At the pace he was scoring goals (1.15 per game) and earning up assists (1.52 per game), he could have scored 97 goals and tallied 128 assists for 225 points had he played all 84 games. Had he achieved these totals, he would have broken Wayne Gretzky's all-time records for most goals in a season (92) and most points in a season (215). In recognition of his dedication and his achievements, Lemieux was awarded the Hart Memorial Trophy as the NHL's MVP during the regular season.

1992–93 S.L. Benfica season, Season summary
Swedish manager Sven-Göran Eriksson left the club after three seasons, following a trophyless 1991–92 season. As his successor, Benfica brought in Croatian manager Tomislav Ivić, who had arrived in Portugal in 1987 to represent Porto and guided them to four trophies in one season. Ivić chose Shéu to be his assistant, instead of Toni, who had been Eriksson's assistant as well as Benfica's manager during Ivić's previous tenure at Porto. One of Ivić's first demands was to reduce the width of the Estádio da Luz pitch to simulate the smaller fields that the team would encounter in away games.


1992–93 S.L. Benfica season, Season summary
Benfica started the season in good form, winning the first game, but this performance was not continued through the following matches. In September, the team dropped the first points, lagging behind in the title race, and lost the 1991 Supertaça Cândido de Oliveira replay final against Porto on penalties, despite a two-goal advantage. The results did not improve as the season progressed, and an away loss to Sporting CP (the first in eight years) caused Ivić to be sacked days later and replaced by Toni. The effect was not immediate as the team suffered a compromising loss against Porto, which opened a four-point gap at the top of the league standings. After December, good results in Europe and in the Taça de Portugal helped to boost the team's morale and performance.


1992–93 S.L. Benfica season, Season summary
In January, Benfica signed Paulo Futre, the 1987 Ballon d'Or runner-up with Porto, for what the media described to be upwards of £2.4 million.

Porto took the lead soon after Mozer's sending off on the 70th minute, but Benfica drew level through Aleksandr Mostovoi, with two minutes to play. The contend was decided in a replay match in Lisbon, which Benfica won 2–0 with goals from Isaías and Sergei Yuran.


1992–93 S.L. Benfica season, Season summary
Over the following months, Benfica had their best period of the season. Nonetheless, March was a difficult month as the team marginally defeated Sporting CP at home after dropping points in the title race against Farense, and were knocked out of the UEFA Cup by Roberto Baggio's and Gianluca Vialli's Juventus. In early April, Benfica closed the gap to leaders Porto to one point, after a hard-fought away win against Boavista. Ahead of the Clássico on 17 April, Porto and Benfica were tied in points, but as the match ended with a goalless draw, the title race remained open.


1992–93 S.L. Benfica season, Season summary
Entering May, Benfica reached the top of the Primeira Divisão but their campaign in the Taça de Portugal nearly came to an end in the semifinal. Trailing 1–0 to Vitória de Guimarães until the 78th minute, goals from Isaías and Rui Águas (89th minute) overturned the score and qualified Benfica for the final. On matchday 31, a 1–0 loss against Beira-Mar in Aveiro saw Benfica lose the league lead back to Porto, and a goalless away draw against Estoril in the penultimate day confirmed back-to-back league titles for Porto.

This was just three years since the club led by playmaker and legend Diego Maradona won the domestic league title. It actually spent Christmas of 1992 in the relegation zone, and climbed out of it thanks to a strong January '93 run. The reason Napoli survived was the above-average offensive skills.


1992–93 S.S.C. Napoli season

1992–93 SAARC Quadrangular
The 1992–93 SAARC Quadrangular  was the inaugural SAARC Quadrangular cricket tournament. It started in Dhaka, Bangladesh in December 1992 amidst great enthusiasm and excitement.


1992–93 SAARC Quadrangular, Background
4 teams, the 'A' teams from neighbouring India, Pakistan and Sri Lanka, and the full national team of the host country participated in the event. Due to the volatile political situation arising in the sub-continent, the tournament had to be abandoned at the League stage. Thus, there was no winners of the tournament.


1992–93 SAARC Quadrangular, Scores in brief
India came to the tournament with the strongest team, and they were the favourites to lift the trophy. The didn't get the chance to do that, but some of the players were rewarded for their brilliant performances. Both Vinod Kambli and off-spinner Rajesh Chauhan made their test debut against England at Eden Garden, Calcutta, in Jan 1993. Navjot Singh Sidhu was recalled to open the batting, and he remained a regular member of the Indian national team till the end of the decade.


1992–93 SAARC Quadrangular, Scores in brief
Maninder Singh, the captain of the 'A' team, was recalled briefly, for the one-off test Match against Zimbabwe in March 1993. Ajay Sharma, the highest wicket taker of the tournament, earned himself a recall to the Indian ODI team. In contrast, the future Indian captain Sourav Ganguly played in all the games, but never got the chance to bat. His only over in the tournament, against the Pakistanis, went for 13 runs.


1992–93 SAARC Quadrangular, Scores in brief
Pakistan didn't send their strongest available team. Instead, they gave opportunity to some youngsters. The openers, Basit Ali and Shaheed Anwar, impressed with their aggressive batting. Their seamers did well, but they didn't have the quality spinner required for slow turning pitches. The Lankan team was very weak, and they were badly beaten in all the games. Still, The pacer Graeme Labrooy, bowled with plenty of heart.


1992–93 SAARC Quadrangular, Scores in brief
For the hosts, their best moment came on the opening day, with a crushing defeat of the Lankans. The medium pacers Saiful Islam, Jahangir Alam Talukdar Dulu & Gholam Nousher Prince bowled the opposition out for a mere 85. The Abedin brothers, Nobel & Nannu, then did the rest. The seamers bowled well again against Pakistan, putting them under pressure initially, but at the end the hosts didn't have enough runs on the board.


1992–93 SAARC Quadrangular, An eventual success
Though the 1st SAARC Quadrangular ended abruptly, the idea lived on. And in Dec. 1994, the 2nd event took place successfully. India, led by Pravin Amre won the trophy, beating Bangladesh in the final. Pakistan won the 3rd event, (Feb. 1997) beating arch rivals India in a rain affected final. Bangladesh lost all their 3 games in 1997, but it was by no means a disgraceful performance, as the oppositions in this tournament were far superior to anything before. In fact, this tournament provided a very useful preparation for the team which went to win the ICC Trophy in April. Soon, Bangladesh became a full member the ICC, & with Bangladesh regularly hosting full ODI matches the need for the SAARC tournament became obsolete. Nevertheless, there is still considerable amount of 'A' grade cricket played among the South Asian nations.

1992–93 South Pacific cyclone season
The 1992–93 South Pacific cyclone season was an above-average tropical cyclone season with ten tropical cyclones occurring within the South Pacific to the east of 160°E. The season officially ran from November 1, 1992, to April 30, 1993, with the first disturbance of the season forming on December 3 and the last disturbance dissipating on April 6.


1992–93 South Pacific cyclone season
During the season, tropical cyclones were monitored by the Tropical Cyclone Warning Centers (TCWC) in Nadi, Fiji, and in Wellington, New Zealand. Whilst tropical cyclones that moved to the west of 160°E were monitored as a part of the Australian region by the Australian Bureau of Meteorology. Both the United States Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC) and the Naval Western Oceanography Center (NWOC) issued unofficial warnings within the southern Pacific.


1992–93 South Pacific cyclone season
The JTWC issued warnings between 160°E and the International Date Line whilst the NWOC issued warnings for tropical cyclones forming between the International Date Line and the coasts of the Americas. Both the JTWC and the NWOC designated tropical cyclones with a number and a P suffix with numbers assigned in order to tropical cyclones developing within the whole of the Southern Hemisphere. TCWC Nadi and TCWC Wellington both use the Australian Tropical Cyclone Intensity Scale, and measure windspeeds over a period of ten minutes, while the JTWC and the NWOC measured sustained winds over a period of one minute and use the Saffir–Simpson Hurricane Scale.


1992–93 South Pacific cyclone season, Seasonal summary
On July 1, 1992, the New Zealand Meteorological Service (TCWC Wellington) was broken up and became the Meteorological Service of New Zealand and the National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research.


1992–93 South Pacific cyclone season, Seasonal summary
Ahead of the 1992–93 season it was predicted that the season would feature a below average amount of tropical cyclones, after six tropical cyclones had affected Vanuatu during the previous season. During that season as no systems had affected the archipelago, the VMS had started to hope that no tropical cyclones would impact the archipelago during the season. However, during March 29 – 30, Cyclone Prema affected the Shepherd, E'pi and Efate where it caused widespread damage to buildings and crops.


1992–93 South Pacific cyclone season, Systems, Severe Tropical Cyclone Joni
At the start of December a shallow tropical depression developed, along the South Pacific Convergence Zone, in the vicinity of Tuvalu. Over the next few days the system gradually developed further as it affected Tuvalu, before it was declared to be a tropical cyclone and named Joni by the Fiji Meteorological Service (FMS) during December 7. Over the next couple of days the system intensified further as it was steered south-westwards and posed a threat towards the Fijian dependency of Rotuma and the French territory of Wallis and Futuna.


1992–93 South Pacific cyclone season, Systems, Severe Tropical Cyclone Joni
The system subsequently peaked as a Category 4 severe tropical cyclone on the Australian tropical cyclone intensity scale as it approached the Fijian Islands during December 10. Over the next couple of days the system moved through the Fijian Islands, before it became an extratropical cyclone during December 13. The system was last noted during the next day as it was absorbed by a mid-latitude trough of low pressure to the east of New Zealand.


1992–93 South Pacific cyclone season, Systems, Severe Tropical Cyclone Joni
Joni caused gale to storm force winds on the Tuvuluan island of Niulakita and minor damage to most of the Tuvuluan islands. Total damages to crops in the island nation were estimated at AU$6,900 (US$5,000). There were no damages reported on the islands of Wallis and Futuna or Rotuma, while 1 person was killed, 10 people went missing and total damages were estimated at FJ$2 million (US$1.6 million) in Fiji. The main impacts of Joni in Fiji were confined to the Western Division, with the islands of Yasawa, Mamanuca, Viti Levu, Kadavu and Vatulele being the worst affected areas. Damages in both Tuvalu and Fiji were exacerbated a month later by Severe Tropical Cyclones Nina and Kina interacting with each other.


1992–93 South Pacific cyclone season, Systems, Severe Tropical Cyclone Kina
On December 23, TCWC Nadi started to monitor a tropical depression, that had developed within the monsoon trough about 340 km (210 mi) to the northeast of Honiara on the Solomon Island of Guadalcanal. Over the next few days the depression gradually developed further as it moved slowly towards the south-southeast, before during December 26, the JTWC designated the system as Tropical Cyclone 07P and started to issue warnings on the system as it had become equivalent to a tropical storm.


1992–93 South Pacific cyclone season, Systems, Severe Tropical Cyclone Kina
During the next day, the system appeared to slightly relax before it resumed developing from about 1200 UTC with the FMS naming it as Kina later that day, after the depression developed into a category one tropical cyclone. Early on December 28, the JTWC reported that the system had become equivalent to a category 1 hurricane on the SSHWS.


1992–93 South Pacific cyclone season, Systems, Severe Tropical Cyclone Kina
During that day Kina continued to develop as it moved south-eastwards, before it turned towards the south and became slow moving later that day, before the JTWC reported during the next day that Kina had reached its peak intensity with 1-minute sustained wind speeds of 220 km/h (140 mph) which made it a category 4 hurricane on the SSHWS. Later that day TCWC Nadi reported that Kina had peaked as a category 3 severe tropical cyclone with 10 – minute sustained wind speeds of 150 km/h (90 mph).

A tropical depression developed on January 30, about 365 km (225 mi) to the northeast of Apia, Samoa.


1992–93 South Pacific cyclone season, Systems, Tropical Cyclone Mick
A shallow tropical depression developed during February 3, within the South Pacific Convergence Zone about 170 km (105 mi) to the north-west of American Samoa. Over the next few days the system gradually developed further, as it moved south-westwards and passed near the Tongan island of Keppel during February 5. Later that day the NPMOC initiated advisories on the system and designated it as Tropical Cyclone 17P, while it was located about 520 km (325 mi) to the northeast of Nukuʻalofa. The system subsequently passed through the islands of central Tonga and was named Mick by the FMS during February 6, after it had developed into a Category 1 tropical cyclone.


1992–93 South Pacific cyclone season, Systems, Tropical Cyclone Mick
After being named the system continued to intensify during that day, before both the NPMOC and the FMS reported that Mick had peaked with winds of 85 km/h (50 mph). As Mick continued to move south-westwards further development was suppressed, by cooler waters and vertical wind shear as it accelerated through Fiji's Lau Islands. The system subsequently weakened gradually, before it rapidly lost its tropical characteristics, as it moved into the subtropics during February 9.


1992–93 South Pacific cyclone season, Systems, Tropical Cyclone Mick
Mick's extratropical remnants were subsequently last noted during February 11, as they passed about 250 km (155 mi) to the northwest of Gisborne on New Zealand's east coast. As Mick was a small and weak system, it only caused a minimal amount of damage on the islands in Tonga and Fiji that it passed near or over.


1992–93 South Pacific cyclone season, Systems, Tropical Cyclone Nisha
During February 9, a depression developed within the South Pacific Convergence Zone, just to the southwest of Pukapuka in the Northern Cook Islands. Over the next couple of days, the system remained near stationary, before it started to move south-eastwards towards Palmerston in the Southern Cook Islands during February 12. During that day, as the system moved south-eastwards the system developed a more symmetrical circulation, before the NPMOC initiated advisories on the system and designated it as Tropical Cyclone 18P. During the next day, the FMS reported that the depression had developed into a Category 1 tropical cyclone and named it Nisha, before it passed near Palmerston, as it started to curve towards the east-southeast.

Tropical Cyclone 08P was first noted as a tropical depression by the FMS during January 1, while it was located about 500 km (310 mi) to the east of Alofi in Niue. During that day the depression moved eastwards, before the NPMOC initiated advisories on the system and designated it as Tropical Cyclone 08P. During that day 08P started to move towards the southeast through the Cook Islands, before it peaked with estimated 1-minute sustained wind speeds of 85 km/h (50 mph).


1992–93 South Pacific cyclone season, Systems, Other systems
During January 3, 08P rapidly degenerated into an extratropical low, while it was located about 405 km to the southeast of Papeete in French Polynesia. There were no reports of any impacts within the Cook Islands associated with 08P. Tropical Cyclone 09P developed on January 11, while it was located about 610 km (380 mi) to the north of the island of Tahiti in French Polynesia. Over the next couple of days the system moved westwards and gradually turned and started to move south-eastwards before it was last noted during January 14.

1992–93 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season
The 1992–93 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season lasted longer than normal, with the first storm Aviona forming on September 27 and the final storm Konita not dissipating until May 7. It was an above-average season, with four tropical cyclones – the equivalent of a minimal hurricane – along with six tropical storms, one subtropical depression, and several depressions including one that was named. The basin is defined as the area west of 90°E and south of the Equator in the Indian Ocean, which includes the waters around Madagascar westward to the east coast of Africa. Tropical cyclones in this basin are monitored by the Regional Specialised Meteorological Centre in Réunion (MFR), as well as by the Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC).


1992–93 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season
At the time, the season officially went from November 15, 1991, to April 30, 1992, although this season began in September with the formation of Tropical Storm Aviona in the northeastern portion of the basin. A month later, Tropical Storm Babie also formed in the northeastern portion of the basin before the season's official start. After several depressions formed in December and early January, Cyclone Colina formed and struck Réunion, which damaged houses and killed 2 people and left 12 missing there.


1992–93 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season
Three storms were active at the same time in the middle of January, including Colina – Tropical Storm Dessilia moved across Madagascar with gusty winds, and Cyclone Edwina was the longest-lasting and strongest storm of the season. Edwina brushed the Mascarene Islands with gusty winds and light rainfall. In mid-February, Tropical Storm Finella brought locally heavy rainfall to Réunion, reaching 1,074 mm (42.3 in) along the island's east coast and causing minimal rainfall along the southern coast.


1992–93 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season
The Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) became active toward the end of February, spawning tropical storms Gracia and Ionia as well as Tropical Depression Hutelle. Ionia, the last of five system to cross Madagascar during the season, killed eight people in the country. The season ended with Cyclone Jourdanne, which was the second-strongest storm of the season in April, and Cyclone Konita in May.


1992–93 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. 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. The storms in the season lasted about five days on average, although Cyclone Edwina lasted the longest at 11 days.


1992–93 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Seasonal summary
Storms formed throughout the basin and were fairly evenly distributed throughout the season, with the exception of a lull in November. Most storms originated from the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ). MFR named storms throughout the season using 11 names from a sequential list. The remainder of the list was Laura, Monette, Neige, Octavie, Pamela, Rosita, Stella, Tasiana, Vigonia, Wendy, and Yolande.


1992–93 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Systems, Moderate Tropical Storm Aviona
On September 25, a low-pressure area persisted between the Cocos Islands and Sumatra in the Australian region, east of 90° E. It moved southwestward into the south-west Indian Ocean due to a large ridge to the south. The system slowly organized, becoming a tropical disturbance on September 27; on the same day, the JTWC also initiated advisories on the system as Tropical Cyclone 01S. This marked an unusual event of such an early storm formation.


1992–93 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Systems, Moderate Tropical Storm Aviona
On September 29, the system was named Moderate Tropical Storm Aviona, although the MFR later assessed that the system reached tropical storm status on the previous day. In addition, the JTWC estimated the system attained 1-minute sustained peak winds of 120 km/h (75 mph) on September 28, the equivalent of a minimal hurricane. When Aviona was named, the MFR estimated peak 10-minute sustained winds of 75 km/h (45 km/h). Subsequently, increased wind shear incurred weakening due to a trough to the south, which stripped the convection from the center. A building ridge behind the trough turned Aviona to the west. The storm weakened to a depression on October 1, the same day the JTWC discontinued advisories. The circulation continued generally west-southwestward until dissipating on October 5 to the north of Rodrigues island.


1992–93 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Systems, Moderate Tropical Storm Babie
The ITCZ became active on October 17, spawning an area of disturbed weather about 900 km (560 mi) east of Diego Garcia in conjunction with a pre-existing low-pressure area. Convection quickly organized around a center, and a tropical disturbance formed on October 18. On the same day, the JTWC began issuing warnings on the system as Tropical Cyclone 02S. A trough to the south steered the system to the south-southwest. Following steady intensification, the disturbance became Tropical Storm Babie on October 19, reaching peak winds of 70 km/h (45 mph). A building ridge to the south increased wind shear, causing Babie to quickly weaken; the JTWC and MFR discontinued advisories on October 21, and the circulation dissipated on October 23.


1992–93 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Systems, Tropical Cyclone Colina
The ITCZ spawned an area of convection on January 11 near the Chagos Archipelago. A circulation developed within the system on January 13 about 400 km (250 mi) southwest of Diego Garcia, and at that time it became a tropical disturbance. A large ridge to the south steered the system generally to the southwest. The disturbance intensified into a depression on January 14, the same date that the JTWC initiated advisories on Tropical Cyclone 10S, and following an increase in convection, the depression intensified into Moderate Tropical Storm Colina on January 15.


1992–93 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Systems, Tropical Cyclone Colina
Turning more to the south-southwest, Colina strengthened further into a tropical cyclone on January 18, developing a 30 km (19 mi) eye. On the next day, the cyclone attained peak 10-minute winds of 135 km/h (85 mph), according to MFR, while the JTWC estimated peak 1-minute winds of 175 km/h (110 mph). That day, the eye crossed over the western portion of Réunion at around 14:30 UTC, exiting 45 minutes later. Subsequently, Colina accelerated to the southeast over cooler waters, weakening in the process. On December 20, the cyclone weakened to tropical storm status, and the next day Colina became extratropical, dissipating two days later.


1992–93 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Systems, Tropical Cyclone Colina
Early in its duration, Colina dropped rainfall in Seychelles through the interaction with the ITCZ. The rains caused flooding and mudslides, and the storm also produced high waves and gusty winds. Moving across Réunion, Colina produced strong wind gusts in the mountainous peaks, reaching 205 km/h (127 mph) at La Plaine-des-Palmistes. The storm dropped rainfall across the entire island, peaking at 894 mm (35.2 in) at Mafate in a 24‑hour period. The winds and rainfall damaged crops and houses and also caused power outages. The storm killed two people on the island during its passage, with 12 others missing. On nearby Mauritius, Colina dropped about 106 mm (4.2 in) of rainfall and produced wind gusts of 114 km/h (71 mph); the storm did not cause much damage there.


1992–93 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Systems, Severe Tropical Storm Dessilia
While Colina was intensifying northeast of Réunion, the monsoon spawned an area of convection in conjunction with a low-pressure area in the Mozambique Channel. On January 16, the system developed into a tropical disturbance, although initially the circulation was poorly-defined. It moved toward the coast of Mozambique before turning southeastward and organizing more. The system intensified into Tropical Storm Dessilia on January 19, reaching peak 10 minute winds of 95 km/h (60 mph) at 12:00 UTC on the next day. At around that time, Dessilia made landfall on northwestern Madagascar between Morondava and Morombe.


1992–93 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Systems, Severe Tropical Storm Dessilia
Over a 30-hour period, the storm moved southeastward across the country, remaining fairly well-organized. Initially, it appeared that Colina absorbed Dessilia once the latter storm emerged from the Madagascar coastline, although they remained separate systems. After having weakened to tropical depression status, Dessilia restrengthened into a tropical storm on January 22. Increased wind shear weakened the convection, and the storm dissipated on January 24; the next day, the remnants were absorbed by a passing cold front.


1992–93 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Systems, Severe Tropical Storm Dessilia
While intensifying and passing near Juan de Nova Island, Dessilia produced wind gusts of 98 km/h (61 mph). Wind gusts on Madagascar reached 104 km/h (65 mph) at Morombe. Later, the storm produced 3 to 4 m (9.8 to 13.1 ft) waves to the southwest coast of Réunion.


1992–93 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Systems, Intense Tropical Cyclone Edwina
A few days after Colina formed, the ITCZ spawned another area of convection on January 16 in the northeast portion of the basin. The next day, a low-pressure area formed between the Chagos Archipelago and Diego Garcia, and on January 19 the system developed into a tropical disturbance after convection increased. Following further organization, the system intensified into Tropical Storm Edwina on January 20 while moving generally westward. Increasing wind shear prevented significant strengthening initially, but Edwina was able to intensify more on January 21.


1992–93 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Systems, Intense Tropical Cyclone Edwina
On January 23, the JTWC upgraded the storm to the equivalent of a minimal hurricane on the same day that MFR upgraded Edwina to tropical cyclone status. On the next day, the JTWC estimated the cyclone attained peak winds of 205 km/h (125 mph), after Edwina developed a well-defined 75 km (47 mi) wide eye. On January 26, the MFR estimated that the cyclone reached peak 10-minute winds of 170 km/h (105 mph), making Edwina the strongest storm of the season.


1992–93 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Systems, Intense Tropical Cyclone Edwina
Around that time, the cyclone turned more to the south around a large ridge, maintaining peak winds through January 27. By that time, the eye became large and ragged while passing halfway between Rodrigues and St. Brandon. On January 27, Edwina passed about 220 km (140 mi) east of Mauritius. On the next day, increased wind shear caused marked weakening, quickly destroying the eye and lowering the winds below tropical cyclone force. On January 29, Edwina ceased existing as a tropical system, although its remnants persisted several more days, affecting Île Amsterdam in the south-central Indian Ocean on February 2.


1992–93 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Systems, Intense Tropical Cyclone Edwina
On Rodrigues island, Edwina produced peak wind gusts of 145 km/h (90 mph). The fringes of the storm affected Mauritius, producing peak gusts of 124 km/h (77 mph) and 108 mm (4.3 in) of rainfall. Farther west, Edwina produced gusts of 104 km/h (65 mph) on Réunion.


1992–93 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Systems, Moderate Tropical Storm Finella
A large low-pressure area persisted on February 11 across northern Madagascar, centered near Cape Masoala along the country's eastern coast. Moving southward and later southeastward due to a trough, the system developed into a tropical disturbance on February 12 and slowly organized. On the next day, the JTWC began tracking the system as Tropical Cyclone 19S. The MFR upgraded the system to Tropical Storm Finella on February 14 after an eye feature developed within the central dense overcast.


1992–93 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Systems, Moderate Tropical Storm Finella
As a result, the JTWC upgraded the system to the equivalent of a minimal hurricane that day, estimating peak 1-minute winds of 130 km/h (80 mph), although the MFR only estimated peak 10-minute winds of 80 km/h (50 mph). Increased wind shear weakened Finella, and it was no longer a tropical depression on February 15.


1992–93 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Systems, Moderate Tropical Storm Finella
Finella produced localized heavy rainfall in Réunion. Saint-Benoît along the east coast recorded 1,074 mm (42.3 in) of precipitation in 24 hours, including 122 mm (4.8 in) that fell in just one hour. The southern portion of the island received minimal rainfall, in contrast.


1992–93 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Systems, Moderate Tropical Storm Gracia
A circulation within the ITCZ developed on February 20 just south of Mayotte in the Mozambique Channel. It developed good outflow and showed initial signs of development, although on February 21 the system weakened. The convection reorganized, developing a ragged eye with circular rainbands, and the system intensified into Tropical Storm Gracia on February 22. It was a small system, just 100 km (60 mi) from the Madagascar coast when it attained tropical storm status. Late on February 22, the storm attained peak winds of 70 km/h (45 mph). Shortly thereafter, the convection rapidly disintegrated as Gracia made landfall on northwestern Madagascar near Besalampy, dissipating early on February 23. The storm produced locally heavy rainfall, reaching 140 mm (5.5 in) where it made landfall. The JTWC did not track the system.


1992–93 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Systems, Moderate Tropical Storm Ionia
The ITCZ remained active in early March, spawning a tropical depression in the northern Mozambique Channel on March 2. It failed to organize at first, although an increase in convection on March 3 allowed the system to strengthen into Tropical Storm Ionia. That day, it attained peak winds of 65 km/h (40 mph). After passing about 50 km (30 mi) north of Juan de Nova island, Ionia progressed southeastward and approached the western Madagascar coastline. The circulation paralleled the coast for about 250 km (160 mi) before moving ashore at Belo on March 4. The storm weakened over land, re-emerging over open waters on March 5 from southeastern Madagascar. Ionia briefly re-intensified into a tropical depression that night, but it lost tropical characteristics on March 7. The remnants persisted several more days until dissipating south of the Mascarene Islands on March 11.


1992–93 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Systems, Moderate Tropical Storm Ionia
The fifth depression of the season to move across Madagascar, Ionia dropped heavy rainfall, reaching 356 mm (14 in) in some areas; this caused river flooding in southern Madagascar. The storm left 3,644 people homeless and killed eight.


1992–93 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Systems, Intense Tropical Cyclone Jourdanne
After a period of inactivity lasting slightly less than a month, the tropics became active again in early April when the ITCZ spawned an area of convection in the northeastern portion of the basin. This was in association with a preexisting low-pressure area, and developed into a tropical disturbance on April 2. On the next day, the JTWC began tracking the system as Tropical Cyclone 24S. The system moved to the west-southwest due to a ridge to the south, gradually intensifying due to favorable conditions, such as warm water temperatures.


1992–93 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Systems, Intense Tropical Cyclone Jourdanne
On April 4, the system intensified into a tropical storm and was given the name Jourdanne. An eye developed on April 5, indicating that the storm attained tropical cyclone status. Although the convection was initially elongated, Jourdanne became much more symmetrical on April 6, which corresponded to its peak 10-minute intensity of 165 km/h (105 mph) that day. Around the same time, the JTWC estimated peak 1-minute winds of 230 km/h (145 mph), which was tied for the strongest system in the southern hemisphere in the cyclone year by the agency.


1992–93 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Systems, Intense Tropical Cyclone Jourdanne
Due to a trough in the region, Jourdanne executed a small loop and turned to a southeast drift. Gradually increasing wind shear induced weakening, causing the eye to dissipate on April 7. On the next day, Jourdanne weakened below tropical cyclone intensity, and on April 9, the convection was stripped from the center. By the next day, Jourdanne was no longer a tropical disturbance, although its remnants persisted April 15.


1992–93 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Systems, Tropical Cyclone Konita
A low-pressure area formed on April 29 to the southeast of the Chagos Archipelago with an area of convection, but it failed to organize into a tropical disturbance until May 2. By that time, the JTWC was already classifying it as Tropical Cyclone 26S, and the system gradually organized while moving southwestward. Despite being late in the season, the system intensified into Tropical Storm Konita on May 4, and the next day attained tropical cyclone status.


1992–93 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Systems, Tropical Cyclone Konita
The upgrade was based on satellite imagery showing an eye, with MFR estimating peak 10-minute winds of 130 km/h (80 mph), and JTWC estimating 1-minute winds of 165 km/h (105 mph). By the time of peak intensity, Konita was moving more to the south into an area of weak steering currents. A trough northwest of the storm caused the convection to rapidly diminish, leaving the center exposed from the thunderstorms on May 6. After moving erratically to the northeast and looping, Konita dissipated on May 7. The storm did not directly affect land, although it indirectly caused an increase of rainfall over Seychelles.


1992–93 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Systems, Other systems
In addition to the 11 named storms, one of which failed to attain tropical storm status, there were several additional systems. The first was Tropical Depression C1, that originated from the ITCZ in the northeastern portion of the basin from a small area of convection on November 24. It moved westward with pulsating convection around the center, failing to organize due to the presence of wind shear. On December 4, the system organized into a tropical disturbance, and three days later it passed about 400 km (250 mi) north of the northern tip of Madagascar.

That day, it intensified to tropical depression status, reaching peak winds of 50 km/h (30 mph). Increased wind shear weakened the convection, and the circulation dissipated on December 10. On December 18, a tropical low developed in the Australian basin northeast of the Cocos Islands. It moved southwestward, intensifying into a tropical storm and being named Ken by the BoM. Wind shear in the region prevented much development, and the storm crossed into the south-west Indian Ocean on December 21. At that time, the MFR classified the system as Tropical Depression C2, but the agency only issued two warnings. The JTWC tracked the system until December 23 when the system dissipated well to the southwest of Indonesia.

On December 24, a cold front exited the southern African coastline, accompanied by a low-pressure area that moved into the Mozambique Channel. The system produced a large area of convection, and with warm water temperatures in the area, the low gradually organized. On December 26, the MFR began tracking the system off the southwest coast of Madagascar. Around that time, the convection began to wrap into the center, while the system produced gale-force winds on Europa Island. The storm tracked generally to the southeast, passing south of Madagascar while intensifying gradually. Due to the structure, the storm was considered a subtropical depression. Late on December 26, the storm attained peak winds of 65 km/h (40 mph), but subsequently, increased wind shear caused weakening. The subtropical storm continued to the southeast until December 30, when an approaching trough absorbed it.

After the subtropical depression dissipated, there were three additional depressions before Tropical Cyclone Colina developed on January 11. The ITCZ became active toward the end of February. On February 24, Tropical Disturbance H1 formed from a low-pressure area to the west of Réunion. It moved quickly to the southeast, intensifying into a tropical depression, but dissipating on February 26 when it was absorbed into a trough. A day later, another disturbance formed near Réunion, which produced torrential rainfall, reaching 1 to 2 m (3.3 to 6.6 ft) in some locations. The system moved westward, intensifying into a tropical depression after further organization. Despite not being a tropical storm, the system was named Hutelle by the Meteorological Service of Madagascar on March 1. Shortly thereafter, Hutelle made landfall near Mahanoro, Madagascar, and dissipated the next day.

1992–93 Southampton F.C. season
The 1992–93 Southampton F.C. season was the club's first season in the Premier League, and their 23rd season in the top division of English football. As co-founders of the Premier League, the club looked to retain their status as one of the top clubs in the country by ensuring a 16th consecutive season in the top flight. Southampton finished 18th in the league, just one point above the relegation zone – their worst top division finish since their relegation in 1974. They also reached the third round of the FA Cup and the League Cup.

Southampton were relatively inactive in the 1992 summer transfer window, making only three purchases before the start of the season – striker Kerry Dixon for £575,000 and defender Ken Monkou for £750,000, from Chelsea and winger Perry Groves from Arsenal. A number of players were sold by the club, most notably striker Alan Shearer who moved to Blackburn Rovers in July for a British transfer fee record of £3.6 million, with David Speedie moving the other way as part of the deal. Later in the year, Frankie Bennett and Derek Allan were brought into the club, both for nominal fees, while David Lee was sold to Bolton Wanderers and new arrival Dixon left on a free transfer for Luton Town.

At the end of the season Southampton finished 18th in the Premier League table with 13 wins, 11 draws and 18 losses, just two positions and one point above the relegation zone. Matthew Le Tissier was the club's top scorer, with 15 goals in the league and 18 in all competitions. Goalkeeper Tim Flowers was named Southampton Player of the Season, becoming only the second player (after Peter Shilton) to win the award twice (and twice in a row). At the end of the season, strikers Perry Groves and David Speedie were released from the club. It was also the last full season for Flowers, who left the club in November 1993, as well as Glenn Cockerill who departed the club in December 1993.

Southampton's first season in the newly formed Premier League did not get off to a positive start, as the club won only two of their first ten games, overcoming Middlesbrough and Coventry late to win 2–1 on both occasions. Between 31 October and 12 December 1992 the team progressed up the table as they went unbeaten for six games, including wins against Oldham Athletic, Nottingham Forest, and Arsenal. Over the Christmas period Southampton were less fortunate, losing three out of four of their matches in late December and early January and dropping back down to the relegation zone as a result.

Throughout the rest of January, February and March though, Southampton were one of the more consistent sides in the league, winning a total of seven matches out of 11. Wins included a comfortable 3–0 against Norwich City (their best result of the season), a 2–1 edging of Liverpool at home, and a dramatic 4–3 triumph over Ipswich Town in which Matthew Le Tissier scored a last-minute goal to claim the three points for the home side.

One of their losses, 2–4 against Tottenham Hotspur, saw the Saints sacrifice a 1–0 lead to concede four goals from the hosts in a single five-minute period, with a consolation goal scored by Richard Hall later on. During this period, the Hampshire side made it to a peak of ninth in the table.

After three losses in a row though, Southampton were again struggling to regain a respectable position in the league table, although did pick up a 1–0 win over Chelsea late in the campaign. The final run of games started with a disappointing 2–5 loss to Sheffield Wednesday, followed by a goalless draw with Everton and frustrating losses against Manchester City and Oldham Athletic. Despite the team losing 3–4 in the final match of the season, Le Tissier established himself as a key part of the Saints side when he scored a hat-trick at Oldham to bring his league tally up to 15.
