North Indian Ocean Basin:

Tropical Cyclone 04B: Tropical Cyclone 04B formed near 7N 89E on 21 Novem-
ber. Initially moving west-northwest, the system continued this motion the
next day as it reached tropical storm strength. TC-04B moved northwest on 23
November as it reached hurricane strength, then it recurved north-northeast
on 24 November as it reached a peak intensity of 105 kt. The cyclone turned
northeast and made landfall near the Bangladesh/Burma border with 85 kt winds
on 25 November. It dissipated over land later that day.

Cox's Bazaar, Bangladesh, reported 50 kt sustained winds and a 989.5 mb
pressure at 0600 UTC 25 November. Lower pressures and higher winds probably
occurred between the 6 hourly observations.

Press reports indicate that 9 people were killed and 300 others missing in
Bangladesh along with some property damage. No monetary damage figures are
available at this time.

South Indian Ocean Basin (W of 135 Deg. E):

Tropical Cyclone Daryl/Angnielle (TC-01S): At the start of the summary
period, Daryl/Angnielle was moving west through the open ocean with 100 kt
winds. The storm continued generally west through 21 November when it reached
a peak intensity of 145 kt. The cyclone turned south-southwest on 22 November,
and this motion continued through the next day. Daryl/Angnielle turned west
as it became sheared on 24 November. Rapid weakening resulted, and the system
(which was still of hurricane strength on 24 November) dissipated near 17S
72E on 25 November.

Although Daryl/Angnielle affected Cocos Island as it developed, there are
no reports of damage or casualties.

South Pacific Ocean Basin (E of 135 Deg. E): No tropical cyclones.
