This timeline documents all of the events of the 2024 North Indian Ocean cyclone season. The scope of this article is limited to the North Indian basin. During the season, systems will be designated as tropical depressions by the India Meteorological Department (IMD). [1] Since they run the Regional Specialized Meteorological Centre (RSMC) for the basin, they will assign names to tropical depressions which developed into tropical storms in the basin. [2] The Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC) also monitors the basin, issuing unofficial bulletins for tropical cyclones which form in the basin for military interests. [3]

The scope of this article is limited to the Indian Ocean in the Northern Hemisphere, east of the Horn of Africa and west of the Malay Peninsula. There are two main seas in the North Indian Ocean — the Arabian Sea to the west of the Indian subcontinent, abbreviated ARB by the India Meteorological Department (IMD); and the Bay of Bengal to the east, abbreviated BOB by the IMD. And, the depressions formed over the land, are abbreviated LAND by the Indian Meteorological Department.

Cyclonic Storm Gulab and Severe Cyclonic Storm Shaheen were two tropical cyclones that caused considerable damage to South and West Asia during the 2021 North Indian Ocean cyclone season. Gulab impacted India and Pakistan, while Shaheen impacted Iran, Oman and the United Arab Emirates. Gulab was the third named storm of the 2021 North Indian Ocean cyclone season, as well as the fourth named storm of the season after its reformation in the Arabian Sea as Shaheen. The cyclone's origins can be traced back to a low-pressure area situated over the Bay of Bengal on September 24. The Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) named this new cyclone Gulab. On September 26, Gulab made landfall in India's Andhra Pradesh and Pakistans Karachi but weakened overland, before degenerating into a remnant low on September 28. The system continued moving westward, emerging into the Arabian Sea on September 29, before regenerating into a depression early on September 30. Early on October 1, the system restrengthened into a Cyclonic Storm, which was named Shaheen. The system gradually strengthened as it entered the Gulf of Oman. While slowly moving westward, the storm turned southwestward, subsequently making an extremely rare landfall in Oman on October 3, as a Category 1-equivalent cyclone. Shaheen then rapidly weakened, before dissipating the next day.
