The South-West Indian Ocean tropical cyclone basin is located to the south of the Equator between Africa and 90°E .[ 1] The basin is officially monitored by Météo-France 's tropical cyclone centre on the island of Reunion (MFR, RSMC La Réunion). In addition, the Mauritius Meteorological Service and the Madagascan Direction Generale de la Meteorologie are classified as subregional tropical cyclone advisory centres and are responsible for monitoring and naming tropical cyclones in consultation with RSMC La Réunion.[ 1] Other meteorological services such as the Australian Bureau of Meteorology , Mauritius Meteorological Service as well as the United States Joint Typhoon Warning Center also monitor the basin.[ 1] Within the basin an intense tropical cyclone is a tropical cyclone that has 10-minute mean maximum sustained wind speeds between 90–115 knots (165–215 km/h; 105–130 mph).[ 1]
