, and the two severe cyclonic storms was slightly below the average of 2.5. In addition to the storms tracked by the IMD, a monsoon depression struck northern Oman in late July, producing heavy rainfall that totaled on Jebel Shams mountain. The system later affected the remainder of the Arabian Peninsula.
