Official Regional Specialized Meteorological Centre (RSMC) for the North Indian Ocean basin is IMD New Delhi. They monitor the Tropical Cyclones in the Bay of Bengal and the Arabian Sea. As per RSMC (IMD) BOB03/2007 had not been named then as Tropical Cyclone "YEMYIN" June 25/26 2007.

However, in the 'End of Monsoon Report 2007' IMD states "The Cyclonic Storm, ‘Yemyin’ (25-26 June) formed from the remnants of a Deep Depression which formed over the Bay of Bengal and emerged into the Arabian Sea as a low pressure area after traversing the peninsula. This system moved away north-westwards and crossed Pakistan coast, without affecting the weather over the country."

Hence we can presume that if the ongoing Deep Depression in the Bay of Bengal gains further stregth, it will become named Tropical Cyclone "SIDR", the name contributed by OMAN. There are eight countries who have contributed to the list of North Indian Tropical Cyclones. These countries are Bangala Desh, India, Maldives, Myanmar, Oman, Pakistan, Sri Lanka & Thailand.
