[37], Around March 26, an area of disturbed weather persisted just east of 90° E,[4] associated with a low pressure area. [4] The next day, MFR estimated peak winds of about 55 km/h (35 mph);[28] despite that the system did not intensify into a moderate tropical storm, the Meteorological Service of Madagascar named the depression Julita on February 17. One cyclone â Farah â previously formed in the Australian basin as Tropical Cyclone Pearl before crossing into the south-west Indian Ocean. [29] A large anticyclone to the east caused the system to track generally to the south, and initially wind shear prevented significant strengthening. The next day, Bettina developed an eye feature, and MFR upgraded it to a severe tropical storm,[4] with winds of 110 km/h (70 mph). When Tropical Cyclones Kill More Than 1,000. In February, Cyclone Hollanda struck Mauritius near peak intensity, causing $135 million in damage and two deaths. [4] By late on November 12, Alexina weakened to tropical depression status,[12] which subsequently drifted to the west until dissipating on November 16. The storm turned slightly to the south-west due to the remnants of Kelvina disrupting the ridge, although a west motion resumed after the ridge restrengthened. In 1905 U.S. President Theodore Roosevelt called on … On March 6, the Meteorological Service of Madagascar named the system Kelvina,[4] although the depression did not intensify into a moderate tropical storm until the next day. After briefly emerging into the Mozambique Channel, Geralda crossed southern Madagascar, and it became extratropical on February 8. Activity lasted from mid-November, when Moderate Tropical Storm Alexina formed, until mid-April, when Tropical Cyclone Odille became extratropical. [31], Weakening slightly after peaking in intensity, Cyclone Litanne continued to the west, making landfall near Brickaville in east-central Madagascar at 1600 UTC on March 15. The system moved generally southwestward for much of its duration, steered by a ridge to the south. For most storms the data is taken from TCWC Nadi and Wellingtons archives, however data for 07P and 29P has been taken from the JTWC and the NPMOC archives as opposed to TCWC Nadi, Brisbane and Wellingtons, and thus the winds are over 1-minute as opposed to 10-minutes. At around 1200 UTC on January 13, the cyclone made landfall near Brickaville in eastern Madagascar, with MFR estimating winds of about 155 km/h (100 mph);[4] at around the same time, the JTWC estimated peak winds of 175 km/h (110 mph). Tropical cyclones are named for historical reasons and so as to avoid confusion when communicating with the public, as more than one tropical cyclone can exist at a time. [4] In the capital Antananarivo, Geralda killed 43 people after flooding many houses. [1] During the season the JTWC issued warnings on any tropical cyclone that was located between 160°E and 180° while the NPMOC issued warnings for tropical cyclones forming between the 180° and the American coast. Every six hours in the season, the agency issued bulletins when there was a tropical system within the basin. [11][12] As a result of the windshear, the center became exposed and displaced from the deep convection before the JTWC issued their final advisory on April 25 as 29P weakened into an area of low pressure, before dissipating later that day about 600 km (375 mi) to the southwest of Honiara.[11][12]. Season summary [9] The other two, designated E1 and H1, formed in January and February, respectively. At the time, the storm's eye was 40 km (25 mi) wide, and the wind radius was about 175 km (109 mi) wide. [1] Throughout the season the United States Navy also monitored the basin and issued unofficial warnings, through its Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC) and Naval Western and Oceanography Center (NWOC). Later that day 07P moved across Tonga's northern islands, before the NPMOC issued their final advisory on January 8 as the system weakened into a remnant low.[9][10]. [nb 1] Cyclone Nadia was the second deadliest cyclone, having killed 12 people in northern Madagascar and later severely damaging portions of northeastern Mozambique, killing about 240 people and leaving $20 million in damage in the latter country. [31] A strengthening trough turned Litanne southward over the eastern portion of the country, and the storm dropped heavy rainfall. These dates conventionally delimit the period of each year when most tropical cyclones form in the northwestern Pacific Ocean. [4], In late February, low pressure area developed near the Cocos Islands,[4] associated with the monsoon trough. A narrow eastward-moving trough caused the storm to move generally southward for its entire duration, the only such storm of the season to maintain a largely north-south track. By December 19, Cecilia had weakened to tropical depression status, and dissipated on December 21 after passing west of Réunion. [30] The JTWC began tracking it on March 7, and MFR followed suit the next day,[32] when the system was located about 2,000 km (1,200 mi) east of Litanne. [17] Overall, more than 40,000 homes were destroyed, leaving 356,000 people homeless. During the season, tropical cyclones were officially monitored by the Regional Specialized Meteorological Center (RSMC) in Nadi, Fiji, and the Tropical Cyclone Warning Centers (TCWC) in Brisbane, Australia and Wellington, New Zealand. [29] At around that time, the convection became better organized, extending away from the center to the east. [27] A ridge to the south imparted a general westward movement. Three storms â Alexina, Bettina, and Cecilia â formed in late 1993, of which Cecilia affected land; it produced heavy rainfall in Réunion while dissipating. The storm destroyed over 90 schools and government buildings and damaged the road network. This table lists all the storms that developed in the South Pacific basin during the 1993â94 season. The 1993 Pacific typhoon season has no official bounds; it ran year-round in 1993, but most tropical cyclones tend to form in the northwestern Pacific Ocean between May and November. Thunderstorms increased around the circulation,[4] and later that day, MFR began tracking the system as a tropical depression. Few stocks were pre-positioned, causing food prices to rise greatly. The ridge built behind the trough, causing the depression to stall and drift northward, and by February 22, Farah dissipated. Daisy intensified into a severe tropical storm on January 11, and later into a tropical cyclone the next day. The first, designated Tropical Depression C1,[4] formed on December 5 near the eastern portion of the basin,[8] and quickly dissipated. Around 2000 UTC on March 12, Litanne passed near St. Brandon, and the next day the cyclone passed about 300 km (190 mi) north of Réunion island. [4] The season was the second-most active on record since the start of reliable satellite coverage in 1967. [4] On February 18, the cyclone weakened to tropical storm status, and by the next day was downgraded to tropical depression status. [12] On November 10, the depression intensified into Moderate Tropical Storm Alexina, having developed a central dense overcast.

Severe Tropical Cyclone Ernie was one of the quickest strengthening tropical cyclones on record. 1963 East Pakistan cyclone/1963 Bangladesh cyclone - killed 11,000 people, super cyclonic storm; Pakistan tropical cyclones 1965 - 3 tropical cyclones hit Pakistan in 1965 with each one killing over 1000 people apparently. The 2007–08 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season was the third most active tropical cyclone season, along with the 1985–86 season and behind the 1993–94 season and the 2018–19 season, with twelve named tropical cyclones developing in the region. [4][22] Nationwide, the cyclone killed 231 people and caused over $10 million in damage. It briefly re-intensified on December 1,[14] but dissipated on December 3 south of the Mascarene Islands. [5] The average storm duration was 9 days, although the final storm, Odille, lasted 16 days, a record at the time. Madagascar's capital Antananarivo was flooded, forcing 6,000 people to evacuate. An approaching trough had caused thunderstorms to reform in the eastern portion of the circulation, which resulted in heavy rainfall over Mauritius and later Réunion. [21] Increasing wind shear removed the convection, causing quick weakening. Cyclone Geralda. The cyclone heavily damaged roads and rail lines, which later disrupted relief efforts. [4] Flooding was limited, although high winds severely damaged the rice crop. This table lists all the cyclones that developed in the Indian Ocean, during the 1993â94 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season. [1][2], Early on December 26, the JTWC started to monitor a tropical disturbance that had developed about 575 km (355 mi) to the south-east of Nauru. [4] The cyclone destroyed or severely damaged 450 houses, which left at least 1,500 people homeless. [36] Effects spread as far inland as Malawi. A zerbaijan 1995. A South Pacific tropical cyclone is a non frontal, low pressure system that has developed, within an environment of warm sea surface temperatures and little vertical wind shear aloft in the South Pacific Ocean. During the next day the depression remained broad and poorly organized as it moved towards the southeast. It began weakening shortly after peak intensity, and the structure gradually deteriorated. With the convection gradually organizing, MFR upgraded the system to a tropical depression on February 9 and later to Moderate Tropical Storm Ivy the next day. After initially moving eastward, a ridge turned it to the west,[30] and on March 7, the system crossed 90° E into the south-west Indian Ocean as a developing tropical depression. [4] In addition, Tropical Cyclone Willy crossed into the basin as a dissipating tropical depression, for which MFR did not issue advisories. [4], The intertropical convergence zone spawned a tropical disturbance in the northeast portion of the basin on December 9. [4] The JTWC estimated winds of about 220 km/h (140 mph). [4] The JTWC estimated peak winds of 185 km/h (115 mph) on February 17, around the same time MFR estimated peak winds of 140 km/h (85 mph). [21] About 80% of the city of Toamasina was destroyed, including most schools, homes, and churches. The cyclone … [4] On January 13, MFR began classifying the system as a tropical depression,[18] and following further intensification, the agency upgraded the depression to Moderate Tropical Storm Edmea later that day. [27] The strengthening ridge caused Ivy to slow its motion to the southwest while increased shear caused weakening. [4] Julita affected areas impacted by earlier cyclones Daisy and Geralda, but caused minimal damage and no deaths. Severe Tropical Cyclone Tomas existed from March 19 to March 27. On that island, there was also damage to crops and power lines. Cyclone Aivu. [24], After passing near Rodrigues, Ivy strengthened further, developing a well-defined eye 50 km (31 mi) in diameter, while turning more to the south due to a trough associated with the remnants of Hollanda. Tropical Cyclone Ivy threatened Mauritius just days after Hollanda struck, and Intense Tropical Cyclone Litanne in March was the third of the season to hit northeastern Madagascar. [4], Cyclone Geralda originated from an area of low pressure from the monsoon trough on January 25. [4] On March 8, MFR estimated peak winds of about 85 km/h (50 mph),[29] although further strengthening was prevented by an increase in wind shear. Epidemiology of meningococcal disease in England and Wales 1993/94 to 2003/04: contribution and experiences of the Meningococcal Reference Unit. Mass plays, an offensive strategy that massed players on a single point of the defense—most famously in Harvard’s “flying wedge” formation—had seriously injured nearly 180 players, including 18 who were killed. Forming early on 15 December 1993, the storm moved south and strengthened into a Category 3 before making landfall. [4] Geralda produced wind gusts as strong as 350 km/h (220 mph), which were the highest worldwide for several decades. Severe Tropical Cyclone Rewa affected six countries and caused 22 deaths on its 28-day journey across the South Pacific Ocean in December 1993 and January 1994. Storms were named by advisory centers in Mauritius and Madagascar. The basin is defined as the area west of 90°E and south of the Equator in the Indian Ocean, which includes the waters around Madagascar westward to the east coast of Africa. Late on March 9, MFR upgraded Litanne to a tropical cyclone, after the storm developed a small, well-defined eye 20 km (12 mi) in diameter. On January 10, it intensified into Moderate Tropical Storm Daisy while passing near St. Brandon. [4] On February 10, the cyclone attained peak winds of 155 km/h (100 mph), as assessed by MFR,[23] and that day Hollanda struck the island of Mauritius at that intensity. The 1993–94 South Pacific cyclone season was a near average tropical cyclone season with five tropical cyclones occurring within the South Pacific to the east of 160°E. [5][6][7] Over the next few days, the system gradually intensified under the influence of favourable upper-level winds while it moved towards the south-southwest, passing through the Solomon Islands on December 29 and affecting the southeastern islands of Papua New Guinea. [4][17], Geralda was the second cyclone in as many months to strike eastern Madagascar, after Daisy in January. That day, a trough turned Daisy to the south, and it briefly re-intensified into a tropical storm over warm waters. Severe Tropical Cyclone Aivu was a powerful late-season tropical cyclone that caused extensive damage across parts of Queensland, Australia in April 1989. Naomi was the first cyclone of the 1993/94 season. These dates conventionally delimit the period of each year when most tropical cyclones form in the northwestern Pacific Ocean. Sadly, perhaps the most intense tropical cyclone to make landfall on record, Super Typhoon Haiyan (known as Yolanda in … A trough associated with the stronger Cyclone Hollanda turned the storm to the southwest. Rewa then degenerated into an extratropical cyclone during January 20, with its remnants last noted bringing heavy rain to New Zealand on January 23. The 1993–94 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season was the most active since the start of reliable satellite coverage in 1967, until it was surpassed by the 2018–19 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, 25 years later. [4], The monsoon trough persisted east of the Cocos Islands in early March in the Australian basin, spawning the earlier Cyclone Litanne and the system that would eventually become Mariola. [4][17][21], The monsoon trough remained active, spawning a tropical depression on February 6 south of the Chagos archipelago. The next day, the storm became extratropical, which continued south for several days, eventually degenerating into a trough that influenced the tracks of subsequent tropical cyclones. [4], The intertropical convergence zone spawned a low pressure area south of the Chagos archipelago on January 12, and developed a large area of convection the next day. With the ridge to the south, the storm tracked generally westward for much of its duration. Cyclone Daisy was the first storm in 1994, which struck Madagascar twice and affected many areas that were later struck by Geralda. [39] The next day, the depression was named Odille after it intensified further. [15] While near peak intensity, the storm turned to the southwest and began weakening after wind shear increased. Late on November 25, MFR began classifying the system as a tropical disturbance, and within 12 hours the agency upgraded it to Moderate Tropical Storm Bettina. The 1993 Pacific typhoon season has no official bounds; it ran year-round in 1993, but most tropical cyclones tend to form in the northwestern Pacific Ocean between May and November. Within hours of moving onshore, the system had substantially weakened, and by February 5, Geralda had degenerated into a land depression. It officially started on June 1 and ended on November 30, dates which conventionally delimit the period during which most tropical cyclones form in the Atlantic Ocean. In the year, MFR tracked tropical cyclones south of the equator from the coast of Africa to 90° E.[3] Due to the high activity during the season, MFR issued twice the number of advisories as in the previous year. Initially located within a broader trough, the disturbance gradually became better defined as a distinct system. 2006; 55:887–96. [4], On November 23, the intertropical convergence zone spawned a low pressure area in the far northeastern portion of the basin,[4] which the JTWC assessed as having formed in the western Australian basin. All five people on board are killed, including Rich Snyder, the president of In-N-Out Burger. Cooler and drier air weakened the convection, and Mariola weakened below tropical storm status on March 18. [4] With low wind shear, the storm steadily intensified as it moved to the west,[38] reaching severe tropical cyclone status on April 2 after an eye feature developed. After forming, Rewa moved southwest through the Solomon Islands, crossing the 160th meridian east from the South Pacific basin into the Australian region. An approaching trough turned the storm to the south away from any landmasses, and also increased shear which caused weakening. [16] At landfall, Daisy had a symmetrical cloud pattern 400 km (250 mi) in diameter. [11][12] As the system was classified, it recurved again and started to move slowly towards the northwest, and started to feel the effects of a high amount of vertical windshear. [4] The strengthening was short-lived, and the storm quickly weakened to tropical depression status on December 14. That's it. [2] Tropical cyclones that were located between 160°E and 120°W as well as the Equator and 25°S were monitored by RSMC Nadi while any that were located to the south of 25°S between 160°E and 120°W were monitored by TCWC Wellington. Aree della Conoscenza KidS and TeenS Istruzione-Formazione Best Viewed With GFS! [15] This came as cyclone Gene approached 25°S which marks the edge of RSMC Nadi's area of … It includes their intensity on the Australian Tropical cyclone intensity scale, duration, name, areas affected, deaths, and damages. Warm waters and low wind shear allowed for the storm to gradually strengthen, first into a moderate tropical storm on March 19 and later into a tropical cyclone on March 21. With gusts as strong as 350 km/h (220 mph) accompanied by heavy rainfall, Geralda destroyed more than 40,000 homes and left 356,000 people homeless. Once the low had moved into the Coral Sea it started to rapidly develop further, with both RSMC Nadi and the JTWC reporting early on January 22, that the low had developed into a tropical cyclone, with the latter naming it Sarah. [17], The intertropical convergence zone spawned an area of convection on March 5 off the northeast coast of Madagascar,[4] which was classified by both JTWC and MFR that day. J Med Microbiol. [24] High winds downed about 30% of the island's trees and left half of the island without power.

[24] Hollanda killed two people and caused $135 million in damage on Mauritius. Subsequently, the cyclone weakened while turning more to the south. [6], On April 20, the JTWC started to monitor an area of low pressure that located over the Solomon Islands about 155 km (95 mi) to the north of Honiara. On March 17, Litanne emerged from southeastern Madagascar into the Indian Ocean as a tropical depression,[4] and the next day transitioned into an extratropical cyclone after being absorbed by a nearby trough. Quite the same Wikipedia. The next day, MFR upgraded it to Tropical Storm Litanne. [4][36] The storm struck before the harvest, and lack of food caused 300 deaths in the months after the storm. Ivory Coast 1988. On January 18, a weak low pressure area developed to the north of Fiji, within a trough of low pressure that extended from a weakening Cyclone Rewa to the northwest of Fiji. (TWC) – As Tropical Cyclone Fani moves into northeastern India and Bangladesh this week, it’s a reminder of the tragic history of tropical cyclones in the Bay of Bengal, including one that killed hundreds of thousands of people. It was named Pearl a few hours later by the Bureau of Meteorology. [4] With warm sea surface temperatures, Litanne intensified into an intense tropical cyclone by late on March 10, although it subsequently weakened slightly. The 1993 Atlantic hurricane season was a below average Atlantic hurricane season that produced ten tropical cyclones and eight tropical storms, four hurricanes, and one major hurricane. Severe Tropical Cyclone Theodore existed from February 26 to March 3. [4] On November 11, MFR estimated that Alexina attained peak winds of 85 km/h (55 mph), while JTWC estimated peak winds of 110 km/h (70 mph). [35] Cyclone Nadia severely affected four provinces in the country, primarily Nampula Province where it moved ashore. After developing a well-defined eye, Nadia intensified to reach winds of 175 km/h (110 mph) early on March 22, according to MFR. The islands reported high surf but little effects. [38], On April 4, Odille began redeveloping convection and re-intensified into a moderate tropical storm, after entering an area of more favorable conditions. The next day, the storm became extratropical, which lasted three more days until it was absorbed by the cold front.[4]. It includes their intensity, duration, name, landfalls, deaths, and damages. ... Tanzania 1993. Steady weakening occurred as Odille accelerated and experienced increasing shear, weakening below tropical cyclone status on April 13. [4], While moving across the island, Hollanda produced wind gusts of 216 km/h (134 mph) in the capital city of Port Louis, while heavy rainfall reached 711 mm (28.0 in) in Mare aux Vacoas. The 1993–94 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season was the most active since the start of reliable satellite coverage in 1967, until it was surpassed by the 2018–19 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, 25 years later. The 1993–94 South Pacific cyclone season was a near average tropical cyclone season with five tropical cyclones occurring within the South Pacific to the east of 160°E.The season officially ran from November 1, 1993, to April 30, 1994, with the first disturbance of the season forming on December 26 and the last disturbance dissipating on April 25. On February 16, the storm passed about 40 km (25 mi) south of Juan de Nova Island, producing gusts of 75 km/h (47 mph). K yrgyzstan 1993. There was moderate damage and a fishing boat was disabled during the storm. [27], In the middle of February, the monsoon trough persisted over the Mozambique Channel and spawned a circulation on February 15 to the west of Juan de Nova Island. [4] At that time, MFR estimated winds of about 120 km/h (75 mph). It officially started on June 1 and ended on November 30, dates which conventionally delimit the period during which most tropical cyclones form in the Atlantic Ocean. [4] MFR estimated peak winds of 115 km/h (70 mph), and JTWC estimated peak winds of 165 km/h (105 mph). [4][8] As it moved through the Solomon Islands, Rewa moved out of the South Pacific basin and into the Australian region.[5]. [nb 3], On July 1, 1993, the Météo-France office in Réunion (MFR) became a Regional Specialized Meteorological Center, as designated by the World Meteorological Organization. [4] MFR estimated peak winds of 195 km/h (120 mph) on March 14. By the following day, convection reorganized and the storm re-strengthened, first to severe tropical storm status on February 15 and then to tropical cyclone status the next day. The 1994 Atlantic hurricane season produced seven named tropical cyclones and three hurricanes, a total below the Atlantic hurricane seasonaverage. On March 10, the MFR estimated the system became a tropical depression once it developed a central dense overcast,[4] and that night the system crossed into the basin as a moderate tropical storm, making it one of three concurrent storms, along with Kelvina and Litanne. [4], The origins of Cyclone Ivy were from a disturbance that the JTWC began tracking on February 6 in the Australian basin. Turning to the southeast on January 18, Edmea became extratropical the following day and was later absorbed by the trough. By April 6, the system had weakened to a tropical disturbance with a poorly defined center,[4] which was dislocated from the remainder of the convection. [nb 4][12] Increased wind shear disrupted the convection, while a building ridge to the south caused its movement to slow. On April 10, Odille intensified into a tropical cyclone while moving slowly around a ridge. After affecting New Caledonia, Rewa weakened into a tropical depression and moved towards the northwest over the next few days, before re-entering the Australian basin during January 10 and started to show signs of reintensification. [4], Damage was heaviest in Mozambique, estimated at about $20 million. The 1993â94 South Pacific cyclone season was a near average tropical cyclone season with five tropical cyclones occurring within the South Pacific to the east of 160°E. You could also do it yourself at any point in time. A trough turned Hollanda to the east on February 13, and the next day the storm became extratropical. Initially the system did not develop,[4] and MFR did not classify it until December 12. Severe Tropical Cyclone Marcia was a powerful tropical cyclone that made landfall at its peak strength over central Queensland, near Shoalwater Bay on 20 February 2015. RSMC Nadi and TCWC Wellington both used the Australian Tropical Cyclone Intensity Scale, and measured windspeeds over a 10-minute period during the season, while the JTWC and the NPMOC measured sustained windspeeds over a 1 -minute period. [33] On March 23, the cyclone struck northern Madagascar, causing flooding and localized damage where it moved ashore. [16], When Daisy struck Madagascar, it produced 200 km/h (120 mph) wind gusts on Ãle Sainte-Marie, along with heavy rainfall. Several countries and departments of the United Nations donated money or supplies to the country. This rough m ethod suggests that 22% of the . [4], In early January, the intertropical convergence zone persisted off the northeast coast of Madagascar, spawning a low pressure area on January 6. Over the next few days the cyclone continued to move to the south-east towards the South Pacific basin, before as it peaked in intensity on January 16 as a category 5 severe tropical cyclone, Rewa turned and started to move towards the south-west.
