List of South-West Indian Ocean very intense tropical cyclones

In the South-West Indian Ocean, Météo-France's La Réunion tropical cyclone centre (MFR, RSMC La Réunion) monitors all tropical cyclones.

A very intense tropical cyclone (VITC) is the highest category on the South-West Indian Ocean Tropical Cyclone scale, and has winds of over 115 knots (212 kilometres per hour, 132 miles per hour).

The South-West Indian Ocean tropical cyclone basin is located to the south of the Equator between Africa and 90°E.
