An area of low pressure formed over east-central Bay of Bengal on October 19.[1] It slowly consolidated, prompting the IMD to upgrade it to a Depression on October 21.[2] The system tracked over a marginally favorable environment, and intensified into a Deep Depression on October 23.[3] This was shortly followed by the JTWC issuing a TCFA for the system.[4] On October 24, both the IMD and JWTC reported the storm had reached tropical cyclone strength, naming it Kyant.[5][6] Initially following a northeastward path, the storm recurved westward off the coast of Myanmar along the souther periphery of a subtropical ridge towards the eastern coast of India.[7] Shortly thereafter, Kyant reached its peak intensity with sustained winds exceeding 75 km/h (47 mph) and a minimal central pressure of 998 mbar (29.5 inHg). Over the following days, the system commenced dry-air intrusion due to proximity to land, and within a span of six hours, it lost most of it's convective structure and rapidly degenerated, as it drifted further west-southwestward. The JTWC issued their final warning at 21:00 UTC on October 26.[8], and Kyant was last noted as a well-marked low pressure area off the coast of southern Andhra Pradesh on October 28.[9]
