a low pressure area formed over the bay of bengal on may 19. it slowly consolidated, prompting imd to classify it as a depression on may 21, followed by jtwc issuing a tropical cyclone formation alert (tcfa) in the following hours. over the following day, the depression continued moving north-northeastwards towards an area of high vertical wind shear. the jtwc cancelled the tcfa issued for the system, stating that high wind shear had caused the convection to start dissipating. the storm continued losing convection, until it weakened into a well-marked low pressure area on may 23. the remnant system persisted for several more days, moving over the indian state of odisha late on may 25, before dissipating on the following day.
