2007–08 Serbian SuperLiga, Relegated teams
However, following speculation on June 29, 2008 that 7th placed SuperLiga team - Mladost from Lučani - might decline the opportunity to compete in 2008–09 SuperLiga season due to lacking the funds required to compete at the top level, the official confirmation of their decision came on July 2, 2008. The possibility of Mladost Lučani being relegated two levels down to Srpska Liga as punishment was initially talked about, nut the club was eventually moved only one level down to First League for the 2008–09 season.


2007–08 Serbian SuperLiga, Relegated teams
By the decision of Serbian Football Association (FSS), the relegated team that ended up keeping its SuperLiga status as a result of Mladost's withdrawal became 11th placed Banat Zrenjanin, not the 10th placed FK Smederevo. The FA made the decision based on their opinion that Banat Zrenjanin has better support of the sponsors and its community (city of Zrenjanin) than does FK Smederevo.

The decision caused a lot of controversy and protest from FK Smederevo officials who claimed they should've been given the opportunity to retain the SuperLiga status after Mladost's withdrawal. They even launched an official appeal with UEFA, but it got rejected.


2007–08 Serbian SuperLiga, Relegated teams
So, in the end, the three 2007–08 SuperLiga teams that will not compete in the 2008–09 SuperLiga season are:


2007–08 Serie A
The 2007–08 Serie A (known as the Serie A TIM for sponsorship reasons) was the 106th season of top-tier Italian football, the 76th in a round-robin tournament. It started on 25 August 2007 and ended on 18 May 2008. Internazionale successfully defended the championship on the final day of the season, finishing first with 85 points, three ahead of Roma.


2007–08 Serie A, Events, Plusvalenze investigation
Inquiries are being conducted by the CO.VI.SOC. (Italian football's financial watchdogs) into the finances of four Serie A clubs (Internazionale, Milan, Sampdoria, and Reggina) who stand accused of falsely inflating player values - a practice known as plusvalenze in Italian - in order to qualify financially for the 2005–06 Serie A. If the allegations prove true, penalties could range from fines to point deductions, relegation to Serie B, and even the stripping of Internazionale's 2005-06 scudetto (which was actually stripped from Juventus as a result of the Calciopoli scandal before being awarded to Internazionale).


2007–08 Serie A, Events, Lazio fan killed by police
On the morning of 11 November 2007 26-year-old Lazio fan Gabriele Sandri, a DJ from Rome, was killed by a shot in his neck while sitting inside a car, by a policeman, after some other fans of Lazio violently assaulted a group of Juventus ultras with stones on the A1 Motorway service station of Badia al Pino in Arezzo. Early reports suggested that a stray bullet from a gun, set to distract the group of ultras, hit the Lazio fan in the neck as he sat in a car and killed him.


2007–08 Serie A, Events, Lazio fan killed by police
An emergency meeting set up between Lega Calcio president Antonio Matarrese and police chief Antonio Manganelli decided that the game between Inter and Lazio would be called off, but the rest of the fixtures would go ahead that day, starting at a slightly later time (about 10 minutes later). The Atalanta–Milan game was eventually suspended following unrest caused by local ultras attempting to break off the protection glass in order to invade the pitch and stop the match.


2007–08 Serie A, Events, Lazio fan killed by police
Later in the afternoon, the Italian Football Federation chose to postpone also the game between AS Roma and Cagliari, whose kick off was scheduled for 8:30 pm at Stadio Olimpico, Rome. However, this did not prevent violent riots, as hundreds of armed hooligans attacked a police barracks and the CONI (Italian Olympic National Committee) headquarters in Rome.

Though Sandri's death was later held by some to have been caused by a tragic error by a policeman who claimed his gun went off as he was running. Prosecutors then opted initially to open an inquiry into manslaughter against the policeman, nevertheless the initial hearing held that Sandri's death was culpable homicide, and the policeman involved (Luigi Spaccarotella) was condemned to 6 years imprisonment. On appeal, the higher court not only confirmed this judgment, but increased the punishment to 9 years and 4 months as an element of intentionality was found.


2007–08 Serie A, Events, Final week
The championship was decided in the final week, as Inter, who managed to secure even an 11-point advantage to rivals Roma in mid-season, lost almost all of it in the final weeks, maintaining only a one-point advantage with only one match to play. In the final week, both Inter and Roma were scheduled to play away matches opposed to relegation-battling sides, respectively Parma and Catania. Both matches were successively forbidden to be attended by Inter and Roma fans.


2007–08 Serie A, Events, Final week
In the end, Inter secured the scudetto with a 2–0 win, with both goals being scored in the second half by Zlatan Ibrahimović, who recovered from a long-time injury in time to play the game, whereas Roma only managed to achieve a 1–1 draw at Stadio Angelo Massimino against Walter Zenga's Catania, a result which allowed the Sicilian side to escape relegation at the expense of Empoli and Parma.


2007–08 Serie A (ice hockey) season
The 2007–08 Serie A season was the 74th season of the Serie A, the top level of ice hockey in Italy. Nine teams participated in the league, and HC Bolzano won the championship by defeating SV Ritten in the final.


2007–08 Serie B
The 2007–08 Serie B regular season is the seventy-sixth since its establishment. It started on August 25, 2007, and ended with the promotion playoff final on June 15, 2008.


2007–08 Serie B
At the end of the year, three teams were promoted to Serie A, the first two via direct promotion (league champions, Chievo Verona, and Bologna), and the third team after two rounds of playoffs (Lecce).


2007–08 Serie B
Four teams were relegated to Serie C1. The bottom three were relegated directly (Cesena, Spezia and Ravenna), as was the fourth-to-last team (Avellino), since they finished 9 points back of the fifth-to-last, Treviso, denying them a chance at a survival "relegation-playoff".


2007–08 Serie B
The 2007–08 Serie B season marked the first appearance in the division for newly promoted Grosseto. Ravenna and Chievo returned to the second-highest Italian division after six years, their last time in Serie B having been in 2001 (both, in fact, returned to the leagues from which they'd come after this season). Pisa returned to Serie B after 13 years, surprisingly qualifying for the promotion playoffs.


2007–08 Serie B, Teams
The following 22 clubs comprise the Serie B in 2007-08:


2007–08 Serie B, Events
In November, it was announced that Serie B matches, as well as Serie C matches, would be postponed for one week after increasing violence surrounding Italian football matches, in which football fans attacked police, stemming from the shooting of a Lazio fan by a policeman. Serie A matches were unaffected as none were scheduled for that weekend due to an international match between Italy and Scotland.


2007–08 Serie B, Events
On January 19, at the conclusion of the andata (first half of the league season), Chievo Verona and Bologna were named winter co-champions.


2007–08 Serie B, Events, Promotions
With a 1–1 draw away to Grosseto on Matchday 41, Chievo Verona mathematically assured themselves of promotion to Serie A.


2007–08 Serie B, Events, Promotions
On the final matchday, Bologna's 1–0 victory over Pisa rendered Lecce's victory by the same score immaterial; Bologna secured the second direct promotion. Chievo Verona's 2–2 draw with Bari outdistanced the rossoblu, however, giving the mussi volanti their first league title in 14 years.


2007–08 Serie B, Events, Promotions
Lecce were instead left to contest the two-round promotion playoff with AlbinoLeffe, Brescia and Pisa, which will determine the identity of the 20th and final team in Italy's top flight.


2007–08 Serie B, Events, Relegations
On Day 40, Cesena became the first team mathematically relegated to Serie C1 with its 2–1 loss at Treviso. Although Cesena could still have finished 19th at the time, at best it would have been 5 points behind 18th-placed Treviso, a condition that would have made playouts unnecessary.


2007–08 Serie B, Events, Relegations
Then on Day 41, another Treviso win—coupled with concurrent losses by Ravenna, Avellino, and Spezia—ensured that none of those three teams would finish within 4 points of the veneti, consigning all three of them to Serie C1.


2007–08 Serie C1
The 2007–08 Serie C1 season was the thirtieth football league season of Italian Serie C1 since its establishment in  1978. It was divided into two phases: the regular season, played from September 2007 to May 2008, and the playoff phase from May to June 2008.


2007–08 Serie C1
The league was composed of 36 teams divided into two divisions of 18 teams each, whose teams were divided mainly according to geographical principles.


2007–08 Serie C1

In all, four teams (Sassuolo, Cittadella, Salernitana, and Ancona) were promoted to Serie B, and six teams (Pro Patria, Lecco, Manfredonia, Lanciano, Sangiovannese, and Martina) were relegated to Serie C2.


2007–08 Serie C1, Events

The league featured four teams relegated from Serie B in 2006-07 (Verona, Arezzo, Crotone and Pescara) and six promoted from Serie C2 (Legnano, Foligno, Sorrento, Lecco, Paganese and Potenza).


2007–08 Serie C1, Events
The divisions' composition was confirmed as usual according to latitude. However a number of South teams were included in a division different from their best fitting one in order to reduce the number of potentially heated local derbies. This caused all Tuscan clubs to be included in the Serie C1/B division, otherwise composed mostly by teams hailing from South of Italy, whereas two teams from Campania and two from Apulia were included in the Serie C1/A, which instead features mostly teams from the North.


2007–08 Serie C1, Events, Promotions
On 27 April 2008, with one week in the regular season yet to be played, both Sassuoloand Salernitana were mathematically ensured of their respective division titles, thus winning promotion to Serie B for the 2008-09 season.

2007–08 Serie C2, Events
The line-up was announced on July 19, 2007. The only team excluded because of financial troubles was Tempio, Serie D - Girone B winners in 2006–07.

The nine division winners were automatically promoted to 2008–09 Lega Pro Seconda Divisione, while the two last-placed teams were automatically relegated to Eccellenza.


2007–08 Serie D
After the regular season was completed, teams placed 13 through to 16 in each division played a double-leg series (13 vs 16, 14 vs 15) where the winners remained in Serie D the following season and the two losers were also relegated to Eccellenza for a total of 4 relegations in each division, 36 in total for the league.


2007–08 Serie D
The nine division winners entered a tournament to determine the over-all Serie D champion and was awarded the Scudetto Dilettanti.


2007–08 Serie D
Teams placed second through fifth in each division entered a play-off tournament after the regular season as well. The results of the play-offs provided a list, starting with the winner, by which vacancies could be filled in Lega Pro Seconda Divisione, if teams in the professional leagues above Serie D run into financial difficulties or are penalized.


2007–08 Serie D, Events and results, Promotions
On March 30, 2008, Alessandria from Girone A and Isola Liri from Girone G were mathematically ensured of the Serie D title in their respective divisions five weeks before the end of the regular season, thus winning promotion to Serie C2.

Of the 18 teams that lost in the relegation play-offs, nine were eventually selected to remain in Serie D for the 2008–09 season in order to fill the vacancies created when nine extra teams were called up from Serie D to Serie C2, now called Lega Pro Seconda Divisione.


2007–08 Serie D, Events and results, Relegations
The nine vacancies in Serie C2 were created by the bankruptcies and other financial problems of nine teams in total that played in Serie B, C1 & C2 in 2007–08. As teams moved up to fill the void, nine spaces were left to be filled in Serie C2. As mentioned, five teams that played in Serie D in 2007–08 received extra promotions, while four teams initially relegated from C2 were called back.


2007–08 Serie D, Events and results, Relegations

Sheffield United competed in the Football League Championship during the 2007–08 football season, after being relegated from the Premier League during 2006–07.


2007–08 Sheffield United F.C. season, Season summary
Manager Bryan Robson was dismissed in February with Sheffield United nowhere near a position good enough for an immediate return to the Premier League. His replacement, Kevin Blackwell, improved United's form sufficiently that they were still mathematically in with a shout of a play-off place until the last day of the season, but a shock loss to relegation-threatened Southampton ended any such hopes (though results elsewhere meant that the Blades wouldn't have made the play-offs even had they won), and United finished in a relatively disappointing 9th position.


2007–08 Sheffield United F.C. season, Kit
Sheffield United maintained both their kit manufacturing agreement with French company Le Coq Sportif, who produced a new home kit for the season, and their kit sponsorship agreement with American bank Capital One.

The 2007–08 season was the 108th season of competitive association football and 57th season in the Football League played by Shrewsbury Town Football Club, a professional football club based in Shrewsbury, Shropshire, England. Their seventh-place finish in 2006–07 and loss to Bristol Rovers in the 2007 Football League Two play-off Final meant it was their fourth successive season in League Two. During the summer of 2007 the club moved home stadium from Gay Meadow, where they had played since 1910, to New Meadow (also known as Oteley Road Stadium). The season began on 1 July 2007 and concluded on 30 June 2008.


2007–08 Shrewsbury Town F.C. season

David Hibbert finished as leading scorer with 12 goals, all of which came in league competition. Hibbert also received the most yellow cards, being booked in nine matches.

2007–08 Shrewsbury Town F.C. season, Background and pre-season
Shrewsbury Town left their home stadium Gay Meadow after 97 years at the end of the 2006–07 season. There were various reasons the club decided to move stadium, most notably due to the close proximity to the River Severn making it prone to flooding. A new stadium with a capacity of 10,000 spectators was built as a replacement for Gay Meadow, it was known during the building phase and the club's first season there as both New Meadow and Oteley Road Stadium, with the former being the final name (excluding names used for sponsorship purposes). The first match at the new stadium was played on the 14 July 2007 against A-Line All Stars, a goal each from David Hibbert, Danny Hall, Tom Moss and trialist Kieran Donnolly gave Shrewsbury a 4–0 win.

Shrewsbury made two permanent summer signings, those being defender Colin Murdock from Rotherham United, and striker Fola Onibuje from Wycombe Wanderers. Striker Stuart Nicholson was brought it on a scheduled season-long loan from West Bromwich Albion.


2007–08 Shrewsbury Town F.C. season, Summary and aftermath
For the first six games Shrewsbury occupied a top seven place, enough for either automatic promotion or qualification in the League Two play-offs. From match seven Shrewsbury were in lower midtable for the rest of the season. Though never dropping as low as 23rd or 24th, the club went on a run of one win in 20 matches which brought them into the relegation battle, but a 3–0 win against Wrexham was enough for Shrewsbury to survive. The club finished in 18th place in the league table. Ben Herd made the most appearances for the club playing in 48 of the 50 first-team matches. David Hibbert was top scorer with 12 goals, all of them scored in League Two, and was the only player to reach double figures.

2007–08 South Pacific cyclone season
The 2007–08 South Pacific cyclone season was one of the least active South Pacific tropical cyclone seasons on record, with only four tropical cyclones occurring within the South Pacific basin to the east of 160°E. The season officially ran from November 1, 2007, until April 30, 2008, although the first cyclone, Tropical Depression 01F, developed on October 17. The most intense tropical cyclone of the season was Severe Tropical Cyclone Daman, which reached a minimum pressure of 925 hPa (27.32 inHg) as it affected Fiji. After the season had ended, the names Daman, Funa, and Gene were retired from the tropical cyclone naming lists.


2007–08 South Pacific cyclone season
During the season, tropical cyclones were officially monitored by the Regional Specialized Meteorological Centre (RSMC) in Nadi, Fiji, and the Tropical Cyclone Warning Centre (TCWC) in Wellington, New Zealand. Throughout the season the United States Navy and Air force also monitored the basin and issued unofficial warnings, through its Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC). Tropical cyclones that were located between 160°E and 120°W as well as the Equator and 25°S were monitored by RSMC Nadi while any that were located to the south of 25°S between 160°E and 120°W were monitored by TCWC Wellington. During the season, RSMC Nadi and TCWC Wellington estimated sustained windspeeds over a 10-minute period and used the Australian Tropical Cyclone intensity scale, while the JTWC estimated sustained windspeeds over a 1-minute period with windspeeds compared to the Saffir–Simpson hurricane scale.


2007–08 South Pacific cyclone season, Seasonal forecasts
During October 2007, both RSMC Nadi and New Zealand's National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research (NIWA), issued forecasts for a near to below average season, due to the presence of a weak La Niña event. As a result of these conditions, neither agency predicted how many tropical cyclones would develop but noted that on average 6–8 cyclones could be expected to develop during a weak La Niña season. According to RSMC Nadi, Fiji was likely to be affected by one to two tropical cyclones, while two to three were likely to pass through Fiji's exclusive economic zone.


2007–08 South Pacific cyclone season, Seasonal forecasts
However this prediction was revised in early February, after Daman, Funa and Gene had affected the archipelago. According to NIWA there was an average risk of a tropical cyclone coming within 550 km (340 mi) of Tuvalu, Fiji, Tonga, Tokelau, Wallis and Futuna, and Northern New Zealand, while the risks for the Solomon Islands, Vanuatu, New Caledonia, Samoa and Niue were variable and uncertain. All other islands though faced a reduced risk off being affected by a tropical cyclone.


2007–08 South Pacific cyclone season, Seasonal summary
On October 17, RSMC Nadi reported that Tropical Depression 01F had developed about 670 km (420 mi) to the west of the Solomon Islands. Over the next few days, the depression moved slowly towards the east, before RSMC Nadi issued their final advisory on 01F early on October 19, as it had become sheared and had weakened into a tropical low. After 01F weakened into a tropical low-pressure system and dissipated the basin remained quiet until November 20 when Tropical Disturbance 02F developed into a tropical depression.


2007–08 South Pacific cyclone season, Seasonal summary
After developing into a tropical depression, 02F remained weak and unorganized before rapidly dissipating during November 22. RSMC Nadi also reported during November 22, that a weak tropical disturbance had developed on the edge of the basin about 280 km (175 mi) to the south of Honiara, on the Solomon Island of Guadalcanal.


2007–08 South Pacific cyclone season, Systems, Tropical Depression 02F
Tropical Disturbance 02F developed within the South Pacific convergence zone on November 20, about 900 km (560 mi) to the northeast of Suva, Fiji. During that day the disturbance moved towards the south and slightly developed further before it was designated as Tropical Depression 02F. However convection surrounding the system was poorly organized and remained so over the next couple of days, as it moved southwards into an area of high vertical windshear and cooler sea surface temperatures. The depression was subsequently last noted on November 22, as it dragged a convergence zone over Fiji which led to an episode of significant widespread rain and brought fresh to strong winds to Fiji.


2007–08 South Pacific cyclone season, Systems, Tropical Depression 03F
On November 22, RSMC Nadi reported that a weak tropical disturbance had developed on the edge of the basin, about 285 km (175 mi) to the south of Honiara on the Solomon Island of Guadalcanal. Over the next couple of days the depression moved towards the east and gradually developed further before RSMC Nadi designated it as Tropical Disturbance 03F on November 24, while it was located about 400 km (250 mi) to the northeast of Port Vila on the Vanuatuan island of Efate. During that day the disturbance continued to move eastwards before later that day, RSMC Nadi reported that 03F had developed into a tropical depression.


2007–08 South Pacific cyclone season, Systems, Severe Tropical Cyclone Daman
Cyclone Daman was the strongest cyclone of the season. On December 3, the Regional Specialized Meteorological Centre (RSMC) in Nadi, Fiji, upgraded a tropical disturbance, located to the west of the Solomon Islands, to Tropical Depression 04F. On December 5, as the depression moved towards the west into the Fijian archipelago, both the Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC) and RSMC Nadi upgraded it to Cyclone Daman. On December 7 the cyclone reached its peak intensity with winds of 185 km/h, (115 mph 10-minute sustained) which made Daman a Category 4 cyclone on the Australian Tropical Cyclone Intensity Scale.


2007–08 South Pacific cyclone season, Systems, Severe Tropical Cyclone Daman
Later that day Daman also reached its peak intensity by 1-minute means with winds of 205 km/h (125 mph) which made it a Category 3 tropical cyclone on the Saffir–Simpson hurricane scale. Early on December 8, Cyclone Daman brushed by the Fijian island of Cikobia, causing damage to housing, crops and vegetation. Daman then weakened the next day into a tropical depression and dissipated on December 10.


2007–08 South Pacific cyclone season, Systems, Tropical Depression 05F
Early on December 11, RSMC Nadi reported that Tropical Depression 05F had developed within a surface trough, about 670 km (415 mi) to the northeast of Apia on the Samoan Island of Upolu. The depression was embedded within a convergence zone and had 10-minute sustained windspeeds of 55 km/h (35 mph) to 65 km/h (40 mph). Convection surrounding the depression was not organized and was only active within the northern and eastern quadrants.


2007–08 South Pacific cyclone season, Systems, Tropical Depression 05F
Over the next few days RSMC Nadi issued special weather bulletins for the Southern Cook Islands as 05F and an intense high-pressure system were forecast to produce gale-force winds over several of the Cook Islands. The depression was then last noted by RSMC Nadi on December 14, as it and the high-pressure system started to weaken after causing gale-force winds, flooding and significant swells.


2007–08 South Pacific cyclone season, Systems, Tropical Disturbance 06F
On December 26, RSMC Nadi reported that Tropical Disturbance 06F had developed about 680 km (420 mi) to the northeast of Avarau on the Southern Cook Island of Rarotonga in an area of high vertical windshear. Over the next couple of days, the system moved towards the south and convection surrounding the system remained unorganized, while the low level circulation centre was detached from the convection and became exposed. The disturbance was last noted by RSMC Nadi on December 28, as it approached TCWC Wellington's area of responsibility.


2007–08 South Pacific cyclone season, Systems, Tropical Cyclone Elisa
At 1800 UTC on January 7, RSMC Nadi reported that a poorly organized Tropical Depression 07F, had developed within a slow moving trough of low pressure about 600 km (370 mi), to the east of Suva, Fiji. The JTWC then started to monitor 07F during January 8 and reported that convection was displaced to the south of the systems well defined low level circulation center, however an upper-level low was preventing convection directly forming over the center.


2007–08 South Pacific cyclone season, Systems, Tropical Cyclone Elisa
Over the next couple of days, the depression slowly developed further as it moved towards the south in an area of hostile vertical windshear. RSMC Nadi and the JTWC then reported at 0000 UTC on January 10, that 07F had developed into a tropical cyclone with RSMC Nadi naming it Elisa while located about 55 km (35 mi) to the southwest of Nukuʻalofa, Tonga.


2007–08 South Pacific cyclone season, Systems, Tropical Cyclone Elisa
During that day as windshear relaxed, Elisa intensified further, before RSMC Nadi and the JTWC reported at 1800 UTC that the cyclone had reached its peak sustained windspeeds of 95 km/h (60 mph), equivalent to a tropical storm and a category 2 tropical cyclone. During January 11, Elisa recurved towards the southeast into a region of cooler waters and stronger windshear, as a result the cyclone weakened into a depression, with RSMC Nadi and the JTWC issuing their final advisories later that day.


2007–08 South Pacific cyclone season, Systems, Tropical Cyclone Elisa
Elisa brought heavy rain to Tonga and Niue, and damaged several fruit-bearing trees in Tongatapu and Eua. High seas and a high surf moved several small vessels and fishing boats ashore in Nukuʻalofa.


2007–08 South Pacific cyclone season, Systems, Tropical Depression 08F
On January 9, RSMC Nadi designated a low-pressure area northeast of Vanuatu as Tropical Depression 08F. The depression moved eastwards over the next few days but did not intensify any further. RSMC Nadi then downgraded the depression to a tropical disturbance early on January 14 and then released their final tropical disturbance summary.


2007–08 South Pacific cyclone season, Systems, Severe Tropical Cyclone Funa
On February 15, RSMC Nadi and the JTWC reported that a tropical depression had developed within a monsoon trough, about 700 km (435 mi) to the northeast of Port Vila on the Vanuatuan island of Efate. During that day the depression moved eastwards and gradually developed further, before as vertical windshear slackened a little, the JTWC and RSMC Nadi reported that the depression had developed into a tropical cyclone with the later naming it as Funa at 0600 UTC on February 16.


2007–08 South Pacific cyclone season, Systems, Severe Tropical Cyclone Funa
It then started to move eastwards and passed very near the next day to the northern tip of Aurora Island, Vanuatu with wind speeds of 55 knots (102 km/h) which made Funa a category two cyclone on the Australian scale.


2007–08 South Pacific cyclone season, Systems, Severe Tropical Cyclone Funa
After leaving Vanuatu, Funa intensified slowly becoming a Category 3 severe Tropical cyclone on January 18 and then early the next day it reached its peak wind speeds of 95 knots (176 km/h) which is the same as a category 4 cyclone according to the Southern Pacific Cyclone Scale. The JTWC measured Funa's peak winds at 105 knots (194 km/h). The storm then moved into TCWC Wellington area of responsibility it started to weaken and then became extra tropical the next day with the JTWC issuing their final advisory on January 20, with TCWC Wellington downgrading it to a low later that day.


2007–08 South Pacific cyclone season, Systems, Tropical Depression 11F
RSMC Nadi identified a Tropical Disturbance in the southern Central Pacific Ocean located to the east of Pago Pago on January 19 and started to issue summaries on it. The next day it intensified into a tropical depression and was designated the number 11F by RSMC Nadi. However the tropical depression did not strengthen any further as it moved southwards towards the edge of RSMC Nadi's area of responsibility with TCWC Wellington. Late on January 23 RSMC Nadi issued its last warnings on 11F as the depression had moved into TCWC Wellingtons area of responsibility. However the next day the system became extratropical as it was about southwest of Tonga'tapu.


2007–08 South Pacific cyclone season, Systems, Severe Tropical Cyclone Gene
On January 26, RSMC Nadi and the JTWC started to monitor a weak tropical disturbance that had developed within a monsoon trough about 290 km (180 mi) to the northeast of Rotuma. The disturbance initially moved towards the southeast before it recurved and started to move towards the southwest and Fiji during the next day, while gradually developing further in an area of low vertical windshear.


2007–08 South Pacific cyclone season, Systems, Severe Tropical Cyclone Gene
At 1800 UTC on January 27, the JTWC reported that the disturbance had developed into Tropical Cyclone 15P, while it moved towards the southwest and hugged Vanua Levu's southeastern coast, under the influence of a ridge of high pressure that was located to the southeast of the system. 15P's development was hindered while it was located over land, however it did not weaken significantly because it was located in an area of favourable upper-level conditions. As the centre of 15P emerged into and passed over the Bligh Waters, convection erupted around the system and for humanitarian reasons, RSMC Nadi named the system, Gene at 0000 UTC on January 28, before 6 hours later reporting that Gene had become a Category 1 tropical cyclone.


2007–08 South Pacific cyclone season, Systems, Severe Tropical Cyclone Gene
During that day the newly named cyclone, moved towards the west-southwest across the Bligh Water, before it made landfall near Lautoka, Viti Levu, as a Category 1 tropical cyclone. After it emerged back into the Pacific Ocean Gene intensified slowly. becoming a Category 3 severe tropical cyclone on January 30. Gene then reached its peak winds of 150 km/h (95 mph) the next day. On February 1, Gene began to weaken becoming a Category 2 cyclone with wind speeds of 100 km/h (60 mph).


2007–08 South Pacific cyclone season, Systems, Severe Tropical Cyclone Gene
It kept this intensity until it had crossed 25°S and had moved into TCWC Wellington's Area of responsibility, when Gene intensified back into a severe tropical cyclone. Gene then slowly weakened with JTWC reporting that Gene had become an extra tropical cyclone on February 6. TCWC Wellington then released their final advisory on February 9.


2007–08 South Pacific cyclone season, Systems, Severe Tropical Cyclone Gene
Cyclone Gene caused widespread damage to several of Fiji's main islands, including Viti Levu, Vanua Levu, Taveuni, Yasawa, Mamanuca, and other outlying island groups, and killed 8 people. The cyclone also caused severe damage to Vanautu's Futuna island after its outer bands lashed the island with gale-force windspeeds and heavy rain for 12 hours.


2007–08 South Pacific cyclone season, Systems, Tropical Depression 14F
On March 19, an area of disturbed weather west of Vanuatu, was designated as Tropical Disturbance 14F by RSMC Nadi. Later that day 14F had intensified enough to be upgraded to a tropical depression by RSMC Nadi. The next day the Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC) issued a Tropical Cyclone Formation Alert on the depression. Later that day the JTWC initiated advisories on the depression designating it as Tropical Cyclone 24P. The Tropical Depression then reached its peak wind speeds of 30 knots (56 km/h) that day.


2007–08 South Pacific cyclone season, Systems, Tropical Depression 14F
On March 21, The Depression encountered an unfavourable environment of moderate to high vertical wind shear and weakened with the JTWC issuing its final advisory that day. Early on March 22 RSMC Nadi downgraded Tropical Depression 14F to Tropical Disturbance 14F and then the next day issued their last advisory on the tropical disturbance.


2007–08 South Pacific cyclone season, Systems, Tropical Depression 15F
On April 4, RSMC Nadi reported that Tropical Disturbance 15F had developed within the Australian region, about 415 km (260 mi) to the north-northeast of New Caledonia's Chesterfield Islands. During that day as the system moved into the South Pacific basin, it developed into a tropical depression. The system subsequently moved south-eastwards and passed between Vanuatu and New Caledonia, before it was last noted on April 7, while it was located about 750 km (465 mi) to the northeast of Norfolk Island.


2007–08 South Pacific cyclone season, Systems, Tropical Depression 16F
On April 16, a tropical disturbance developed about 1365 km (835 mi) northwest of New Caledonia, consisting of an elongated circulation within a marginal upper-level environment. Despite anticipation that tropical cyclogenesis was unlikely in the short term, deep convection rapidly developed over an increasingly better defined circulation, with an anticyclone aloft aiding in intensification.


2007–08 South Pacific cyclone season, Systems, Tropical Depression 16F
Late on April 17, the Fiji Meteorological Service classified the system as Tropical Depression 16F, and early the next day the Joint Typhoon Warning Center classified it as Tropical Cyclone 27P. Initially, it was forecast to intensify further; however, the storm quickly became disorganized as wind shear increased. At 0000 UTC on April 19, the JTWC issued its final warning on the system as it began dissipating. with RSMC Nadi issuing its final tropical disturbance summary on the depression later that day.

2007–08 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season
The 2007–08 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season was the third most active tropical cyclone season, along with the 1985–86 season and behind the 1993–94 season and the 2018–19 season, with twelve named tropical cyclones developing in the region. It began on November 15, 2007, and ended on April 30, 2008, with the exception for Mauritius and the Seychelles, which ended May 15. These dates conventionally delimit the period of each year when most tropical cyclones form in the basin, which is west of 90°E and south of the Equator. Tropical cyclones in this basin are monitored by the Regional Specialised Meteorological Centre in Réunion.


2007–08 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Systems, Tropical Cyclone 01U
On July 26, a tropical disturbance developed within a near-equatorial trough. The next day, convection began to develop around the low while located about 1,500 kilometres (930 mi) east of Diego Garcia. Moderate wind shear temporarily caused the convection to become displaced from the center on July 27. However, later that day, the Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC) assessed the chances of the low developing into a tropical cyclone as "fair". By July 29 the low was designated as Tropical Disturbance 01 while located near the edge of Météo-Frances area of responsibility. With developing banding features, increasing convection and very warm sea-surface temperatures (exceeding 28 °C; 82.4 °F), the JTWC issued a Tropical Cyclone Formation Alert for the low as they assessed the chances of development of a tropical cyclone within 48 hours as "good".


2007–08 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Systems, Tropical Cyclone 01U
In the post-storm report issued by the Australian Bureau of Meteorology, the system was estimated to have become a Category 1 cyclone, with winds peaking at 75 km/h (45 mph), shortly before leaving Météo-Frances area of responsibility early on July 29. After leaving Météo-Frances area of responsibility, the JTWC designated the storm as Tropical Cyclone 01S. In Météo-Frances post-storm analysis, the disturbance was declassified as a tropical cyclone and the numbering, 01, was removed for unknown reasons.


2007–08 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Systems, Tropical Disturbance 01
The first officially recognized tropical disturbance developed early on October 10. The disturbance featured persistent convection around an elongated low level circulation located about 600 kilometres (370 mi) west-northwest of Diego Garcia. With marginally favorable. conditions for further development, the JTWC assessed the chances of the low developing into a tropical cyclone as "poor". Further development took place later that day, with banding features developing and deepening convection as it traveled towards the south-southwest. In response to the increased development, the JTWC increased the chances of a tropical cyclone developing to "fair". On October 12 Météo-France designated the system as Tropical Disturbance 01-20072008. However, little or no further development was expected.


2007–08 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Systems, Tropical Disturbance 01
Late on October 12 through early on October 13, Dvorak Technique intensity estimates for the low from the JTWC reached T2.5—the equivalent of a minimal tropical storm—and there was a possibility that the system was briefly a tropical storm by one-minute standards. Despite favorable upper-level conditions and low wind shear, the disturbance was situated over cool sea-surface temperatures which provided little energy to fuel convective activity. With little thunderstorm and shower activity development, Météo-France issued their final advisory on the dissipating low the next day. Since the disturbance never impacted land, there were no reports of damage or injuries from it.


2007–08 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Systems, Severe Tropical Storm Lee–Ariel
On November 13, the Australian Bureau of Meteorology (BoM) began monitoring a tropical low situated about 835 km (519 mi) northwest of the Keeling Islands. The next day, the low was upgraded to a Category 1 cyclone and given the name Lee. Shortly after being named, the JTWC issued a Tropical Cyclone Formation Alert as deep convection persisted around the center of circulation. The system was moving towards the southwest within an area of moderate wind shear. Several hours later, the JTWC designated Lee as Tropical Cyclone 03S.


2007–08 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Systems, Severe Tropical Storm Lee–Ariel
With continued development, Lee strengthened into a Category 2 cyclone, according to the BoM, with winds of 95 km/h (60 mph 10-minute winds). At 1200 UTC, Lee crossed into Météo-France's area of responsibility at peak intensity. Upon entering their AoR, it was given a second name, Ariel, and designated as a severe tropical storm.


2007–08 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Systems, Severe Tropical Storm Lee–Ariel
Roughly six hours later, the JTWC assessed Lee–Ariel to have reached its peak intensity with winds of 110 km/h (70 mph 1-minute sustained), based on the development of an eye-like structure. The next day, foreword motion slowed significantly due to a subtropical ridge located to the north of the storm. This ridge also caused the storm to turn towards the west, keeping a slow pace. Strong wind shear began to impact the system later that day, causing it to weaken into a moderate tropical storm. Despite the strong shear, most forecast models showed the storm re-intensifying several days out in an area of lower shear. Most of the deep convection was torn away from the system, with little remaining around the center of circulation.


2007–08 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Systems, Severe Tropical Storm Lee–Ariel
The storm weakened to a tropical depression around 0600 UTC on November 17 as convection continued to dissipate. Despite moving into an area favorable for intensification, Météo-France issued their final advisory on ex-Lee–Ariel on November 18 as it continued to weaken. The remnants of the system persisted for another ten days, completing an erratic counter-clockwise loop before taking a general westward direction.


2007–08 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Systems, Severe Tropical Storm Bongwe
An area of disturbed weather developed east of Diego Garcia on November 15. The system slowly organised as it moved southeastward and began interacting with Severe Tropical Storm Ariel, and the Joint Typhoon Warning Center issued a Tropical Cyclone Formation Alert on November 17. The JTWC upgraded the system to Tropical Cyclone 04S early the next day. Also on November 18, RSMC La Réunion classified the system as Tropical Disturbance 03. Later that day, RSMC La Réunion upgraded it to Tropical Depression 03.


2007–08 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Systems, Severe Tropical Storm Bongwe
It was upgraded to Moderate Tropical Storm Bongwe on November 19 and a Severe Tropical Storm later that day. Increased wind shear early on November 20 slowed the intensification trend, and weakened it to a moderate tropical storm. However, it restrengthened to a severe tropical storm on November 22. The restrengthening trend was short-lived, however, as the storm weakened once again on November 23, down to a depression and then a disturbance, until it finally dissipated on November 24.


2007–08 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Systems, Moderate Tropical Storm Celina
An area of disturbed weather developed early on the December 12 north-northeast of Rodrigues. Later that day it was designated as Tropical Disturbance 04R. The Joint Typhoon Warning Center then issued a Tropical Cyclone Formation Alert on the developing system late on December 12. The JTWC issued its first warning on December 13, designating the storm as Tropical Cyclone 06S. Although the low level circulation center was exposed the system was upgraded to a tropical depression by Météo-France on December 14 due to a better low level circulation. Early on December 17 Mauritius Meteorological Service upgraded the system to a moderate tropical storm and named it "Celina" as it approaches Mauritius Island.


2007–08 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Systems, Moderate Tropical Storm Celina
Weakening took place on December 18, and the JTWC issued its final advisory early that day. Météo-France maintained the system as a tropical depression. Météo-France issued its final advisory on December 21 as it began to dissipate just east of southeastern Madagascar.


2007–08 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Systems, Moderate Tropical Storm Celina
On December 20, the remnant low of Celina passed about 60 km (37 mi) southwest of Reunion, producing heavy rains over the island. Some areas received 114 millimetres (4.5 in) of rain in the span of three hours, with the highest total amounting to 374 mm (14.7 in) in La Plaine des Chicots. These rains led to the death of one woman after she drowned in her car which was overcome by floodwaters in a ravine. Wind gusts were recorded up to 130 km/h (80 mph).


2007–08 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Systems, Moderate Tropical Storm Dama
An area of disturbed weather begin developing east of 90°E near Cocos Island, eventually crossing into the southwestern Indian Ocean early on December 17. The Joint Typhoon Warning Center issued a Tropical Cyclone Formation Alert early December 18. RSMC Réunion designated the system a tropical disturbance early in the afternoon as the convection begin to deepen and isolate itself from the disturbance to its northwest. The Joint Typhoon Warning Center designated the tropical disturbance as Tropical Cyclone 07S. The weak vertical wind shear allowed the system to deepen into a tropical depression in the early evening of December 18.


2007–08 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Systems, Moderate Tropical Storm Dama
The system temporarily reached moderate tropical storm intensity on December 19 but persistent vertical wind shear caused it to rapidly weaken back into a tropical depression. However, the next day, decreasing wind shear allowed convection to form closer to the center for 05R to reclassify as a moderate tropical storm status and earned the name "Dama." The Joint Typhoon Warning Center and Météo-France issued its final advisory on December 21 as it transitioned to an extratropical system.


2007–08 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Systems, Moderate Tropical Storm Elnus
Early on December 30 an area of disturbed weather formed west of Madagascar and was designated as 06R. Later that day it was upgraded to Tropical Disturbance 06R, whilst the Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC) issued a Tropical Cyclone Formation Alert on the developing system. On December 31, Météo-France upgraded the disturbance to tropical depression status. Soon after, the JTWC upgraded the system to Tropical Cyclone 09S. Early on January 1, the depression was upgraded to Moderate Tropical Storm Elnus, while located in the Mozambique Channel.


2007–08 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Systems, Moderate Tropical Storm Elnus
On January 2, Météo-France downgraded the system to Tropical Depression ex-Elnus, and then to a tropical disturbance the next day. The JTWC issued its last advisory on January 4 as it transitioned to an extratropical system. Météo-France noted the storm was becoming extratropical on January 4, and on January 6 issued its final advisory on Extratropical Depression ex-Elnus as the system passed to the south of Madagascar.


2007–08 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Systems, Moderate Tropical Storm Elnus
On January 3, Elnus passed about 75 km (47 mi) east of Europa Island, producing winds up to 57 km/h (35 mph) along with a pressure of 997 hPa (mbar). The storm also enhanced rainfall, peaking around 150 millimetres (5.9 in), over parts of Malawi, causing minor flooding. Heavy rains in Madagascar briefly displaced 90 families in Antananarivo.


2007–08 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Systems, Tropical Disturbance 07
On January 6, the JTWC began monitoring an exposed low-level circulation located about 695 km (432 mi) north of Réunion traveling towards the south. Although moderate wind shear hampered significant development, deep convection developed towards the north of the low. Early the next day, the low was designated as Tropical Disturbance 07-20072008 by Météo-France. Later that day, despite weakening wind shear and increasing convection, the disturbance degenerated into a zone of disturbed weather. Although convection began to decrease by January 8, due to increasing wind shear, Météo-France redesigned the system as a tropical disturbance.


2007–08 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Systems, Tropical Disturbance 07
At this time, the disturbance was assessed to have reached its peak intensity with winds of 35 km/h (20 mph) with a minimum pressure of 1003 hPa (mbar). Later that day, the low rapidly weakened and dissipated while located northwest of Réunion. Due to the proximity to Réunion, the disturbance produced numerous showers and thunderstorms for a few days.


2007–08 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Systems, Tropical Cyclone Fame
An area of disturbed weather formed north of Madagascar and was designated as Tropical Disturbance 08R on January 24. On the next day it was upgraded to Tropical Depression 08R by Météo-France, while the Joint Typhoon Warning Center issued a Tropical Cyclone Formation Alert on the developing system. it was then upgraded to "Moderate Tropical Storm Fame" by the Sub-Regional Tropical Cyclone Advisory Centre in Madagascar. It remained nearly stationary and by January 26 it was upgraded to a severe tropical storm. The storm made landfall over northwestern Madagascar as a severe tropical storm on January 27.


2007–08 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Systems, Tropical Cyclone Fame
Later that day the system temporarily reached tropical cyclone stage just before landfall near Malagasy. It dissipated early on January 28 over Madagascar. The system, however, regenerated on January 29 as it re-emerged over water and became a tropical depression once again. However, Fame did not strengthen further due to interaction with Cyclone Gula, and after being declared extratropical, Météo-France redeclared the system tropical and issued its last advisory.


2007–08 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Systems, Tropical Cyclone Fame
Strong winds from the storm damaged numerous mobile homes, shrubbery, and trees. At least 13 people were killed and about 20,000 people were left homeless. Maximum sustained winds were recorded up to 120 km/h (75 mph) and rainfall peaked at 146.7 millimetres (0.28 in) in Besalampy. Total damages from the storm were estimated at 100 million Malagasy ariary ($51,000 USD). After regenerating in the southern Indian Ocean, Fame produced torrential rains over Reunion, peaking at 875 mm (34.4 in) over a three-day span, 731 mm (28.7 in) of which fell in 48 hours. The system, in combination with Gula, produced high waves, peaking at 8 m (26.2 ft) along the coasts of Reunion. A peak wind gust of 112 km/h (70 mph) was recorded at Gros Piton Ste-Rose


2007–08 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Systems, Tropical Cyclone Gula
An area of disturbed weather formed over the south-central Indian Ocean in the fourth week of January. It slowly developed and Météo-France began monitoring it as a disturbed area of weather on January 26. It was upgraded to a tropical depression later that day and was named as moderate tropical storm Gula on January 27 by the Mauritius Meteorological Service. Intensification continued and it was upgraded to a severe tropical storm on January 28. The intensification trend became more rapid early on January 29 as a clear eye developed and the storm became a tropical cyclone. After weakening and oscillating between severe and moderate tropical storm status, Météo-France declared it an extratropical depression, and then issued its last advisory on February 2.


2007–08 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Systems, Intense Tropical Cyclone Hondo
The third tropical cyclone and first intense tropical cyclone of the season, Hondo developed out of a tropical disturbance in early February about 1,020 km (630 mi) east-southeast of Diego Garcia. The disturbance quickly strengthened, becoming a moderate tropical storm on February 4 and a severe tropical storm the following day.


2007–08 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Systems, Intense Tropical Cyclone Hondo
After a brief period of slower intensification, Hondo rapidly intensified into an intense tropical cyclone and reached its peak intensity with winds of 215 km/h (130 mph 10-minute winds) on February 7. Around the same time that Météo-France assessed Hondo to have peaked, the JTWC reported that the storm had attained winds of 240 km/h (150 mph 1-minute winds), equivalent to a strong Category 4 hurricane.


2007–08 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Systems, Intense Tropical Cyclone Hondo
The cyclone gradually weakened over the next several days due to an increase in forward speed and a decrease in sea surface temperatures. On February 12, Hondo rapidly degenerated into a remnant-low-pressure area. Over the following week, the remnant low traveled in a general west-northwest direction with no development. On February 20, about 2,780 km (1,730 mi) northeast of where the final advisories were issued, the storm began to regenerate. The next day, advisories were issued on Tropical Disturbance Ex-Hondo, which briefly strengthened into a tropical depression.


2007–08 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Systems, Intense Tropical Cyclone Hondo
However, according to the Joint Typhoon Warning Center, Hondo continued to strengthen and attained winds of 95 km/h (60 mph 1-minute winds) before passing directly over Réunion. Interaction with the island caused the storm to weaken and degenerate into a remnant low once more. The storm dissipated on February 29 after executing a counterclockwise loop.


2007–08 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Systems, Intense Tropical Cyclone Hondo
Sustained winds of 50 km/h (30 mph) with gusts up to 76 km/h (47 mph) were recorded on Mauritius while sustained winds of 55 km/h (35 mph) with gusts up to 99 km/h (62 mph) were recorded on Réunion. The highest rainfall total was recorded at Takamaka, totaling to 750 mm (29.5 in). Up to 760,000 people were affected on Réunion and overall damage was minimal.


2007–08 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Systems, Intense Tropical Cyclone Ivan
Early on February 7, an area of disturbed weather northeast of Madagascar, heading southeast, was designated Tropical Depression 11R. Like Cyclone Hondo before it, the storm intensified quickly into Moderate Tropical Storm Ivan, then reached severe status a few hours later. Severe status was held until February 11, when Ivan became a tropical cyclone for a short time. Ivan was moving quite slowly, and this, coupled with medium shear, weakened it to moderate tropical storm status by February 12. During this time, Ivan made two complete loops in the open sea.


2007–08 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Systems, Intense Tropical Cyclone Ivan
However, by February 14, it had sped up and entered a more favourable environment, becoming a severe tropical storm. On February 15, Ivan was reupgraded to a tropical cyclone as favourable conditions persisted. Ivan was further upgraded to an Intense Tropical Cyclone on February 16 as it moved closer to Madagascar. Ivan made landfall north of Fanoarivo, Madagascar on February 17. Once overland, rapid weakening occurred due to the rugged terrain of the island. Ivan was forecast to regenerate over the Mozambique Channel into a tropical depression once it left Madagascar.


2007–08 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Systems, Intense Tropical Cyclone Ivan
Ivan traversed Madagascar, heading southwest. Its remnants emerged back over water on February 21, and Météo-France resumed advisories on "filling depression Ex-Ivan". Ivan, severely disrupted by Madagascar, did not strengthen any further; the last advisory was issued on February 22.


2007–08 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Systems, Intense Tropical Cyclone Ivan
A preliminary casualty estimate due to Ivan is 93. The cyclone left over 330,000 homeless. Sainte Marie, the island where Ivan made landfall, is estimated to have 75% of its buildings completely destroyed. Total damages from Ivan total more than $30 million (2008 USD).


2007–08 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Systems, Intense Tropical Cyclone Jokwe
On March 4, the JTWC issued a Tropical Cyclone Formation Alert on an area of disturbed weather developing northeast of Madagascar. Soon after, Météo-France upgraded the system to tropical disturbance status. Early on March 5, the JTWC issued its first advisory on the developing system, designating it as Tropical Cyclone 22S. Later that day, the disturbance was upgraded to Moderate Tropical Storm Jokwe. At noon on March 6, after a bout of rapid intensification, Jokwe was upgraded to a tropical cyclone, skipping severe storm status. After being briefly downgraded to a severe tropical storm, Jokwe was reupgraded to a tropical cyclone, then an intense tropical cyclone on the evening of March 7. Jokwe made landfall between Mozambique Island and Angoche Island early on March 8.


2007–08 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Systems, Intense Tropical Cyclone Jokwe
Over the next two days, Jokwe fell down to severe tropical storm following land interaction with Mozambique. Later that day, Jokwe was reupgraded to a tropical cyclone, and became an intense tropical cyclone again early on March 11. Jokwe then came under the influence of moderate windshear, and weakened down to a severe tropical storm again by March 12. Jokwe was re-upgraded to a Tropical Cyclone early March 13, but was soon downgraded again to a severe tropical storm later that day due to another increase in wind shear. Shear had been steadily increasing, and on March 13 Jokwe's movement slowed down drastically; it moved around the same general area of ocean and weakened. Final warnings were issued by the JTWC late March 14, and by Météo-France early March 15.


2007–08 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Systems, Intense Tropical Cyclone Jokwe
44 houses were destroyed in Madagascar as Jokwe hit the northern tip of the island. At least 20 people were killed and over 9,000 homes destroyed as Jokwe passed through north-eastern Mozambique. At least 100,000 have been displaced by Jokwe. The United Nations World Food Program (WFP) provided emergency food aid to 60,000 people affected by Jokwe in Mozambique.


2007–08 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Systems, Intense Tropical Cyclone Kamba
On March 5, MFR classified a tropical disturbance just outside of their area of responsibility. By March 7, deep convection developing along the western half of the system as the vertical wind shear—previously inhibiting development—began to weaken. Later that day, MFR upgraded the disturbance to a tropical depression. Late on March 8, the depression further strengthened into a tropical storm; it was subsequently assigned the name Kamba by the Meteorological service in Mauritius, a name contributed by the Comoros. Wind shear continued to impact the organization of the system as the eastern portion of the storm remained partially exposed.


2007–08 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Systems, Intense Tropical Cyclone Kamba
Tracking southwest, Kamba quickly intensified into a severe tropical storm at 1200 UTC on March 9 as winds increased to 95 km/h (60 mph 10-minute winds). Not long after being upgraded to a severe tropical storm, the JTWC estimated that Kamba had strengthened into the equivalent of a Category 1 hurricane with winds of 120 km/h (75 mph). Early on March 10, Kamba began to undergo rapid intensification and Météo-France upgraded the storm to a tropical cyclone as an eye developed. At this time, Kamba also started to turn towards the south as it tracked around the northwestern edge of a strong subtropical ridge.


2007–08 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Systems, Intense Tropical Cyclone Kamba
With low wind shear, Kamba continued to intensify throughout the first half of March 10, reaching its peak intensity with winds of 185 km/h (115 mph 10-minute winds) with a minimum pressure of 930 hPa (mbar) at 1200 UTC according to Météo-France. Kamba developed a 46 km (28 mi) wide eye as it reached peak intensity. Shortly after, the JTWC upgraded Kamba to a Category 4 equivalent cyclone with winds of 215 km/h (135 mph 1-minute winds). By March 11, Kamba began to move over cooler waters and into an area of higher wind shear, causing the storm to deteriorate.


2007–08 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Systems, Intense Tropical Cyclone Kamba
About 24 hours after reaching peak intensity, the storm began to undergo an extratropical transition and weakened to a tropical cyclone. Early on March 12, the JTWC issued their final advisory on Kamba as it rapidly weakened over open waters. At the same time, Météo-France further downgraded the cyclone to a severe tropical storm as winds dropped below 120 km/h (75 mph 10-minute winds). Kamba further weakened to a moderate tropical storm as convection associated with the storm significantly diminished. The final advisory by Météo-France was issued shortly after as the storm degenerated into a remnant-low-pressure area. The remnants of Kamba persisted for a few more days before ultimately dissipating at 0600 UTC on March 14.


2007–08 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Systems, Moderate Tropical Storm Lola
An area of disturbed weather north east of Mauritius, identified on March 20, became a tropical disturbance on March 21, and a depression later that day. The JTWC initiated advisories on Tropical Cyclone 25S around the same time. The system became Moderate Tropical Storm Lola early March 22 based on it having gale-force winds in the southern quadrant far away from the center and due to it having deep convection. Lola weakened back to a tropical depression that afternoon as it began to suffer from moderate to strong northeasterly shear. It alternated between depression and disturbance a few times, until the final advisory was issued on a zone of disturbed weather on March 26. The JTWC had issued its final advisory two days earlier, on March 24.


2007–08 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Storm names
A tropical disturbance is named when it reaches moderate tropical storm strength. If a tropical disturbance reaches moderate tropical storm status west of 55°E, then the Sub-regional Tropical Cyclone Advisory Centre in Madagascar assigns the appropriate name to the storm. If a tropical disturbance reaches moderate tropical storm status between 55°E and 90°E, then the Sub-regional Tropical Cyclone Advisory Centre in Mauritius assigns the appropriate name to the storm. A new annual list is used every year so no names are retired.

2007–08 Southampton F.C. season, Season summary
In the 2007–08 season, the Saints initially had an unremarkable campaign, with the club in mid-table for the first half of the campaign. Once again though, Southampton experienced a major loss of form in the spring, not helped by managerial instability caused by the resignation of George Burley followed by caretaker spells by John Gorman and then Nigel Pearson, and were left in serious danger of relegation to League One on the last day of the season. However, a win combined with some other favourable results ensured their survival for another season in the Championship.
