Deep Depression BOB 05 was a weak tropical cyclone that impacted Bangladesh and India. The seventh tropical cyclone and fourth deep depression of the 2024 North Indian Ocean cyclone season, BOB 05 originated from a broad area of cyclonic circulation partially related to the remnants of Typhoon Yagi in the Western Pacific. Moving generally northwestward, the depression failed to intensify further, reaching maximum sustained winds of 55 km/h (35 mph) and a central pressure of 989 hPa (29.21 inHg). It would weaken, becoming a remnant low on 18 September.
Heavy rainfall from the storm led to severe flooding in southeastern Bangladesh, affecting over 50,000 people across 40 villages in Ukhia Upazila, with Haldia Palong and Jaliapalong areas being the most impacted, totaling 35,000 residents. Additionally, Chakaria Upazila experienced flooding that disrupted 20,000 residents and caused significant damage to agricultural land. Meanwhile, in Kolkata, 72.4 mm (2.85 in) of rain was recorded over a 24-hour period, with a total of 125.8 mm (4.95 in).
