Notes

[edit]
  1. ^ UTC+04:00 is the time zone used by Réunion,[1] where the official tropical cyclone warning center for the South-West Indian Ocean is.[2]
  2. ^ Tropical Cyclone is a designation used by Meteo-France to describe cyclones which have sustained wind speeds between 118 and 165 km/h.
  3. ^ Cyclone Irving later entered the South-West Indian Ocean on January 6 at 12:00 UTC. Meteo-France's best track data tracks Irving throughout its lifetime.[5]
