Ivory Coast 1988. Odille developed a well-defined eye 45 km (28 mi) in diameter, and MFR estimated peak winds of 175 km/h (110 mph),[4] while the JTWC estimated winds of 195 km/h (120 mph). [24] Hollanda killed two people and caused $135 million in damage on Mauritius. [15] After initially tracking to the southwest, Cecilia turned to the west on December 15 due to a strengthening ridge to the south, by which time it had restrengthened and developed a central dense overcast. Cyclone Rewa developed from a tropical disturbance on 28 December south of Nauru. [4] The JTWC estimated winds of 150 km/h (90 mph) on April 3, equivalent to a strong Category 1 hurricane,[39] although subsequently Odille weakened after turning to the northwest and experiencing increased wind shear. [17] Many of the same areas affected by Daisy were later affected by Geralda in February. [19] As the system moved west of 90°E, MFR took over warning responsibility on January 18 and renamed the cyclone Farah. 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. 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. 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. [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. Subsequently, the cyclone weakened while turning more to the south. [4][8] As it moved through the Solomon Islands, Rewa moved out of the South Pacific basin and into the Australian region.[5]. An Australian region 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 either the Southern Indian Ocean or the South Pacific Ocean. 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] 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). [16] At landfall, Daisy had a symmetrical cloud pattern 400 km (250 mi) in diameter. ... Tanzania 1993. [4][22] Nationwide, the cyclone killed 231 people and caused over $10 million in damage. Epidemiology of meningococcal disease in England and Wales 1993/94 to 2003/04: contribution and experiences of the Meningococcal Reference Unit. Geralda killed 231 people and caused more than $10 million in damage. [11] During that day the disturbance moved towards the southeast and passed over several of the Solomon Islands, before emerging into the Australian basin. [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. 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. [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. In the latter island, the rainfall was heaviest in the northern portion, peaking at 475 mm (18.7 in) in Salazie in 24 hours; the same station recorded 286 mm (11.3 in) in a 6-hour period, including 47 mm (1.9 in) in just 30 minutes. By comparison, the JTWC estimated winds of 100 km/h (65 mph). 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. Severe Tropical Cyclone Theodore existed from February 26 to March 3. When Tropical Cyclones Kill More Than 1,000. This table lists all the cyclones that developed in the Indian Ocean, during the 1993–94 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season. [4] On February 18, the cyclone weakened to tropical storm status, and by the next day was downgraded to tropical depression status. The next seasons to approach either total were the 2001–02 and 2018–19 seasons. High winds caused widespread power outages, left areas without water, and significantly damaged crops, notably the cashew crop. [4] It formed in tandem with two tropical depressions in the North Indian Ocean. [4] The strengthening was short-lived, and the storm quickly weakened to tropical depression status on December 14. Season summary [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. 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. 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. After briefly emerging into the Mozambique Channel, Geralda crossed southern Madagascar, and it became extratropical on February 8. [4] Geralda was the strongest of the season and the strongest to hit Madagascar since a cyclone in March 1927. [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. The cyclone turned to the southwest due to a trough from the remnants of Kelvina. [28] Despite warm air temperatures, the system did not develop a warm core like most tropical cyclones as it moved to the southeast. [21] Increasing wind shear removed the convection, causing quick weakening. The first, designated Tropical Depression C1,[4] formed on December 5 near the eastern portion of the basin,[8] and quickly dissipated. [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. [4] Flooding was limited, although high winds severely damaged the rice crop. The storm turned southward through the country, emerging over water on March 26. [4], On January 11, a tropical low formed northwest of Broome, Western Australia. It weakened as its structure deteriorated, and Julita moved ashore in western Madagascar near Morondava early on February 18. On March 12, a small eye feature developed, indicating the storm was near tropical cyclone intensity. The next day, the depression dissipated north of Reunion. On March 30, it became a tropical depression,[4] and that day crossed into the basin. 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]. It began weakening shortly after peak intensity, and the structure gradually deteriorated. Several countries and departments of the United Nations donated money or supplies to the country. 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. Gray SJ, Trotter CL, Ramsay ME, Guiver M, Fox AJ, Borrow R, et al. Severe Tropical Cyclone Aivu was a powerful late-season tropical cyclone that caused extensive damage across parts of Queensland, Australia in April 1989. 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. Over the next few days the cyclone moved towards the north north-west and started to affect Papua New Guinea for the second time before it was renamed Rewa during January 13 while it recurved and started to move towards the south-west. On March 10, Kelvina passed near Reunion, where it dropped heavy rainfall. Over the next few days, the cyclone gradually weakened while it moved towards the south-west and a predicted landfall near Mackay in Queensland. Its initial strengthening rate slowed until Edmea reached peak winds of 95 km/h (60 mph) on January 17. 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.

The next day, the disturbance crossed into the south-west Indian Ocean, and on February 8, MFR began tracking it. [39] Located north of an anticyclone, the system tracked slowly to the south before curving to the west. A trough turned Hollanda to the east on February 13, and the next day the storm became extratropical. With the ridge to the south, the storm tracked generally westward for much of its duration. The next day, MFR upgraded it to Tropical Storm Litanne. [27] The strengthening ridge caused Ivy to slow its motion to the southwest while increased shear caused weakening. [15] This came as cyclone Gene approached 25°S which marks the edge of RSMC Nadi's area of … Obituaries can vary in the amount of information they contain, but many of them are genealogical goldmines, including information such as: names, dates, place of birth and death, marriage information, and family relationships. At the time, the storm's eye was 40 km (25 mi) wide, and the wind radius was about 175 km (109 mi) wide. [4] Early on December 28, TCWC Nadi started to monitor the disturbance as a tropical depression. Cyclone Geralda. During the next day the depression remained broad and poorly organized as it moved towards the southeast. It began on November 15, 2007, and ended on April 30, 2008, with the exception for Mauritius and the Seychelles, which ended May 15. [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. The next day, the storm became extratropical, which lasted three more days until it was absorbed by the cold front.[4]. Subsequently, the storm turned more to the west, and Litanne restrengthened into an intense tropical cyclone while approaching the eastern coastline of Madagascar. The next day, the system developed into a tropical disturbance, which initially moved to the east due to high pressure to the south. [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. Severe Tropical Cyclone Tomas existed from March 19 to March 27. J Med Microbiol. [4], In early January, the intertropical convergence zone persisted off the northeast coast of Madagascar, spawning a low pressure area on January 6. Storms were named by advisory centers in Mauritius and Madagascar. [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. In 1905 U.S. President Theodore Roosevelt called on … After developing a well-defined eye, Nadia intensified to reach winds of 175 km/h (110 mph) early on March 22, according to MFR. A zerbaijan 1995. Steady weakening occurred as Odille accelerated and experienced increasing shear, weakening below tropical cyclone status on April 13. The next day, JTWC estimated that Cecilia intensified to reach winds of 160 km/h (100 mph). All five people on board are killed, including Rich Snyder, the president of In-N-Out Burger. [11] On April 24, as it moved back into the South Pacific basin, the JTWC initiated advisories on the disturbance, designating it as Tropical Cyclone 29P, with peak windspeeds equivalent to a tropical depression. 2006; 55:887–96. Cooler and drier air weakened the convection, and Mariola weakened below tropical storm status on March 18. It includes their intensity on the Australian Tropical cyclone intensity scale, duration, name, areas affected, deaths, and damages. [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. There were no deaths. 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. 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. [35] Across Mozambique, Nadia directly caused 240 deaths and injured thousands. An approaching trough turned the storm to the south away from any landmasses, and also increased shear which caused weakening. The source code for the WIKI 2 extension is being checked by specialists of the Mozilla Foundation, Google, and Apple. 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. The islands reported high surf but little effects. The deadliest U.S. hurricane was the 1900 Galveston hurricane, which killed an estimated 8,000 people. High wind shear caused rapid weakening, and by January 19, there was little remaining convection. 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. [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. On January 8, the system developed a curved area of convection, which later developed into a central dense overcast. [20] After having moved westward due to a ridge to the south, Farah turned to the south upon entering the basin due to an approaching trough, which previously absorbed Edmea. The high mountains of Madagascar caused the storm to quickly weaken, although it emerged into the Mozambique Channel as a tropical disturbance on January 15. The 1994 North Indian Ocean cyclone season was a below-average year in which eight tropical cyclones affected seven countries bordering the North Indian Ocean.The India Meteorological Department tracks all tropical cyclones in the basin, north of the equator.The first system developed on March 21 in the Bay of Bengal, the first March storm in the basin since 1938. The next day, it intensified into an intense tropical cyclone while passing near St. Brandon and turning to the southeast due to an approaching trough. It was named Pearl a few hours later by the Bureau of Meteorology. [36] Effects spread as far inland as Malawi. [34] Nadia emerged into the Mozambique Channel as a weakened storm, although it reintensified slightly before making landfall in northeastern Mozambique on March 24. [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. The storm destroyed over 90 schools and government buildings and damaged the road network. 1993–94 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, 1993–94 Australian region cyclone season, Regional Specialized Meteorological Center, Australian Tropical Cyclone Intensity Scale, Australian Tropical cyclone intensity scale, "Tropical Cyclone Operational Plan for the South Pacific and South-East Indian Ocean", "JTWC Tropical Cyclone 05P (Rewa) Best Track Analysis", "The South Pacific and Southeast Indian Ocean Tropical Cyclone Season 1993–94", "TCWC Wellington Best Track Data 1967–2006", "Weekly tropical cyclone summary #127 (January 2  - 9, 1994)", "Tropical Cyclone 07P Best Track Analysis", "Tropical Cyclone 29P Best Track Analysis", "Weekly Tropical Cyclone Summary #140 (April 3 - 10, 1994)", 1990–1999 South Pacific cyclone seasons, https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=1993–94_South_Pacific_cyclone_season&oldid=960514787#Severe_Tropical_Cyclone_Theodore, Articles with dead external links from September 2020, Articles with permanently dead external links, Articles which contain graphical timelines, Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License, Category 3 severe tropical cyclone (Australian scale), Category 4 severe tropical cyclone (Australian scale), Category 2 tropical cyclone (Australian scale), This page was last edited on 3 June 2020, at 11:10. [35] Cyclone Nadia severely affected four provinces in the country, primarily Nampula Province where it moved ashore. On December 17, MFR upgraded the storm toa severe tropical storm,[4] with winds of 100 km/h (65 mph) according to MFR. [38] That day, the JTWC began tracking the system. [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. The storm quickly intensified, developing an eye feature within its central dense overcast by late on March 8. 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. Due to the high number of storms, there were a record number of cyclone days – days in which a tropical cyclone is active – as well as intense tropical cyclone days, with a total of 27 days for the latter. On that island, there was also damage to crops and power lines. [6] MFR had an alphabetically prepared list of names for the season, the last seven of which went unused: Pemma, Ronna, Sydna, Telia, Valentina, Williana, and Yvanna. Over the next few days the low moved towards the west and passed between the Vanuation islands of Vila and Santo on January 21. [4][17][21], The monsoon trough remained active, spawning a tropical depression on February 6 south of the Chagos archipelago. 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. Tropical cyclones that occur within the Northern Hemisphere between the anti-meridian and 100°E, are officially monitored by the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA, RSMC Tokyo). [31] A strengthening trough turned Litanne southward over the eastern portion of the country, and the storm dropped heavy rainfall. It officially started on June 1 and ended on November 30, dates which conventionally limit the period during which most tropical cyclones form in the Atlantic Ocean. [13] The next day cyclone Gene started to temporarily weaken again by becoming a category two cyclone with winds speeds of 95 km/h (60 mph 10 min). [17] Overall, more than 40,000 homes were destroyed, leaving 356,000 people homeless. 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). [21] About 80% of the city of Toamasina was destroyed, including most schools, homes, and churches. 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. 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. [4][36] The storm struck before the harvest, and lack of food caused 300 deaths in the months after the storm. The 1993 Atlantic hurricane season was a below average Atlantic hurricane season that produced eight tropical cyclones and tropical storms, four hurricanes, and one major hurricane. [12] On November 10, the depression intensified into Moderate Tropical Storm Alexina, having developed a central dense overcast. [4] The JTWC estimated winds of about 220 km/h (140 mph). 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. For much of its track, Litanne moved generally to the west-southwest, to the north of a large ridge. [25] Hollanda also caused severe crop damage; nearly half of the island's sugar crop was destroyed, which necessitated for the government to assist in replanting efforts. Four tropical cyclones – Daisy, Geralda, Litanne, and Nadia – struck eastern Madagascar, of which Geralda was the costliest and deadliest. [4], Damage was heaviest in Mozambique, estimated at about $20 million. [4] Although the JTWC upgraded Ivy to the equivalent of a minimal hurricane on February 12, MFR estimated the storm weakened slightly,[27] due to wind shear obscuring the center.
