Cyclonic Storm Pyarr was a weak, but deadly tropical cyclone that affected Bangladesh and India during September of 2005. The seventh depression, and second named storm of the 2005 North Indian Ocean cyclone season, Pyarr originated from a tropical disturbance in the southern China Sea that moved into the northern Andaman Sea.
Meteorological history
A tropical depression developed in the South China Sea on September 12 and moved westward into central Vietnam on the next day. Continuing through Laos and Thailand, the system emerged into the northern Andaman Sea on September 15. Tracked continuously as a depression by the Thai Meteorological Department, it was classified as a depression by the IMD on September 17 west of Myanmar.[1] On the next day, the system intensified into a deep depression and later cyclonic storm, whereupon the IMD named it Pyarr.[2] It was the first cyclonic storm in the month in seven years.[3] Attaining peak winds of 65 km/h (40 mph), the storm took an unusual track to the southwest. On September 19, Pyarr made landfall just northeast of Kalingapatnam in Andhra Pradesh. It turned westward and weakened over land, deteriorating into a remnant low on September 22 over Madhya Pradesh.[2]
As a depression, the system produced damaging swells along coastal Bangladesh,[4] forcing 12,000 people to evacuate. Offshore, an estimated 9,000 fishermen in roughly 600 vessels were caught in the storm; 15–20 of these ships capsized with 85 people collectively aboard.[5] At least 16 were known to have died.[4] Torrential rainfall affected eastern coastal India, with a daily peak of 490 mm (19 in) in Kunavaram.[2] The rains caused rivers to rise, forcing 36,000 people to evacuate after 315 villages were affected. The floods killed 10,000 cattle and killed four people in Khammam.[6]
Impact
In all, a total of 91 people were killed as a result of the cyclone, including 75 in Andhra Pradesh alone[7] with overall damage from the cyclone being estimated at ₹503 million (2005 Indian rupees, $11.4 million United States dollars).[2] More than 140,000 people were forced to relocate after the Godavari and Krishna rivers burst their banks and caused tremendous flooding.[4]
