caption_attribution_description: English: This map shows the tracks of all tropical cyclones in the 1950 North Indian Ocean cyclone season . The points show the location of each storm at 6-hour intervals. The colour represents the storm's maximum sustained wind speeds as classified in the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale (see below), and the shape of the data points represent the nature of the storm.

context_page_description: The years between 1945 and 1959 featured the 1945–59 North Indian Ocean cyclone seasons. Each season was an ongoing event in the annual cycle of tropical cyclone formation. The North Indian tropical cyclone season has no bounds, but they tend to form between April and December, peaks in May and November. These dates conventionally delimit the period of each year when most tropical cyclones form in the northern Indian Ocean. Below are the most significant cyclones in the time period. Because much of the North Indian coastline is near sea level and prone to flooding, these cyclones can easily kill many with storm surge and flooding. These cyclones are among the deadliest on earth in terms of numbers killed. These years are likely the first seasons Joint Typhoon Warning Center and India Meteorological Department watched over the basin, as IMD became a member of the World Meteorological Organization after independence on 27 April 1949.
