This article is extremely well-written. However, I did find a handful of minor issues. LightandDark2000 🌀 (talk) 14:21, 3 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Lead
  • Intense Tropical Cyclone Berguitta was a strong tropical cyclone which caused catastrophic flooding in Mauritius and Réunion in January 2018. There is no comma used (or needed), so "which" should be changed to "that".
  • The third system and first Intense Tropical Cyclone of the 2017–18 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, I won't make this one a requirement, but I would suggest changing "system" to "tropical system".
  • as it moved southwards Change "southwards" to "southward".
  • Berguitta then rapidly intensified to achieve its peak intensity on 15 January while stalling north of Rodrigues. Add a comma after "15 January".
  • A weakening trend commenced as Berguitta began crawling west-southwest on 16 January and the cyclone degraded to a tropical storm by 17 January. Add a comma after "16 January".
  • as it accelerated southwest Change "southwest" to "southwestward".
  • before degenerating to a post-tropical cyclone on 19 January as environmental conditions became more hostile. Add a comma after "19 January".
  • later transitioned to an extratropical cyclone Change "to" to "into".
  • then affected Mauritius's main island The main island should be named and have its article linked.
    Never mind. It appears that the main island has the same name and shares the same article. LightandDark2000 🌀 (talk) 14:21, 3 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • More protests ensued several months later when families were evicted from evacuation centres before receiving houses that the government had promised them. Add a comma after "several months later".
  • was particularly hard hit Hard-hit should be hyphenated.

  • No issues here. However, I would recommend archiving some of the news article sources.

@LightandDark2000: I have issues with many of your comma recommendations as most of them aren't necessary and serve to break the flow of the prose. I should be done with everything else, though. ~ KN2731 {talk · contribs} 10:56, 4 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
