The final storm of the season was Tropical Depression Fely, which dropped moderate rainfall in eastern Madagascar in late June.

[2][3] There were six storms named by the weather service in Madagascar or Mauritius, with advisories issued by Météo-France's meteorological office at Réunion (MFR).

[1] At the time, the MFR area of warning responsibility was from the coast of Africa to 80° E, and the agency primarily used the Dvorak technique to estimate the intensities of tropical cyclones.

[4] The Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC), which is a joint United States Navy – United States Air Force task force that issues tropical cyclone warnings for the region,[5] also tracked a short-lived tropical storm in February, which formed on February 5 northeast of Mauritius.

The system tracked to the southeast, reaching peak winds of 65 km/h (40 mph) before dissipating on February 8 northwest of Rodrigues.

[6] A disturbance in the South Indian convergence zone near Seychelles persisted on October 24 with an area of convection.

Haven received the name Bemany, the storm gradually intensified; the JTWC upgraded it to the equivalent of minimal hurricane status on December 3, and the next day MFR estimated peak winds of 115 km/h (70 mph).

With an area of high pressure to the southeast, the depression moved to the northeast and was named Clera, after a Dvorak rating of 2.5.

Given the name Dadafy, the storm slowly intensified, reaching peak winds of 95 km/h (60 mph) according to MFR on December 26.

[12] The South Indian convergence zone spawned a circulation that organized into a tropical depression in the Mozambique Channel on January 9.

The next day, JTWC upgraded the storm to the equivalent of a minimal hurricane, although land interaction with Mozambique weakened Elinah.

After it turned to the south and moved away from the coast, the storm re-intensified, and MFR estimated Elinah reached peak winds of 115 km/h (70 mph) on January 14.

[14] The final system of the year formed as a weak tropical depression on June 22 to the north of a powerful anticyclone.
