Abstract

Tropical Cyclone 1A became the first documented tropical cyclone to move through the Gulf of Aden. The tropical storm struck about 65 km (40 mi) west of Berbera District, Somalia and quickly dissipated. TC1A had a windspeed of 23m/s before dissipating.

TC1A is the only tropical cyclone to develop in the North Indian Ocean during the Spring transition season. After developing in the western Arabian Sea, the cyclone turned to the west-southwest and transited through the Gulf of Aden rather than moving to the north or northwest along the climatologically favored track and making landfall along the east coast of the Arabian Peninsula. The disturbance which eventually developed into TC1A was first detected on 23^rd May,1984 as an area of strong convection centered approximately 180 nm (333 km) southeast of Socotra.
