2009–10 South Pacific cyclone season
The 2009–10 South Pacific cyclone season began on December 3, 2009 with the formation of Tropical Disturbance 01F, 32 days after the cyclone season had officially begun on November 1, 2009. The season ended on April 30, 2010. These dates conventionally delimit the period of each year when most tropical cyclones form in the southern Pacific Ocean east of 160°E. Additionally, the regional tropical cyclone operational plan defines a tropical cyclone year separately from a tropical cyclone season; the "tropical cyclone year" began on July 1, 2009 and ended on June 30, 2010.


2009–10 South Pacific cyclone season
Tropical cyclones between 160°E and 120°W and north of 25°S are monitored by the Fiji Meteorological Service. Those that move south of 25°S are monitored by the Tropical Cyclone Warning Centre in Wellington, New Zealand. The first tropical disturbance of the season formed on December 3, about 1015 km (700 mi) to the north of Suva, Fiji and later intensified into Tropical Cyclone Mick. The last system, 15F, dissipated on April 5 of the following year.


2009–10 South Pacific cyclone season, Seasonal outlooks
Ahead of the cyclone season, RSMC Nadi, TCWC Wellington, the Australian Bureau of Meteorology (BoM), the New Zealand National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research (NIWA) and various other Pacific Meteorological services, all contributed towards the Island Climate Update tropical cyclone outlook that was released during October 2009. The outlook took into account the El Niño conditions and normal developments during a near-normal season. The outlook called for a near average number of tropical cyclones for the 2009–10 season, with eight to eleven tropical cyclones, to occur between 135°E and 120°W compared to an average of about nine.


2009–10 South Pacific cyclone season, Seasonal outlooks
At least two of the tropical cyclones were expected to become category 3 severe tropical cyclones, while one was likely to become a category 4 severe tropical cyclone. The outlook also noted that it was likely that the first storm would develop prior to the end of December. During February 2010, a seasonal forecast update was issued which maintained the original forecast of eight to eleven named tropical cyclones. In addition to contributing towards the Island Climate Update outlooks, RSMC Nadi issued their own seasonal forecast for their area of responsibility.


2009–10 South Pacific cyclone season, Seasonal outlooks
Within their outlook RSMC Nadi predicted that between eight and eleven tropical cyclones, would occur within the basin compared to an average of around 9. At least two of the tropical cyclones were expected to become category 3 severe tropical cyclones, while one was likely to become a category 4 severe tropical cyclone.


2009–10 South Pacific cyclone season, Seasonal outlooks
Both the Island Climate Update and RSMC Nadi's tropical cyclone outlooks assessed the risk of a tropical cyclone affecting a certain island or territory. Regional sea surface temperatures indicated that the Coral Sea was warmer than normal, but this was not expected to increase the risk of tropical cyclones in the western South Pacific. As a result, it was predicted that the island nations located to the west of the International Date Line, would face a near average risk of being affected by a tropical cyclone.


2009–10 South Pacific cyclone season, Seasonal outlooks
However island nations to the east of the dateline such as Niue and Tonga, faced an increased risk of being affected by a tropical cyclone. It was also noted that cyclones could affect parts of southwest French Polynesia and the southern Cook Islands during an El Niño, while the number of ex tropical cyclones coming to within 550 km (340 mi) of New Zealand was expected to remain about normal. Within the Island Climate Update forecast update it was reported that the Solomon Islands faced an increased risk of tropical cyclones affecting them.


2009–10 South Pacific cyclone season, Seasonal summary
The 2009–10 South Pacific cyclone season was near its climatological average, with eight tropical depressions intensifying into tropical cyclones within the South Pacific to the east of 160°E, while another system became a tropical cyclone after it had left the basin. a warm ENSO episode persisted during the season through April, peaking in late December. The El Niño event slowly decayed due to consistently negative SOI values and weak trade winds in the tropics. The active Madden–Julian oscillation phases generally occurred during periods of increased convective activity in the region, but in March, only a weak pulse traversed the region but at the same time an Equatorial Rossby wave tracked westwards and triggered Cyclone's Tomas and Ului.


2009–10 South Pacific cyclone season, Seasonal summary
Tropical Cyclone Mick was the first tropical disturbance to grace the waters of the South Pacific Ocean during the season. Tropical Cyclone Mick originally developed as a Tropical Disturbance on December 3, and gradually developed before it was named Tropical Cyclone Mick late on December 12.

Tropical Depression 10F formed on February 9 near 13S 172W, in the vicinity of Samoa. Late on February 11, RSMC Nadi upgraded the storm to a category 1 cyclone and named it Rene. It continued to strengthen as it moved south of American Samoa, and reached Category 4 on February 14. In American Samoa roads were damaged by landslides caused by the cyclone's heavy rain, and substantial damage was caused to crops. It had weakened to category 3 when it passed through the Vava'u island group of Tonga, and on February 15 the eye was reported to have passed over the Tongan capital Nuku'alofa. The main island of Tongatapu was left without power and water.


2009–10 South Pacific cyclone season, Storms, Tropical Cyclone Sarah
On February 17, RSMC Nadi commenced reporting on an unnumbered tropical disturbance located near 8.6ºS 162.0ºW, about 120 miles (190 km) north-northwest of Rakahanga in the Cook Islands. RSMC Nadi reported that the disturbance was moving west while the JTWC reported that the disturbance was moving east. Eventually, they both agreed on which direction it was moving and RSMC Nadi upgraded the disturbance to Tropical Depression 11F. It soon weakened, but remained identifiable until February 22 when it was again classified as a Tropical Depression. On February 26 it was at last upgraded to Tropical Cyclone Sarah and Tropical Storm by JTWC, being then about 90 miles (140 km) north of Palmerston Island.


2009–10 South Pacific cyclone season, Storms, Severe Tropical Cyclone Ului
Tropical Disturbance 13F formed on March 9 at 12.0ºS 167.0ºE, about 80 miles (130 km) north of Hiw Island, Vanuatu. The next day it was classified as a Tropical Depression. On March 12, 13F was upgraded to Tropical Cyclone Ului. By early on the 13th, it was a category 2 cyclone. Later that day, Ului strengthened into a category 3, making it a severe tropical cyclone. The storm continued to strengthen throughout the day and that night it became a category 5. Ului became the first category 5 South Pacific cyclone since Severe Tropical Cyclone Percy in February 2005. On March 14, Ului exited the Pacific Region and entered the Australian Region.


2009–10 South Pacific cyclone season, Storms, Severe Tropical Cyclone Tomas
Shortly after the first advisory on Tropical Disturbance 13F was issued on March 9, the FMS began monitoring a new disturbance, designated 14F, further east. The following day, deep convection began to develop around the disturbance's low-level circulation, prompting the JTWC to begin monitoring it for possible cyclonic development. Later on March 10, the FMS upgraded the system to a tropical depression as it continued to become better organized. Located within an environment characterized by low wind shear, further intensification was anticipated as convection continued to develop over the expanding system.


2009–10 South Pacific cyclone season, Storms, Severe Tropical Cyclone Tomas
Around 1500 UTC on March 11, the JTWC issued their first advisory on the cyclone, classifying it as Tropical Storm 19P. Several hours later, the FMS upgraded the system to a Category 1 cyclone and gave it the name Tomas. Rapid intensification was expected to take place over the following 48 hours as sea surface temperatures ahead of the storm averaged 30 °C (86 °F), well-above the threshold for tropical cyclone development. Throughout the day on March 12, Tomas steadily intensified, and early the next day, the JTWC upgraded the storm to a Category 1 equivalent hurricane with winds of 120 km/h (75 mph).


2009–10 South Pacific cyclone season, Storms, Severe Tropical Cyclone Tomas
Convective banding substantially increased on March 13, allowing Tomas to become the fourth severe tropical cyclone of the season early the next morning. Around the same time, the JTWC assessed the storm to have attained winds of 155 km/h (95 mph), ranking it as a Category 2 cyclone. By the afternoon of March 14, Tomas had developed a banding-eye feature surrounded by deep convection. At this point, the FMS assessed the storm to have winds of 150 km/h (95 mph) and a pressure of 950 hPa (mbar).


2009–10 South Pacific cyclone season, Storms, Severe Tropical Cyclone Tomas
The JTWC also noted further intensification, upgrading Tomas to a Category 3 equivalent storm. Tomas intensified on the night of March 14 and became a Category 4 severe tropical cyclone(according to the FijiMeteorological Service) with winds up to 170 km/h and gusts up to 215 km/h blowing roofs off some houses and damaging buildings around the eastern side of Vanua Levu.


2009–10 South Pacific cyclone season, Storms, Severe Tropical Cyclone Tomas
Throughout Fiji, Cyclone Tomas wrought widespread damage, killing two people and leaving $83.4 million in losses. One person was killed on Vanua Levu after being swept out to sea by large swells while trying to rescue her two sisters, a niece and a nephew near Namilamila Bay.


2009–10 South Pacific cyclone season, Storms, Tropical Depression 15F
During March 30, RSMC Nadi reported that a depression had developed, along a trough of low pressure about 450 km (280 mi) to the southeast of Port Vila, Vanuatu. During that day the system moved southeastwards before it was designated as Tropical Depression 15F during the next day.


2009–10 South Pacific cyclone season, Storms, Other systems
The following weak tropical disturbances and depressions were also monitored by RSMC Nadi, however these systems were either short lived or did not develop significantly. During December 6, Tropical Disturbance 02F developed within a trough of low pressure about 1000 km (620 mi), to the north of Suva, Fiji. Over the next few days, the disturbance moved towards the southeast and remained weak, before it was last noted on December 11 as 01F developed into a tropical depression. Depression 03F, developed on January 7, about 770 km (480 mi) to the southwest of Papeete on the French Polynesian island of Tahiti.

2009–10 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season
The 2009–10 South-West Indian Ocean tropical cyclone season was a near average event in tropical cyclone formation. The season officially started on July 1, 2009, and ended on June 30, 2010, after incorporating the tropical cyclone season which ran from November 1 to April 30 for all areas except for Mauritius and the Seychelles, for which it ended on May 15, 2010. In this basin which officially runs from 30 to 90E, and is, to the south of the equator, the main warning center is the Regional Specialized Meteorological Center on La Réunion Island; however they delegate the naming of Cyclones to the Meteorological services of Mauritius and Madagascar.


2009–10 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season
It was predicted by the Mauritius Meteorological service that there would be between nine and eleven named storms in the South West Indian Ocean during the season. Their further assessment that there was a good probability of a named storm forming in November was justified when Tropical Cyclone Anja formed on November 14.


2009–10 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Systems, Tropical Disturbance 01
Early on August 17, the JTWC reported that an area of disturbed weather had formed about 1200 kilometres, (750 miles), to the east of Diego Garcia. The convection had a developed low level circulation center, however convection had not started to consolidate around it and was in an area of strong vertical wind shear. During that day the disturbance gradually developed further as the environment around it gradually improved and was designated as Tropical Disturbance 01 by RSMC La Réunion early the next day. However, later that day they downgraded it to a zone of disturbed weather and released their final advisory on the disturbance as it had remained weak with the low level circulation center remaining weak and exposed. Over the next few days it weakened further before dissipating on August 20.


2009–10 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Systems, Zone of Disturbed Weather 02
During September 17, both TCWC Jakarta and the JTWC reported that an area of convection had persisted about 740 km (460 mi), to the south east of Sumatra in Indonesia. Satellite imagery was showing that the convection was slowly starting to consolidate with a well defined low level circulation centre off the western coast of Sumatra. However it was not expected to develop any further due to being in area of high vertical wind shear in excess of 40 knots (74 km/h). Despite this it was designated as a tropical low early the next day by TCWC Perth.


2009–10 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Systems, Zone of Disturbed Weather 02
The JTWC then declared early the next day that the disturbance had dissipated as it crossed 90E and moved into RSMC La Réunion's area of responsibility. TCWC Perth continued to monitor the tropical low as it slowly developed further until early on September 20 when RSMC La Réunion designated it as the second Zone of Disturbed Weather of the 2009–10 as convection had developed over the system and the amount of vertical wind shear over the system had dropped. However, they released their final advisory later that day, as convection had dissipated in the northern quadrants of the system.


2009–10 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Systems, Tropical Disturbance 03
Early on November 7, the JTWC issued a Tropical Cyclone Formation Alert on a system north of Diego Garcia. Later that day, RSMC La Réunion upgraded the system to a tropical disturbance. Despite forecasts that the system would strengthen to a depression, it was substantially affected by shear, and as a result, the JTWC cancelled their TCFA on November 9.


2009–10 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Systems, Intense Tropical Cyclone Anja
RSMC La Réunion commenced advisories on Tropical Disturbance 04 on November 14, raising the status to a Tropical Depression later the same day. At the time of formation, it was some 390 mi (630 km) south of Diego Garcia. Throughout that day, and into the 15th, Anja rapidly intensified from a severe tropical storm to a tropical cyclone on the MFR scale and a Category 3-equivalent cyclone on the Saffir–Simpson hurricane scale (SSHS), while remaining well away from land.


2009–10 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Systems, Intense Tropical Cyclone Anja
The system displayed annular characteristics and was very small; its diameter was 60 nautical miles (110 km) and it displayed a pinhole eye. The storm peaked at a Category 3-equivalent intensity and held its strength until November 17 when the storm rapidly weakened to a tropical storm. Final advisories were issued on November 18 as the system weakened to a depression and became extratropical.


2009–10 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Systems, Moderate Tropical Storm Bongani
On November 22, RSMC La Réunion commenced issuing advisories for Tropical Disturbance 05 about 500 mi (800 km) northeast of Madagascar. The next day it strengthened to a Moderate Tropical Storm and was named 'Bongani'. On November 23–24, the system remained small sized and was undergoing a temporarily southeasterly constraint. According to CIMSS data (MIMIC-TPW), the dry air that was to the southwest of the system interfered with circulation of the system and temporarily limited the intensification rate. On the morning of November 24, Bongani rapidly weakened into a tropical disturbance.


2009–10 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Systems, Moderate Tropical Storm Bongani
The remnants of Bongani brought unsettled weather to the Mayotte Islands. Moderate rains affected the region between November 26 and 27; waves associated with the storm also averaged 3 m (9.8 ft) along coastal areas with some reaching 6 m (20 ft). In the nearby Comoros Islands, waves were similarly high, with the highest reaching 5 m (16 ft).


2009–10 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Systems, Intense Tropical Cyclone Cleo
On December 6, a strong tropical disturbance 06 newly formed in the central Indian Ocean. The storm was expected to strengthen slowly, however, the next day, the disturbance strengthened into a severe tropical storm while being given a designation as Tropical Cyclone 03S by the JTWC. On 8 December it strengthened rapidly to become the first Intense Tropical Cyclone of the season and a Category 4-equivalent cyclone on the Saffir–Simpson hurricane scale (SSHS).


2009–10 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Systems, Intense Tropical Cyclone Cleo
It sustained this strength for a day peaked at a Category 4-equivalent intensity and held its strength as a high strong category 4-equivalent, then on the 10th slowly weakened to a category 2 equivalent cyclone. The weakening continued steadily, and the final advisory was issued on December 12 when the remnants were 370 miles (600 km) north of Rodrigues. Later that day, the remnants of Ex-Cleo regenerated to a tropical depression, but it weakened to a tropical disturbance and dissipated on December 14.


2009–10 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Systems, Moderate Tropical Storm David
On December 12, a zone of disturbed weather formed in the Southern Indian Ocean near the border with the Australian sector. The next day the RSMC classified it as Tropical Disturbance 07, and JTWC as Tropical Cyclone 05S, but its movement to cooler water and higher levels of wind shear weakened the tropical system on the 14th. The remnants continued to show a Low level Circulation Centre accompanied by flaring convection as they headed west or northwest, and the organisation began to improve again on the 19th.


2009–10 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Systems, Moderate Tropical Storm David
It continued to organize throughout the next day, and by the 21st of December it was named Moderate Tropical Storm David by the Mauritius Meteorological Service. It then reversed its direction of motion and headed east-southeast while strengthening to a Severe Tropical Storm. Its strength fluctuated for the next few days, and by Christmas Day it was moving very little and windshear weakened it to a Tropical Disturbance. The final advisory from the RSMC was issued on December 25, although the remnant continued to produce bursts of poorly organized convection for several days as it reversed direction again and headed west.


2009–10 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Systems, Moderate Tropical Storm David
In post-season analysis, David was downgraded to a Moderate Tropical Storm as winds were reassessed to have never exceeded 85 km/h (55 mph).


2009–10 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Systems, Moderate Tropical Storm David
On December 29, the remnants of David brought heavy rain to the islands of Mauritius and Réunion. Most of Mauritius recorded over 100 mm (3.9 in) of rain within a 24-hour span, with a maximum of 146.2 mm (5.76 in) in Mon Loisir Rouillard. Widespread flash flooding took place across the island, resulting in over 20 calls to firefighters for rescue. Officials deployed special mobile forces in several cities due to the risk of increased flooding.


2009–10 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Systems, Very Intense Tropical Cyclone Edzani
Tropical Low 03U of the Australian Region crossed the 90ºE meridian on 4 January and was designated Tropical Disturbance 8 by RSMC La Réunion. The system showed two low-level circulation centres for a while, but on 5 January these consolidated, and the combination was upgraded to a Tropical Depression. At 0300 UTC on January 6, the JTWC starts issuing advisories designating the system as 07S, and shortly thereafter the RSMC upgraded it to Moderate Tropical Storm Edzani.


2009–10 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Systems, Very Intense Tropical Cyclone Edzani
Early on January 7, RSMC La Réunion upgraded Edzani to a Severe Tropical Storm, and it strengthened rapidly throughout the day to become an Intense Tropical Cyclone. The next day it became a Very Intense Tropical Cyclone and category 5 (1 min 260 kmh) by JTWC, the first since Juliet in April 2005. On January 9, Edzani was downgraded to an Intense Tropical Cyclone due to decreasing sea surface temperatures. It continued to weaken during the day, as sea surface temperatures continued to decrease. By January 10, it was only a Tropical Cyclone, and within the next few days it weakened to Moderate Tropical Storm strength. The RSMC classified it as a subtropical cyclone by January 12, although JTWC treated it as tropical for 2 days longer.


2009–10 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Systems, Tropical Disturbance 09
An area of disturbed weather, first observed over the Mozambique Channel around 8 January, moved across northern Madagascar and into the Indian Ocean where it displayed occasional bursts of convection. On 15 January the LLCC improved in organisation, and the RSMC designated it as a Tropical Disturbance 245 nmi (454 km) to the west-southwest of La Réunion. The next day, RSMC La Réunion issued their final advisory on the system as the center was ill-defined.


2009–10 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Systems, Subtropical Depression 10
On January 26, RSMC La Réunion announced that a Zone of Disturbed Weather had formed about 350 miles (560 km) NNE of Mauritius. Next day this was raised to a Tropical Disturbance, and JTWC designated is as Tropical Cyclone 11S based on 1-minute wind strength. By January 29 it displayed hybrid characteristics and was classified as a subtropical depression, although the maximum winds reached storm strength.

2009–10 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Systems, Intense Tropical Cyclone Gelane
On February 15, the RSMC announced the formation of Tropical Disturbance 12 approximately 650 nmi (1,200 km) NNE of La Réunion. Hours later it was classified as Moderate Tropical Storm Gelane. It reached Tropical Cyclone strength briefly on February 17, but quickly weakened to a Severe Tropical Storm. Then on February 18, it restrengthened back into a Tropical Cyclone, eventually becoming an Intense Tropical Cyclone. It remained a small system and weakened rapidly as wind shear effects increased.


2009–10 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Systems, Severe Tropical Storm Hubert
On March 9, a tropical disturbance formed between Madagascar and Réunion. On March 10 it strengthened to a tropical storm and was named Hubert by the meteorological service of Madagascar. It strengthened to a severe tropical storm as it approached the Madagascar coast, and made landfall north of Mananjary. At least ten people were killed by the storm and 32,000 others were affected throughout Madagascar. Later reports confirmed that four other people had been killed and two more were missing. Nearly 38,000 people were left homeless by flooding triggered by torrential rains from the storm.


2009–10 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Systems, Tropical Cyclone Imani
Tropical Disturbance 14 formed on 22 March in the far east of the SW Indian Ocean basin, close to 90ºE. Although the precursor disturbance had been drifting eastwards, TD 14 was predicted to remain in this basin and not move into the Australian. It became a tropical depression later the same day, and was upgraded to Moderate Tropical Storm Imani on 23 March and a Severe Tropical Storm the next day. It continued to strengthen as it moved southwards, and reached tropical cyclone strength on 25 March. It started to dissipate on March 26, and La Réunion had stopped releasing advisories on Imani at 1200z, March 26.


2009–10 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Systems, Tropical Depression 15 (Robyn)
The remnants of Cyclone Robyn crossed into this basin on 7 April as a Filling Depression, and a single advisory was issued by RSMC La Réunion.


2009–10 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Systems, Subtropical Depression Joël
An area of convection southwest of Madagascar was designated Subtropical Depression 16 by RSMC La Réunion on 26 May. The small system strengthened rapidly and was soon named Joël, although still classified as a Subtropical Depression. NASA also considered the storm to have been subtropical, attaining peak one-minute sustained winds of 85 km/h (55 mph).


2009–10 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Storm names
Tropical disturbances are named upon reaching moderate tropical storm strength. If a tropical disturbance reaches this intensity west of 55°E, then the Sub-Regional Tropical Cyclone Advisory Centre in Madagascar assigns the appropriate name to the storm. If it reaches moderate tropical storm strength between 55°E and 90°E, then the Sub-Regional Tropical Cyclone Advisory Centre in Mauritius names the storm. A new list of names is drawn up and used each year, so no names are retired. The names for this season are as follows:
