1990–91 South Pacific cyclone season
The 1990–91 South Pacific cyclone season was one of the least active tropical cyclone seasons on record, with only two tropical cyclones occurring within the South Pacific basin to the east of 160°E. The season officially ran from November 1, 1990 to April 30, 1991, with the first disturbance of the season forming on November 23, 1990, before the last disturbance dissipated during May 19, 1991. During the season there was no deaths recorded from any of the tropical cyclones while they were within the basin. However six people were killed by Cyclone Joy, when it made landfall on Australia. As a result of the impacts caused by Joy and Sina, the names were retired from the tropical cyclone naming lists.


1990–91 South Pacific cyclone season
During the season, tropical cyclones were monitored by the Fiji Meteorological Service and the New Zealand MetService, while other meteorological services such as the Australian Bureau of Meteorology, Meteo France as well as the United States Joint Typhoon Warning Center and Naval Western Oceanography Center (NWOC) also monitored the basin. The JTWC issued warnings between 160°E and the International Date Line, while the NWOC issued warnings for tropical cyclones forming between the International Date Line and the coasts of the Americas.


1990–91 South Pacific cyclone season
Both the JTWC and the NWOC designated tropical cyclones with a number and either a P suffix with numbers assigned in order to tropical cyclones developing within the whole of the Southern Hemisphere. The FMS, MetService and the BoM all used the Australian Tropical Cyclone Intensity Scale and estimate wind speeds over a ten-minute period, while the JTWC estimated sustained winds over a one-minute period, which are subsequently compared to the Saffir–Simpson hurricane wind scale (SSHWS).


1990–91 South Pacific cyclone season, Seasonal summary
As a result of the South Pacific Convergence Zone being both weaker and located further to the north than in previous seasons and the Madden–Julian oscillations being weaker and less regular defined than in previous tropical cyclone seasons. As a result, only three tropical cyclones occurred within the South Pacific basin between 160°E and 120°W, which made the season one of the least active on record. The first tropical cyclone was first noted as a shallow depression on November 20 before it was named Sina on November 24 after it had intensified into a tropical cyclone.


1990–91 South Pacific cyclone season, Seasonal summary
After peaking as a category three severe tropical cyclone on the Australian tropical cyclone intensity scale, Sina affected Fiji, Tonga, Niue and the Southern Cook Islands with total damage estimated at over 18.5 million before it was last noted on December 4, as it was absorbed by an advancing trough of low pressure near 50°S. During December 15, the precursor tropical low to Cyclone Joy developed near the Solomon Islands. Over the next two days, the system moved westwards before it moved into the Australian region during December 17. The system was subsequently named Joy on December 19, before it made landfall on Queensland during December 26.


1990–91 South Pacific cyclone season, Seasonal summary
The basin then remained quiet until March when three significant tropical depressions including 15 and 16P were observed within the Coral Sea/Australian region, which did not develop into tropical cyclones but were subject to gale warnings. 15P was first noted on March 3, while it was located about 900 km (560 mi) to the east of the Solomon Islands and over the next couple of days subsequently moved south-westwards and out of the South Pacific basin during the next day.


1990–91 South Pacific cyclone season, Seasonal summary
16P was first noted on March 14, while located about 300 km (185 mi) to the southeast of Honiara in the Solomon Islands. Over the next couple of days the system moved towards the south-east before the JTWC designated the system 16P and initiated advisories on it during March 18 after it had moved into the South Pacific basin. Over the next couple of days the system, moved towards the south-southeast before it turned towards the southwest and passed over New Caledonia on March 20, before it was last noted during the next day moving out of the basin.


1990–91 South Pacific cyclone season, Seasonal summary
The final tropical cyclone of the season, Lisa, moved into the Southern Pacific on May 11 at its peak intensity of 110 km/h (75 mph). During the next day as the storm moved towards the subtropical jet, Lisa rapidly weakened into a tropical depression before passing over Anatom Island without causing any significant damage. After the season both the names Sina and Joy were retired from the naming lists for the region, while it was determined that a weak gale force tropical cyclone had affected Tonga between December 14–17.


1990–91 South Pacific cyclone season, Systems, Severe Tropical Cyclone Sina
On November 20, the FMS started to monitor a shallow tropical depression that had developed within the South Pacific Convergence Zone to the west of Wallis Island. Over the next three days the system moved towards the west-northwest and the Fijian dependency of Rotuma, before the JTWC initiated advisories and classified the depression as Tropical Cyclone 03P during November 24. TCWC Nadi subsequently named the system Sina after the depression had developed into a category 1 tropical cyclone on the Australian scale, while it was located about 425 km (265 mi) to the northwest of Rotuma.


1990–91 South Pacific cyclone season, Systems, Severe Tropical Cyclone Sina
During the next day the cyclone continued to intensify and developed an eye as it moved erratically towards the west-southwest and performed a small clockwise loop. During that day Sina's eye became very distinct on satellite imagery, as it intensified and the upper level steering flow which resulted in Sina moving erratically towards the southeast and Fiji. Later that day TCWC Nadi reported that the system had peaked as a category 3 severe tropical cyclone, with 10-minute sustained wind speeds of 140 km/h (85 mph).


1990–91 South Pacific cyclone season, Systems, Severe Tropical Cyclone Sina
The JTWC subsequently reported early the next day that Sina had peaked with 1-minute sustained wind speeds of 140 km/h (85 mph), which made it equivalent to a category 4 hurricane on the SSHWS. Sina remained at its peak intensity for most of that day, before it started to gradually weaken as it passed about 40 km (25 mi) to the south of Viti Levu before it passed over the island groups of Vatulele and Moala and the Southern Lau Islands during November 28.


1990–91 South Pacific cyclone season, Systems, Severe Tropical Cyclone Sina
Early on November 29, Sina weakened into a category two tropical cyclone on the Australian scale just before it passed to the north of Tongatapu in Tonga. During that day the system moved eastwards towards the Southern Cook Islands and gradually weakened further. Early the next day, the system passed about 160 km (100 mi) to the south of Niue, before it recurved sharply towards the south-southeast later that day as it approached the Southern Cook Islands.


1990–91 South Pacific cyclone season, Systems, Severe Tropical Cyclone Sina
The system subsequently rapidly weakened and transitioned into an extratropical cyclone under the influence of strong vertical wind shear and cooler sea surface temperatures. Over the next couple of days Sina's extratropical remnants maintained a southeastward track, before it was absorbed by an advancing trough of low pressure near 50°S on December 4.


1990–91 South Pacific cyclone season, Systems, Severe Tropical Cyclone Sina
The cyclone caused no deaths and over US$18.5 million in damages, as it affected Fiji, Tonga, Niue and the Southern Cook Islands. Ahead of the system affecting Fiji, hundreds of holiday makers were evacuated from Fiji's outer island resorts to hotels on the mainland. High winds and heavy rain forced the closure of several local airports and the main Nadi International Airport. As Sina moved through the archipelago, the system destroyed or damaged houses and other building structures, while bringing down electric and telephone lines and uprooting trees.


1990–91 South Pacific cyclone season, Systems, Severe Tropical Cyclone Sina
The system also washed away a railway bridge on Vanua Levu that was used to take sugar cane to Labasa's mills, growers had no choice but to go through the village of Korowiri. However, the workers refused to go into their fields unless they had police protection to go through the village, after Methodists from the local church attacked a group of growers for working on Sundays in defiance of Fiji's Sunday Observance Decree. Within Tonga only minor damage to weak structures, trees, banana plantations, electric and telephone lines was recorded. Within both Niue and the Southern Cook Islands only minor damage to crops and structures was reported.


1990–91 South Pacific cyclone season, Systems, Tropical Cyclone Lisa
Tropical Cyclone Lisa moved into the South Pacific from the Australian region during May 11, while it was a Category 2 tropical cyclone with sustained wind speeds of 110 km/h (75 mph). Over the next couple of days, Lisa moved south-eastwards and passed in between the Vanuatuan islands of Tanna and Anatom as it gradually weakened and lost its tropical cyclone characteristics. Lisa's remnants subsequently started to deepen during May 14, under the influence of an upper level mid latitude trough and reached a secondary peak intensity of 100 km/h (65 mph).


1990–91 South Pacific cyclone season, Systems, Tropical Cyclone Lisa
Over the next few days the system continued to move towards the southeast while slowly weakening until it was last noted dissipating about 2,600 km (1,615 mi) to the east of Wellington, New Zealand. There were no reports of any significant damage associated with Lisa in Papua New Guinea, Vanuatu or the Solomon Islands.


1990–91 South Pacific cyclone season, Systems, Other systems
On December 15, in response to the formation of Typhoon Russ, in the North-Western Pacific Ocean, a tropical low developed about 500 km (310 mi) to the south-east of Honiara in the Solomon Islands. Over the next two days the system moved westwards before it moved into the Australian basin during December 17, where it was later named Joy. A weak gale force tropical cyclone affected Tonga between December 14–17.


1990–91 South Pacific cyclone season, Systems, Other systems
During March, three significant tropical depressions including 15 and 16P were observed within the Coral Sea/Australian region, which did not become tropical cyclones on the Australian scale but were subject to gale warnings. 15P was first noted on March 3, while it was located about 900 km (560 mi) to the east of the Solomon Islands and over the next couple of days subsequently moved south-westwards and out of the South Pacific basin during the next day. 16P was first noted on March 14, while located about 300 km (185 mi) to the southeast of Honiara in the Solomon Islands.

1990–91 South Western Football League
The 1990–91 South Western Football League season was the 40th in the history of South Western League. The league consisted of 17 teams.


1990–91 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season
The 1990–91 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season was fairly quiet, although activity began early and the final named storm formed at a record late date. There were seven named storms classified by the Météo-France office (MFR) on Réunion, as well as three depressions; an additional depression was classified by the Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC), an unofficial warning agency. The JTWC tracked storms in both September and October, although neither affected land. In late November, another short-lived depression formed in the northeastern portion of the basin.


1990–91 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season
Activity remained minimal until January, when Tropical Storm Alison formed in the eastern portion of the basin. Later in the month, Cyclone Bella became the strongest storm of the season, reaching 10‑minute maximum sustained winds of 155 km/h (100 mph). It passed near the island of Rodrigues, becoming the worst cyclone there in 20 years and killing half of the population of one endangered species. Bella also likely caused a cargo ship to go missing with 36 people on board.


1990–91 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season
Three storms developed in short succession in the second half of February. Cyclone Cynthia developed rapidly in the Mozambique Channel on February 16 and struck western Madagascar, killing 36 people and ruining local rice harvests. A residual trough after Cynthia dissipated spawned Tropical Storm Debra, which looped in the Mozambique Channel. Toward the end of the month, Tropical Storm Elma exited the basin into the adjacent Australian region, only to re-enter the south-west Indian Ocean and dissipate. Long-lived Cyclone Fatima originated in the Australian basin in late March and changed directions before becoming extratropical. On April 2, a tropical depression struck eastern Madagascar, killing 18 people. The final storm, Gritelle, was named on June 10, the latest on record.


1990–91 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Seasonal summary
During the season, the Météo-France office (MFR) on Réunion island issued warnings in tropical cyclones within the basin. The agency estimated intensity through the Dvorak technique, and warned on tropical cyclones in the region from the coast of Africa to 90° E, south of the equator. Beginning in November 1990, MFR utilized a high resolution picture transmission station in conjunction with its satellite imagery. This allowed for improved Dvorak ratings, allowing for zooming and adjusting the satellite pictures. The Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC), which is a joint United States Navy – United States Air Force task force, also issued tropical cyclone warnings for the southwestern Indian Ocean. In addition to the named storms, the MFR also tracked four tropical depressions, named A1, A2, A3, and G1.


1990–91 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Seasonal summary
In general, the monsoon was weaker than normal within the basin, which provided less flow across the equator to spawn tropical cyclones. As a result, there was a marked decrease in overall activity compared to the 1989–90 season. The MFR issued 198 cyclone bulletins during the season, a 40% decrease over the previous year. Many of the storms formed at the edge of satellite coverage.


1990–91 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Systems, Severe Tropical Storm Alison
A southward-moving anticyclone influenced the monsoon trough to spawn a tropical disturbance on January 8, located east of Diego Garcia. The system moved to the east without much organization, turning to the southwest on January 11 around a ridge. On the next day, the JTWC classified the system as Tropical Cyclone 07S, the same day that the MFR upgraded the depression to Tropical Storm Alison. Conditions favored further strengthening, and Alison gradually intensified to peak 10‑minute sustained winds of 115 km/h (70 mph) on January 15, according to the MFR. On the same date, the JTWC assessed peak 1‑minute winds of 120 km/h (75 mph), equivalent to a minimal hurricane. By that time, the storm had turned more to the south-southeast, and began to weaken on January 16. Two days later, Alison weakened to tropical depression status and dissipated.


1990–91 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Systems, Tropical Cyclone Bella
Similar to Alison, Bella originated on January 18 from a surge in the monsoon trough to the southwest of Sumatra. For several days, the system remained weak as it moved generally west-southwestward. On January 25, it intensified to tropical storm status, but Bella took three more days to intensify to tropical cyclone status, or with 10‑minute maximum sustained winds of 120 km/h (75 mph). The cyclone attained peak intensity on January 29, officially reaching winds of 155 km/h (100 mph).


1990–91 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Systems, Tropical Cyclone Bella
The JTWC unofficially estimated winds of 240 km/h (150 mph), the highest the agency estimated for any storm in the Southern Hemisphere in the year. Bella later turned to the southeast and weakened, passing about 50 km (30 mi) west of Rodrigues on January 31. The storm turned to the south-southwest and back to the southeast again, becoming extratropical on February 4.


1990–91 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Systems, Tropical Cyclone Bella
While passing near Rodrigues, Bella produced strong winds and high tides, the latter of which caused flooding in the capital Port Mathurin. The storm was considered the worst on the island in 20 years. About 1,500 homes were damaged or destroyed, leaving 1,000 people homeless. Bella also severely damaged crops, roads, and the power grid on Rodrigues. The storm killed about half of the Rodrigues flying fox, a critically endangered species. Elsewhere, Bella was believed to have sunk a Madagascar cargo ship, with its 36 people on board.


1990–91 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Systems, Tropical Cyclone Cynthia
For several days beginning on February 9, an area of convection persisted in the Mozambique Channel off the southeast coast of Mozambique, between the towns of Beira and Quelimane. On February 15, deep convection increased greatly, leading to a tropical disturbance forming at 06:00 UTC the next morning. Also on February 16, the JTWC initiated advisories on Tropical Cyclone 10S. Moving southeastward, the convection quickly organized around the center, aided by warm sea surface temperatures and convergence. Late on February 16, the system intensified into Tropical Storm Cynthia while it was passing near Juan de Nova Island.


1990–91 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Systems, Tropical Cyclone Cynthia
Continuing to rapidly intensify, Cynthia attained tropical cyclone status on February 17, reaching peak winds of 125 km/h (75 mph). Shortly thereafter, the storm made landfall on western Madagascar just north of Morondava. It rapidly weakened over land as it shifted to the south and later southwest. Early on February 19, Cynthia emerged into the Mozambique Channel as a tropical disturbance, and the circulation dissipated shortly thereafter.


1990–91 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Systems, Tropical Cyclone Cynthia
Making landfall in western Madagascar, Cynthia produced peak winds of 157 km/h (98 mph) at Maintirano, with gusts to 185 km/h (115 mph). The city also recorded 420.1 mm (16.54 in) of rainfall. In some locations, the rainfall from Cynthia was heavier than the average annual precipitation. In some villages, the storm destroyed upwards of 98% of houses, leaving 125,000 people homeless nationwide. The cyclone also wrecked crops and killed livestock, with over 20,000 tons of rice destroyed that had been readied for harvest. Cynthia destroyed an irrigation canal in Morondava, flooding 10,000 ha (25,000 acres) of rice fields.


1990–91 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Systems, Tropical Cyclone Cynthia
Flooding washed away or heavily damaged several roads and bridges in southwestern Madagascar. The Morondava River, which empties into the Mozambique Channel at Morondava, eroded greatly during the storm. Cynthia killed 36 people, mostly in Toliara. Heavy rains from the storm also spread into Tanzania, causing flooding that destroyed 90 houses and washed away two bridges.


1990–91 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Systems, Tropical Cyclone Cynthia
Following the storm, the Malagasy government appealed for international aid. In response, the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) provided $25,000 (USD) toward rebuilding damaged roofs and placing a temporary pontoon bridge where a bridge had been washed out. Due to the damaged rice harvest, the Food for Peace program via USAID provided 15,000 tons of rice to Madagascar at the cost of $7.5 million (USD). The French government bought 130 tons of rice seed to be distributed to affected farmers. Local governments in Madagascar provided 6,000 farmers with rice seed to replant the ruined crop. In addition, the Swiss government provided money toward a reforestation project to discourage slash-and-burn practices.


1990–91 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Systems, Severe Tropical Storm Debra
After Cynthia dissipated, a residual trough persisted in the Mozambique Channel, spawning a tropical disturbance on February 22 about halfway between Madagascar and Mozambique. The interaction between cool air from the south and warm monsoonal air to the north fueled deep convection. After initially moving to the south, the system turned more to the southwest toward Mozambique on February 24, developing an eye feature in the center. The JTWC initiated advisories that day as Tropical Cyclone 12S, although the MFR initially maintained the system as a tropical depression.


1990–91 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Systems, Severe Tropical Storm Debra
The MFR upgraded the depression to tropical storm status on February 25, by which time the JTWC already estimated winds of 140 km/h (85 mph). That day, the storm approached the coast of Mozambique within 100 km (60 mi) before turning to the east-northeast. On February 26, the MFR named the system Debra, and later that day estimated peak 10‑minute winds of 115 km/h (70 mph). In contrast, the JTWC estimated peak 1‑minute winds of 165 km/h (105 mph). While moving to the northeast, Debra passed within 200 km (125 mi) of Europa Island on February 27. The storm subsequently executed a counterclockwise loop to the south, during which it began weakening. By February 28, Debra had weakened to minimal tropical storm status while accelerating to the southeast, although it briefly re-intensified the next day. On March 4, an approaching cold front absorbed the storm.


1990–91 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Systems, Severe Tropical Storm Debra
While near Europa Island, Debra produced gusts of 63 km/h (39 mph) and sustained winds of 48 km/h (30 mph).


1990–91 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Systems, Severe Tropical Storm Elma
On February 26, a tropical disturbance formed in the northeastern portion of the basin, well to the east-southeast of Diego Garcia. It originated from the monsoon trough, and moved generally to the south-southeast while quickly intensifying. Late on February 26, the MFR upgraded the depression to Tropical Storm Elma, around the same time the JTWC began tracking it as Tropical Cyclone 17S. On February 27, the JTWC estimated Elma attained peak 1‑minute winds of 110 km/h (70 mph), before assessing the storm as weakening.


1990–91 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Systems, Severe Tropical Storm Elma
In contrast, the MFR estimated Emla continued to slowly intensify to a 10‑minute peak strength of 105 km/h (65 mph) on March 1. Shortly thereafter, the storm crossed 90° E into the Australian region, where the Bureau of Meteorology estimated that Elma entered at tropical cyclone status. Steady weakening commenced due to the influence of a trough and cooler waters. Elma weakened to the equivalent of tropical depression status by March 3 before turning back to the west. On March 5, the system recrossed 90° E into the south-west Indian Ocean, dissipating shortly thereafter.


1990–91 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Systems, Tropical Cyclone Fatima
A surge in the monsoon trough spawned what would become Cyclone Fatima to the southwest of Sumatra. On March 21, the MFR identified a tropical disturbance in the Australian region, which crossed into the south-west Indian Ocean on the next day. Also on March 22, the MFR upgraded the storm to Tropical Storm Fatima, and the JTWC tracked the system as Tropical Cyclone 17S. The storm moved southwestward due to a ridge to the northwest, and gradually intensified.


1990–91 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Systems, Tropical Cyclone Fatima
On March 25, the JTWC upgraded Fatima to the equivalent of a minimal hurricane, although the MFR only estimated 10‑minute winds of 95 km/h (60 mph) at that time. Due to a break in the ridge, Fatima turned toward the south on March 26, around the time that the JTWC estimated peak 1‑minute winds of 165 km/h (105 mph). The storm later turned more to the southeast, although it shifted back to the southwest on March 29. On the next day, the MFR upgraded Fatima to tropical cyclone status and estimated peak 10‑minute winds of 135 km/h (85 mph). Fatima turned back to the southeast on March 31 and accelerated, weakening to tropical storm status due to upper-level wind shear. As it was approaching 90° E, Fatima became extratropical on April 1.


1990–91 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Systems, Tropical Depression G1
On March 30, an area of convection spawned a small tropical disturbance about 310 km (190 mi) east of Toamasina off the eastern coast of Madagascar. Classified as Tropical Disturbance G1, the system initially moved to the west-northwest and had poorly-organized convection. On April 1, the disturbance turned back to the southeast and organized more due to an increase in convection. Later that day it turned back to the west toward Madagascar. On April 2, the disturbance intensified into a tropical depression, reaching peak winds of 50 km/h (30 mph). At 09:00 UTC that day, the system made landfall about 30 km (20 mi) north of Toamasina. It quickly weakened over land, dissipating on April 3.


1990–91 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Systems, Tropical Depression G1
The depression brought heavy rainfall to eastern Madagascar that resulted in flooding. Toamasina reported 228.2 mm (8.98 in) of rainfall, as well as wind gusts to 90 km/h (56 mph). The floods killed 18 people in the country.


1990–91 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Systems, Moderate Tropical Storm Gritelle
On June 5, the near-equator trough spawned a tropical disturbance to the east-southeast of Diego Garcia. The system moved to the southwest and later to the west, influenced by a trough to the south. Initially it failed to intensify much, although an anticyclone provided favorable conditions for development, as did warm water temperatures. On June 7, the system passed south of the Chagos Archipelago, and on the next day the JTWC classified it as Tropical Cyclone 22S, the final of the season.


1990–91 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Systems, Moderate Tropical Storm Gritelle
When the system reached the MFR area of satellite coverage on June 10, it appeared as a well-developed system; as a result, the agency upgraded the depression to Tropical Storm Gritelle, estimating peak 10‑minute winds of 85 km/h (50 mph). On June 11, Gritelle began weakening due to increased wind shear, deteriorating to tropical depression status on June 12. Over the subsequent two days, the system executed a loop, maintaining its status as a tropical depression or disturbance. On June 15, Gritelle passed about 425 km (265 mi) east of Rodrigues while moving to the south. It accelerated to the southeast, dissipating on June 16.


1990–91 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Systems, Moderate Tropical Storm Gritelle
The storm formed was very late in the cyclone season, making Gritelle the strongest June storm in 20 years, as well as the latest in the cyclone year that a storm was properly named. Tropical Depression Fely in 1983 formed later but was wrongly named, and Cyclone Odette in 1971 formed in July when the cyclone year ended on July 31. The end of the tropical cyclone year shifted from July 31 to June 30 in 2003.


1990–91 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Systems, Other storms
On September 19, the JTWC began monitoring a system near the Chagos Archipelago. The system tracked westward, organizing enough that the JTWC classified it as Tropical Cyclone 01S on September 21. Despite predictions that it would strengthen into a tropical storm, the system failed to intensify beyond winds of 55 km/h (35 mph), and dissipated on September 25.


1990–91 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Systems, Other storms
Similar to the previous system, the JTWC began monitoring a disturbance on October 15. After an initial movement to the southwest, the system turned to the north and later to the west. The JTWC classified the system as Tropical Cyclone 02S on October 18, estimating peak winds of 55 km/h (35 mph). Two days later, the agency declared the system as dissipated.


1990–91 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Systems, Other storms
On November 29, the JTWC tracked a system to the east-southeast of Diego Garcia, which originated in the monsoon trough. The system moved to the southwest and was classified by MFR as Tropical Disturbance A2 on November 30. On December 2, the disturbance intensified into a tropical depression as it curved to the southeast. On that day, the MFR estimated peak winds of 55 km/h (35 mph), based on the distinct appearance on satellite imagery.


1990–91 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Systems, Other storms
On the next day, the JTWC classified the system as Tropical Cyclone 04S, and assessed the storm as intensifying to a peak of 100 km/h (65 mph); the intensification was aided by an anticyclone aloft. However, an increase in wind shear caused marked weakening. The JTWC discontinued advisories on December 4, although the MFR continued tracking the system until December 7, when the depression had curved back to the southwest for a final time.


1990–91 Southampton F.C. season
During the 1990–91 English football season, Southampton competed in the Football League First Division.


1990–91 Southampton F.C. season, Season summary
In the 1990–91 season, Southampton had a disappointing campaign, finding themselves at the bottom half of the table for most of the season. On 16 March they lost 4–3 at home to Everton and sat only four points clear of the relegation places, but four wins from their final nine league games of the season saved them from relegation. At the end of the season, their manager Chris Nicholl was sacked and was replaced by Ian Branfoot, who was assistant to Steve Coppell at Crystal Palace.

1990–91 Stoke City F.C. season
Stoke City entered the 1990–91 season in the Third Division for only the second time in their history and the feeling from the supporters was that a club of Stoke's size should be able to easily gain an instant return to the second tier. However Stoke experienced their worst ever season in terms of league position as they could only muster a 14th-place finish. Alan Ball was sacked in February and his assistant Graham Paddon took over for the remainder of the season.


1990–91 Stoke City F.C. season, Season review, League
The 1990–91 season will long be remembered by Stoke supporters as the club finished in its lowest ever league position of 14th in the third tier. Manager Alan Ball was dismissed in late February after a 4–0 defeat at Wigan Athletic with Graham Paddon filling the gap until the end of the season. The overall team performances were of a low standard with some embarrassing defeats being suffered against the likes of Shrewsbury Town, Leyton Orient, Cambridge United and Bournemouth.


1990–91 Stoke City F.C. season, Season review, League
It was all meant to be so different when the season started with Stoke beating Rotherham United 3–1 on the opening day which was followed by a commanding away victory at Tranmere Rovers. The club were in the top three until the start of December, but as the first half of the season came to an end Stoke's form began to suffer and after exiting the FA Cup Stoke had two awful performances against Exeter City and Preston North End and their form completely dropped off.


1990–91 Stoke City F.C. season, Season review, League
Results briefly improved after Paddon took over, and following a victory over Mansfield Town in late March, the club were in 9th place, just three points outside the play-offs. After that win however, Stoke earned just 4 points from their last 9 matches, ending both any remaining promotion hopes and Paddon's chance of becoming permanent manager; he resigned after the season ended and returned to former club Portsmouth as a coach. Stoke had an abysmal disciplinary record this season and at times the attitude of the players on the pitch left lot to be desired. And so, despite boasting the largest supporter base and wage budget, Stoke had a season to forget in the Third Division.

Gascoigne had earlier scored a tremendous free-kick in the 3–1 win against Arsenal in the semi-final (Gary Lineker scored Tottenham's other goals, with Arsenal's Alan Smith scoring Arsenal's goal).

The Canucks who were slumping in the first half of the regular season fired head coach Bob McCammon on January 31, 1991. He was fired immediately after a home game against the New York Rangers that ended in a 3-3 tie. The game was noted for a spectacular goal tending performance by Rangers goal tender Mike Richter who made 59 saves.

The next day McCammon was replaced by Pat Quinn who would fly down with the team to Los Angeles on board the Canadian Airlines charter to coach his first game for the club against the Los Angeles Kings. Upon landing at Los Angeles International Airport the team charter was nearly involved in the fatal collision of USAir Flight 1493 and SkyWest Flight 5569 as the aircraft landed on a parallel runway approximately 100 metres (110 yd) from the collision.

Quinn and the team were badly shaken by the incident, the team was unable to cope with the disaster when they faced the Kings on February 2. The team suffered its worst defeat of the season 9-1. The crash was still bothering the team when they flew out of Los Angeles to another road game in Washington D.C. to face the Washington Capitals. The Canucks would be held winless for their seventh straight game as hall of famer Dino Ciccarelli netted his 400th career regular season NHL goal.
