Cyclone Nargis (风暴:那吉斯)(JTWC designation: 01B, also known as Very Severe Cyclonic Storm Nargis) was the first tropical cyclone to make landfall on Myanmar (formerly Burma) since Cyclone Mala in 2006. The first named storm of the 2008 North Indian Ocean cyclone season, Nargis developed on April 27 in the central Bay of Bengal. Initially it tracked slowly northwestward, and encountering favorable conditions it quickly strengthened. Dry air weakened the cyclone on April 29, though after beginning a steady eastward motion Nargis rapidly intensified to attain peak winds of at least 165 km/h (105 mph) on May 2; the Joint Typhoon Warning Center assessed peak winds of 215 km/h (135 mph). The cyclone moved ashore in the Ayeyarwady Division of Myanmar near peak intensity, and after passing near the major city of Yangon, the storm gradually weakened until dissipating near the border of Myanmar and Thailand. Myanmar was very severely affected by the cyclone, with over 10,000 people believed dead.
