the storm Jefotra, while the JTWC designated it as Tropical Cyclone 27S. On March 28, the JTWC upgraded Jefotra to the equivalent of a minimal hurricane, and on the next day, the MFR upgraded the storm to tropical cyclone status. On March 29, Jefotra attained its peak intensity; the JTWC estimated 1 minute winds of 195 km/h (120 mph), and the MFR estimated 10 minute winds of 135 km/h (85 mph). By that time, the motion shifted more to the southwest, bringing it 400 km (250 mi) east of Rodrigues; winds on the island remained less than 74 km/h (46 mph). The storm gradually weakened to tropical depression status by April 2. That day, an approaching cold front turned Jefotra to the southeast, and the storm became extratropical. On April 5, the circulation dissipated within the cold front.

ridge to the south, crossing 90° E into the south-west Indian Ocean on May 9. At that time, the Mauritius Meteorological Service renamed the storm Lila. The storm curved more to the south due to an approaching trough, Early on May 10, the MFR estimated peak winds of 135 km/h (85 mph), and the JTWC estimated peak 1 minute winds of 165 km/h (105 mph). Shortly thereafter, Lila crossed 90° E back into the Australian basin, where it was renamed Billy. The storm intensified further before weakening steadily due to wind shear, all while accelerating to the southeast. The circulation eventually crossed the

Meteorological Service named it Erinesta. Its track shifted to a slow west-southwest trajectory while intensifying. The JTWC upgraded the storm to the equivalent of a minimal hurricane on February 1, and the MFR upgraded Erinesta to tropical cyclone status on the next day. On February 4, the cyclone attained peak winds, becoming one of the strongest storms in the basin in several decades. The JTWC estimated peak 1 minute winds of 215 km/h (135 mph), and the MFR estimated peak winds of 170 km/h (105 mph). Shortly after Erinesta reached peak intensity, it passed within 20 km (12 mi) of

Service. Also on February 6, the JTWC classified it as Tropical Cyclone 14S. Initially the storm moved to the west, although Filomena turned southeastward into an area of low pressure. The storm never intensified beyond winds of 65 km/h (40 mph) according to the MFR. However, the JTWC estimated 1 minute winds of 100 km/h (60 mph). Filomena gradually weakened as it progress southward. On February 11, the system turned westward and later northwest due to a ridge to the south, having weakened into a tropical depression. Filomena dissipated on the next day.

Mauritius Meteorological Service renamed it Krisostoma. The MFR estimated peak winds of 95 km/h (60 mph), much less than the JTWC 1 minute estimate of 160 km/h (100 mph). An eastward area of low pressure turned the storm to the southeast, crossing back into the Australian basin on April 13. On the next day, the storm dissipated. The JTWC analyzed the end of Krisostoma as turning back to the west-southwest without exiting the south-west Indian Ocean.
1370: 1218: 1185:, and it later brought gusts of 158 km/h (98 mph) on Tromelin Island. However, effects were worst in Madagascar, especially in Toamasina near where the storm made landfall. Damage spread along 800 km (500 mi) of the coastline and reached 100 km (60 mi) inland from the landfall point, with many towns severely affected. In Toamasina, the cyclone damaged the main port, the airport, and several warehouses, resulting in $ 17 million (1986  1006: 334: 747: 1099: 1461: 612:
Also on January 8, the JTWC began classifying the storm as Tropical Cyclone 06S. That day, Berobia began moving to the west-northwest, due to the strengthening ridge to the south. On January 9, the storm attained peak winds of 85 km/h (55 mph) according to the MFR; the JTWC estimated a slightly higher 1 minute peak of 95 km/h (60 mph). Late on January 9, Berobia made landfall about 125 km (75 mi) north of
547: 830: 460: 940: 555: 1304: 1226: 1059:. According to the MFR, Gista became extratropical that night, although the JTWC continued tracking it for several more days. According to the JTWC, Gista intensified to the equivalent of a minimal hurricane on February 22 to the southwest of Madagascar, and the next day reached peak 1 minute winds of 160 km/h (100 mph). Gista accelerated to the southeast and dissipated late on February 24 in the westerlies. 1014: 653: 645: 879:, briefly threatening to strike Réunion. However, a ridge built behind the trough, bringing the storm between the east coast of Madagascar and the Mascarene Islands. Erinesta gradually weakened, passing west of Réunion as a severe tropical storm on February 7. The storm accelerated to the south-southeast and later became extratropical, dissipating on February 11 within the westerlies. 698:. Later that day, the Madagascar Meteorological Service named it Costa, and the JTWC labeled it Tropical Cyclone 05S. It moved eastward and later turned to the southeast, passing near Agaléga before weakening while moving into the ITCZ. Another circulation formed to the east of Costa, and the original circulation dissipated on January 9. The new center moved to the west-southwest toward 886:, with peak winds estimated as high as 250 km/h (155 mph). The high winds damaged every building and scientific instrument on the island. The passage of the storm killed Tromelin's entire rabbit population. Along the east coast of Madagascar, Erinesta produced 83 km/h (52 mph) wind gusts and 24‑hour rainfall of 64.8 mm (2.55 in) at 792:, and organized enough for MFR to designate it Tropical Storm Delifina on January 10. On the same day, the JTWC upgraded the storm to the equivalent of a minimal hurricane. The storm moved generally southward, after an initial westward movement. Delifina gradually intensified, becoming a tropical cyclone on January 13. By that time, the storm had an 710:, although it re-attained its former peak on the next day while accelerating southeastward. Costa thereafter weakened rapidly and moved erratically toward the southwest. By January 15, it deteriorated into a minimal tropical storm, and meandered for several days. On January 19, Costa dissipated within the flow of the westerlies. 1055:

An area of low pressure persisted in the northeast portion of the basin toward the end of March. On March 27, a tropical depression formed to the southeast of Diego Garcia. The system moved west-southwestward, quickly intensifying into a tropical storm. The Mauritius Meteorological Center named

On January 12, Costa intensified into a moderate tropical storm. On the next day, the JTWC upgraded it to the equivalent of a minimal hurricane, and the MFR estimated peak winds of 95 km/h (60 mph). Costa weakened briefly on January 14 while passing about 100 km (60 mi)

When Costa formed, it passed near Agaléga, producing wind gusts of 145 km/h (90 mph). The storm approached St. Brandon twice; on its first passage, Costa produced gusts of 91 km/h (57 mph) during a strong rainband. Later, the storm dropped 64 mm (2.5 in) of rainfall on

On May 4, a monsoonal low developed southwest of Sumatra in the Australian basin. It moved to the southeast and intensified into a tropical storm on May 5, given the name Billy. That day, the JTWC classified the system as Tropical Cyclone 32S. The storm turned to the southwest due to a

toward the center. That day, the system reached peak winds of 65 km/h (40 mph), and the Madagascar Meteorological Service named it Alifredy. The storm moved quickly southeastward toward Madagascar. High pressures to the south prevented much development, and Alifredy moved ashore near
702:, although it was disorganized, dissipating on January 11. A third circulation formed on the previous day to the east, becoming a tropical depression with well-organized rainbands. This third system would last the longest, originally moving to the northeast before curving southeastward. 693:
Tropical Storm Costa was a series of three different tropical depressions within the same broader system that persisted for 12 days east of Madagascar, all given the same name. The first circulation formed on January 7 between the northeast coast of Madagascar and
