1974 North Indian Ocean Cyclone Season
The 1974 North Indian Ocean cyclone season was part of the annual cycle of tropical cyclone formation. The season has no official bounds but cyclones tend to form between April and December. These dates conventionally delimit the period of each year when most tropical cyclones form in the northern Indian Ocean. There are two main seas in the North Indian Ocean—the Bay of Bengal to the east of the Indian subcontinent and the Arabian Sea to the west of India. The official Regional Specialized Meteorological Centre in this basin is the India Meteorological Department (IMD), while the Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC) releases unofficial advisories. An average of five tropical cyclones form in the North Indian Ocean every season with peaks in May and November. Cyclones occurring between the meridians 45°E and 100°E are included in the season by the IMD. Systems Tropical Storm One (01A) This cyclone was one of the three rare April cyclone which was formed during first fiftee ...

Cyclone Maarutha
Cyclonic Storm Maarutha was the first tropical cyclone to make landfall in Myanmar in April. The first tropical cyclone and named storm of the 2017 North Indian Ocean cyclone season, Maarutha was a relatively short-lived and weak system, nonetheless causing notable damage in Myanmar. Maarutha formed from an area of low pressure over the southern Bay of Bengal on April 15. The next morning, RSMC New Delhi upgraded the low-pressure area to a Depression and designated it as BOB 01. Meteorological History On April 11, an upper air circulation developed over the Andaman Sea, where it moved north-eastwards and concentrated into a low pressure trough over the next day. The United States Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC) started monitoring the system as a tropical disturbance on April 13, while it was some southwest of Yangon. JTWC reported that the disturbance was located within a favourable environment for further development and that convection had started to wrap into the elonga ...

1973–74 South Pacific Cyclone Season
The 1973–74 South Pacific cyclone season was an inactive season. In tropical cyclones, it was an average season, but in strength, it was very inactive, with only two severe tropical cyclones. Systems Tropical Cyclone SP7301 Severe Tropical Cyclone Natalie–Lottie This storm initially formed as Natalie, then moved into the Australian region on the same day. Later, it moved back into the South Pacific and was renamed Lottie. High seas caused the ship Uluilakeba to capsize killing more than 85 people.

1974–75 Australian Region Cyclone Season
The 1974–75 Australian region cyclone season was an above average tropical cyclone season.

1974 Pacific Typhoon Season
The 1974 Pacific typhoon season was the first season on record to not feature a Saffir–Simpson scale#Category 5, Category 5 equivalent super typhoon; a feat later repeated by the 1977 Pacific typhoon season, 1977 and 2017 Pacific typhoon season, 2017 seasons. Even so, the season was overly active, with 32 tropical storms and 16 typhoons being developed this year. It has no official bounds; it ran year-round in 1974, but most tropical cyclones tend to form in the northwestern Pacific Ocean between June and December. These dates conventionally delimit the period of each year when most tropical cyclones form in the northwestern Pacific Ocean.

North Indian Ocean Tropical Cyclone
In the Indian Ocean north of the equator, tropical cyclones can form throughout the year on either side of India, although most frequently between April and June, and between October and December. Sub-basins The North Indian Ocean is the least active basin, contributing only seven percent of the world's tropical cyclones. However the basin has produced some of the deadliest cyclones in the world, since they strike over very densely populated areas. The Regional Specialized Meteorological Centre (RSMC) is the India Meteorological Department (IMD) and it is responsible to monitor the basin, issues warning and name the storms. The basin is divided into two sub-basins the Bay of Bengal and the Arabian Sea. The Bay of Bengal, located in the northeast of the Indian Ocean. The basin is abbreviated ''BOB'' by the India Meteorological Department (IMD). The United States's Joint Typhoon Warning Center unofficially designates as ''B'' to classify storms formed in the Bay of Bengal. ...
