'''Severe Cyclonic Storm Jal''' was the fifth named cyclonic storm and the fourth Severe Cyclonic Storm of the [[2010 North Indian Ocean cyclone season]]. Jal developed from a [[low-pressure area]] in the [[South China Sea]] that organized into a Tropical Depression on {{Nowrap|October 28}}. Jal is a [[Sanskrit]] word, meaning ''water''. At least 54 people are known to have been killed in India.<ref name="india death toll +54" /> As a tropical depression, Jal produced torrential rains over parts of Thailand and Malaysia, triggering severe flooding which killed 59 and four people in the two countries respectively.<ref name="Malaysia deaths reach 4" /> In Sri Lanka, heavy rainfall with strong winds have caused flooding affecting around 80,000 people. In Thailand, Jal was responsible for 78 deaths, being the 4th deadliest tropical cyclone in the country.<ref> | '''Severe Cyclonic Storm Jal''' was the fifth named cyclonic storm and the fourth Severe Cyclonic Storm of the [[2010 North Indian Ocean cyclone season]].

On October 12, a weak [[Tropical cyclone|tropical disturbance]] formed within a [[Trough (meteorology)|monsoonal trough of low pressure]] in the [[South China Sea]], just off the eastern coast of [[Borneo]].<ref name="99wstronger">{{cite web|title=99W.INVEST Intensifying in the Pacific Ocean |url=http://weather.noaa.gov/pub/data/raw/ab/abpw10.pgtw..txt |publisher=[[Joint Typhoon Warning Center]] |accessdate=2 November 2010 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20100808112842/http://weather.noaa.gov/pub/data/raw/ab/abpw10.pgtw..txt |archivedate=August 8, 2010 }}</ref> For the next few weeks, the system stalled on the eastern coast of Bormeo, remaining disorganized, while the system barely affected the island of Borneo at all. During the last week of October, the storm detached from the moonsonal trough, and began slowly moving east. On {{Nowrap|October 29}}, the [[Japan Meteorological Agency]] (JMA) and the [[Joint Typhoon Warning Center]] (JTWC) both reported that the system had begun to develop, already beginning to organize itself, about 550 km (340 mi), to the southeast of [[Ho Chi Minh City]], [[Vietnam]]. During the next few days, the tropical depression strengthened slowly as it slowly moved towards the eastern border of the [[Indian Ocean]]. During this time, convection around the disturbance increased, but failed to organize around the storm's low level circulation center. Despite these unfavorable conditions, the storm managed to develop convection around its [[area of low pressure]], and organized itself significantly. On {{Nowrap|October 31}}, the Thai and Malaysian meteorological departments (TMD) reported that the disturbance had developed into a tropical depression, and initiated advisories on the system. From {{Nowrap|October 31}} continuing into {{Nowrap|November 1}}, the storm strengthened slightly as it continued moving towards the Indian Ocean, but not enough for it to become a tropical storm. Late on {{Nowrap|November 1}}, the tropical depression crossed the [[Malay Peninsula]], and entered the extreme eastern part of the [[Indian Ocean]], causing the west Pacific agencies to cancel all their advisories on the storm, as it was no longer in the west Pacific Ocean.

Early on {{Nowrap|November 12}}, the remnants of Cyclone Jal were completely absorbed by a non-tropical low over the [[Himalayas]]. | ||
