An area of disturbed weather first formed east of the Malay Peninsula on April 26. It slowly consolidated, and the Thai Meteorological Department (TMD) designated the active low pressure area as a tropical depression on May 1 in the Gulf of Thailand. Moving westwards, it made landfall in the coastal areas of Chumphon, and then moved into the Andaman Sea. The system strengthened slightly, and late on May 3, the India Meteorological Department (IMD) designated it as a depression. It then began to move northwards, and in the morning of May 5, it made a second landfall on the coast of Rakhine State in Myanmar. The system weakened into an area of low pressure shortly after, and the IMD issued its last bulletin.
