Tropical cyclones in the Comoros Islands

The Comoros Islands are an archipelago in the Mozambique Channel, located in the South Indian Ocean between Madagascar and southeastern Africa.

The islands include the country of Comoros as well as the French overseas department of Mayotte.

After cyclones struck in December 1904 and 1905, another famine occurred in the islands, killing 490 people.

In January 1983, Severe Tropical Storm Elinah killed 33 people from high winds and floods.

Due to their low latitude, the islands are rarely affected by tropical cyclones.
