2015–16 South Pacific cyclone season
The 2015–16 South Pacific cyclone season was one of the most disastrous South Pacific tropical cyclone seasons on record, with a total of 50 deaths and $1.405 billion (2016 USD) in damage. Throughout the season, 8 systems attained tropical cyclone status, whilst 5 became severe tropical cyclones. The most notable cyclone of the season by far was Winston, which attained a minimum pressure of  884 hPa (mbar; 26.10 inHg), and maximum ten-minute sustained winds of 175 mph (280 km/h), making it the most intense tropical cyclone on record in the Southern Hemisphere. Winston went on to devastate Fiji, causing $1.4 billion (2016 USD) in damage and 44 deaths across the country.


2015–16 South Pacific cyclone season
The 2015–16 season marked the period of the year when most tropical cyclones form within the South Pacific Ocean to the east of 160°E. The season officially ran from November 1, 2015, to April 30, 2016, however a tropical cyclone could form at any time between July 1, 2015, and June 30, 2016, and would count towards the season total. During the season, tropical cyclones are officially monitored by the Fiji Meteorological Service and the Meteorological Service of New Zealand (MetService).


2015–16 South Pacific cyclone season
Other warning centres like the Australian Bureau of Meteorology and the United States Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC) will also monitor the basin. The FMS and MetService both use the Australian Tropical Cyclone Intensity Scale and estimate wind speeds over a period of ten minutes, while the JTWC estimated sustained winds over a 1-minute period, which are subsequently compared to the Saffir–Simpson hurricane wind scale (SSHWS).


2015–16 South Pacific cyclone season, Seasonal forecasts
After the occurrences of Tropical Cyclone Raquel and Tropical Depression 01F during July and August 2015, the Fiji Meteorological Service (FMS) noted that the ongoing 2014–16 El Niño event, might mean that more tropical cyclones occur in the basin than usual during the season. It was also noted that during previous El Niño episodes the season started early, with systems developing before the start of the season on November 1. As a result, the FMS expected the tropical cyclone season to start during October 2015.


2015–16 South Pacific cyclone season, Seasonal forecasts
During September 24, Météo-France announced that there was a 90% chance of either a moderate tropical storm, severe tropical storm or tropical cyclone, impacting the waters surrounding French Polynesia during the season. Ahead of the cyclone season, the FMS, the BoM, Météo-France, New Zealand's MetService and 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 2015.


2015–16 South Pacific cyclone season, Seasonal forecasts
The outlook took into account the strong El Niño conditions that had been observed across the Pacific and analogue seasons that had ENSO neutral and weak El Niño conditions occurring during the season. The outlook called for an above average number of tropical cyclones for the 2015–16 season, with eleven to thirteen named tropical cyclones to occur between 135°E and 120°W compared to an average of 10–12. At least six of the tropical cyclones were expected to become category 3 severe tropical cyclones, while four could become category 4 severe tropical cyclones.


2015–16 South Pacific cyclone season, Seasonal forecasts
It was also noted that Category 5 severe tropical cyclones, with 10-minute sustained windspeeds of 196 km/h (122 mph) were known to occur during El Niño events. In addition to contributing towards the Island Climate Update outlook the BoM and the FMS, issued their own seasonal forecasts for the South Pacific region. The BoM issued a seasonal forecast for both the Western and Eastern South Pacific.


2015–16 South Pacific cyclone season, Seasonal forecasts
The Western region between 142.5°E and 165°E was predicted to have a 15% chance of having an above average number of tropical cyclones, while the Eastern region between 165°E and 120°W was predicted to have a 48% chance of having an above average number of tropical cyclones. Within their outlook the FMS predicted that between ten and fourteen tropical cyclones, would occur within the basin compared to an average of around 7.3 cyclones.


2015–16 South Pacific cyclone season, Seasonal forecasts
Between four and eight of these tropical cyclones were expected to intensify into category 3 severe tropical cyclones, while 3-7 might intensify into Category 4 or 5 severe tropical cyclones. They also reported that the tropical cyclone genesis trough was expected to be displaced far eastwards of its long term average position. This was based on the expected and predicted ENSO conditions, and the existence of the Pacific warm pool of sub-surface temperature anomalies in this region.


2015–16 South Pacific cyclone season, Seasonal forecasts
Both the Island Climate Update and the FMS tropical cyclone outlooks assessed the risk of a tropical cyclone affecting a certain island or territory. As the tropical cyclone genesis trough of low pressure was expected to be located near to and to the east of the International Date Line, normal or slightly above normal activity was expected for areas near the dateline. With the exception of Kiribati, Papua New Guinea, New Caledonia, Niue, and Tonga, the Island Climate Update predicted that all areas would experience an elevated risk of being affected by multiple tropical cyclones.


2015–16 South Pacific cyclone season, Seasonal forecasts
The FMS's outlook predicted that the Solomon and Northern Cook Islands, Wallis and Futuna, Tokelau, Samoa, and French Polynesia had a highly elevated chance of being affected by a tropical cyclone. Vanuatu, Fiji, Niue, and the Southern Cook Islands had an elevated risk, while a normal risk was anticipated for New Caledonia, Tuvalu, and Tonga.


2015–16 South Pacific cyclone season, Seasonal summary
As the 2015–16 tropical cyclone year opened, Tropical Cyclone Raquel was active within the Australian region and affecting the Solomon Islands with heavy rain and high winds. The system subsequently moved into the basin as a weakening tropical depression during July 2, before it was last noted within the Australian region during July 5; it is considered a storm from the previous season, not of this season. Later that month RSMC Nadi started to monitor Tropical Disturbance 01F, which had developed to the north-northeast of Honiara in the Solomon Islands.


2015–16 South Pacific cyclone season, Seasonal summary
Over the next few days the system slowly organised further, before it was classified as Tropical Cyclone 01P by the Joint Typhoon Warning Center, on August 2. In mid-October, Tropical Depression 02F formed. Despite being in a favorable environment, the weak storm dissipated on October 18. In late November, two systems formed in succession: Tropical Depressions 03F and 04F. 03F later strengthened into Tropical Cyclone Tuni. Both dissipated on December 2.


2015–16 South Pacific cyclone season, Seasonal summary
Later that month, the basin became more active, with Tropical Depressions 05F, 06F, and 07F forming just days apart. 05F later strengthened into Tropical Cyclone Ula, while 07F caused fatalities in the Solomon Islands. Ula subsequently weakened, but later rapidly re-intensified into a Category 4 severe tropical cyclone, reaching its peak intensity. Meanwhile, 06F developed to the north of Wallis Island, but was absorbed by Ula. Victor ended the first slew of storms, dissipating on January 24. Following this, the basin was dormant for three weeks; however, a slew of storms began forming in February.


2015–16 South Pacific cyclone season, Seasonal summary
Winston led off the month, forming on February 7. Similar to Ula, the storm attained a preliminary peak, weakened, but later rapidly re-intensified into a Category 5 severe tropical cyclone, making landfall near Suva, Fiji, at peak strength. This made Winston the strongest tropical cyclone on record to impact Fiji. Winston then moved southwest, out of the basin, on February 26, dissipating on March 1. Cyclone Tatiana briefly moved into the basin on February 12, but dissipated the next day, as it exited the basin.


2015–16 South Pacific cyclone season, Seasonal summary
Yalo and a tropical depression followed to this: Yalo dissipated on February 26, while 12F dissipated on March 1. The basin became dormant again as the season wound down. Despite this, Tropical Depression 13F formed on March 19, and dissipated three days later. The basin once again became dormant again, as the end of March neared, until another tropical depression formed in early April. One of the three depressions became Cyclone Zena, which caused more problems to the nearly decimated Fiji. Amos formed in late April and moved over Samoa and American Samoa.


2015–16 South Pacific cyclone season, Seasonal summary
During the season, most of the island nations in the basin were impacted by systems impacting land. In particular, Raquel, Tropical Depressions 01F, 02F and 07F affected the Solomon Islands. The Samoan Islands were impacted by Tuni, Ula, Victor and Amos. Ula, Winston and Zena impacted Fiji. Individually, Ula affected Tuvalu and New Caledonia, while Winston also affected Tonga, and Vanuatu, and after leaving the basin, Niue, and eventually Queensland. Yalo affected French Polynesia in late February.


2015–16 South Pacific cyclone season, Systems, Tropical Depression 01F
The first tropical depression of the season was first noted as a tropical disturbance during July 29, while it was located about 920 km (570 mi) to the north-northeast of Honiara in the Solomon Islands. The system lay to the north of an upper level subtropical ridge of high pressure in an area of moderate vertical wind shear. Over the next couple of days the system slowly organised further as it steered south-eastwards into an area of decreasing vertical wind shear. As a result of further organization it was classified as a tropical depression during August 1. Late on August 4, the FMS issued its final advisory on the system as it reported that the system was not expected to develop.


2015–16 South Pacific cyclone season, Systems, Tropical Depression 02F
During October 12, Tropical Disturbance 02F developed along the South Pacific convergence zone, while it was located about 450 km (280 mi) to the northwest of Rotuma. The system was located within a favourable environment for further development, with low to moderate vertical wind shear, and it lay under an upper-level ridge of high pressure. Despite all of this, the system dissipated on October 18.


2015–16 South Pacific cyclone season, Systems, Tropical Cyclone Tuni
On November 23, Tropical Disturbance 03F developed within a trough of low pressure, about 500 km (310 mi) to the northeast of Suva, Fiji. The system lay in an area of low to moderate vertical wind shear, to the south of an upper-level ridge of high pressure.


2015–16 South Pacific cyclone season, Systems, Tropical Cyclone Tuni
Across American Samoa, Tuni produced strong winds and heavy rains. Sustained winds of 90 km/h (56 mph) were observed in Tututila at an elevated location. Some trees were uprooted. Plantations, shacks, and garages sustained damage with total losses amounting to US$5 million. There was no significant damage recorded in Niue, as the system brushed the island nation.


2015–16 South Pacific cyclone season, Systems, Severe Tropical Cyclone Ula
In late December 2015, a long-lived and powerful westerly wind burst triggered the formation of a tropical disturbance in the south Pacific, along with its twin in the central North Pacific, which became Tropical Depression Nine-C. During December 26, Tropical Disturbance 05F developed within a monsoon trough, about 465 km (290 mi) to the south-east of the Honiara in the Solomon Islands. The system lay under an upper level ridge of high pressure in an area of moderate to high vertical wind shear. Over the next few days the system moved eastwards and gradually developed further, becoming a tropical depression during December 29, while it was located to the north of the Samoan Islands.


2015–16 South Pacific cyclone season, Systems, Tropical Depression 07F
Three people died in seagoing accidents related to Tropical Depression 07F, while four others went missing.


2015–16 South Pacific cyclone season, Systems, Severe Tropical Cyclone Victor
On January 10, the FMS reported that Tropical Disturbance 08F had developed about 100 km (60 mi) to the northwest of Penrhyn in the Northern Cook Islands. A few days later, the system was classified as an invest, until JTWC classified it with a low-chance of developing to a tropical cyclone on January 13. Later in that same day, 08F was upgraded to a tropical depression. On January 14, the JTWC issued a TCFA alert as 08F was located in moderate wind shear and warm sea-surface temperatures, which were conductive for tropical development.


2015–16 South Pacific cyclone season, Systems, Severe Tropical Cyclone Victor
Hours later, the JTWC upgraded 08F to a tropical cyclone as it was designated as 07P and started issuing advisories, located 368 mi (592 km) east of Pago Pago, American Samoa. On January 15, 08F was upgraded to a Category 1 tropical cyclone and was therefore named Victor. On January 18, Victor intensified into a Category 3 severe tropical cyclone, while the JTWC upgraded it to a Category 2 cyclone.


2015–16 South Pacific cyclone season, Systems, Severe Tropical Cyclone Winston
Tropical Disturbance 09F developed on February 7, 2016, to the northwest of Port Vila, Vanuatu. Over the next few days, the system gradually developed as it moved southeastward, acquiring gale-force winds by February 11. The following day it underwent rapid intensification and attained ten-minute maximum sustained winds of 175 km/h (110 mph). Less favourable environmental conditions prompted weakening thereafter. After turning northeast on February 14, Winston stalled to the north of Tonga on February 17.


2015–16 South Pacific cyclone season, Systems, Severe Tropical Cyclone Winston
Regaining strength, the storm doubled back to the west, achieving Category 5 status on both the Australian tropical cyclone scale and the Saffir–Simpson hurricane wind scale on February 19. It reached its record intensity the next day with ten-minute sustained winds of 280 km/h (175 mph) and a pressure of 884 hPa (mbar; 26.10 inHg), shortly before making landfall on Viti Levu, Fiji. This made it the strongest storm to ever strike the nation, as well as the strongest tropical cyclone of the Southern Hemisphere in history.


2015–16 South Pacific cyclone season, Systems, Severe Tropical Cyclone Winston
On February 26, Winston exited the South Pacific basin and entered the Australian region basin.


2015–16 South Pacific cyclone season, Systems, Severe Tropical Cyclone Winston
In advance of the storm's arrival in Fiji, numerous shelters were opened, and a nationwide curfew was instituted during the evening of February 20. Striking Fiji at Category 5 intensity on February 20, Winston inflicted extensive damage on many islands and killed at least 44 people. Communications were temporarily lost with at least six islands. Total damage from Winston amounted to $FJ 2.98 billion ($1.4 billion 2016 USD), making it the costliest cyclone on record in the basin.


2015–16 South Pacific cyclone season, Systems, Tropical Cyclone Yalo
During February 23, Tropical Disturbance 11F developed underneath an upper-level ridge of high pressure, about 850 km (530 mi) to the northwest of Tahiti, French Polynesia. By the next day, the JTWC issued a Tropical Cyclone Formation Alert as it was located over in favorable conditions of developing further. The JTWC later upgraded 11F to a tropical storm, giving the system the identifier of 14P, early on February 25.

Tropical Disturbance 17F was first noted on April 13, while it was located about 130 km (80 mi) to the northwest of the Fijian dependency of Rotuma. The system subsequently moved south-eastwards towards the Fijian Islands, before it passed near or over Vanua Levu during April 16. After passing over Fiji, the system gradually developed further as it moved north-eastwards towards the Samoan Islands. The system was subsequently named Amos during April 20, after it had developed into a tropical cyclone and started to move north-westwards towards the island nation of Tuvalu.

As the 2015–16 tropical cyclone year opened on July 1, Tropical Cyclone Raquel was located in the Australian region to the north-west of Honiara. Over the next 24 hours, the system recurved eastwards and weakened into a tropical depression, as it entered the basin on July 2. The system subsequently moved westwards and out of the basin during July 4, as it impacted the Solomon Islands, with high wind gusts and heavy rain. Tropical Disturbance 04F was first noted on December 1, while it was located about 640 km (400 mi) to the northeast of Papeete in French Polynesia. Over the next day the poorly organised system moved westwards, underneath an upper-level ridge of high pressure before it dissipated during December 2. During December 27, Tropical Disturbance 06F developed to the north of Wallis Island, in an area of moderate to high vertical wind shear.


2015–16 South Pacific cyclone season, Systems, Other systems
Tropical Cyclone Tatiana moved into the South Pacific basin from the Australian region during February 12, as it peaked as a Category 2 tropical cyclone with 10-minute sustained winds of 95 km/h (60 mph). The system subsequently moved southwards and rapidly weakened during the next day, before it lost its tropical characteristics and degenerated into a subtropical low during February 14. After the system had degenerated into a subtropical low, it produced some powerful, long period swells along southeast Queensland beaches.


2015–16 South Pacific cyclone season, Systems, Other systems
During February 29, Tropical Disturbance 12F developed about 330 km (205 mi), to the northwest of Papeete on the island of Tahiti in French Polynesia. However, during that day as the system moved southwards in an area of low vertical wind shear, atmospheric convection decreased in magnitude before it was last noted during March 1. Tropical Disturbance 13F was first noted on March 19, about 500 km (310 mi) to the northwest of Nouméa in New Caledonia. Over the next couple of days the system moved east-southeast, before it was last noted during March 21, to the southeast of New Caledonia.

On April 2, Tropical Disturbance 14F formed from an active monsoon trough over Vanuatu. The system moved in a slow eastward motion over in an area of favorable environments, thus, RSMC Nadi forecast the system to reach tropical cyclone intensity. During April 5, 14F began to weaken with a lack of further organisation and therefore, RSMC Nadi issued its final bulletin later that day. In the same time when 14F was formed, RSMC Nadi had reported of the formation of Tropical Disturbance 15F just to the east of Fiji.


2015–16 South Pacific cyclone season, Systems, Other systems
Again, 15F was located over in favorable environments with deep convection and a developing LLCC. During April 4, the JTWC issued a TCFA on the system, however it was also mentioned that organization started to weaken. 15F passed Fiji and rapidly diminished on April 6. During April 20, Tropical Disturbance 18F developed within an area of low to moderate vertical wind-shear, to the south of an upper-level ridge of high pressure to the north of the Southern Cook Islands.

2015–16 South West Peninsula League
The 2015–16 South West Peninsula League season was the ninth in the history of the South West Peninsula League, a football competition in England, that feeds the Premier Division of the Western Football League. The league had been formed in 2007 from the merger of the Devon County League and the South Western League, and is restricted to clubs based in Cornwall and Devon. The Premier Division of the South West Peninsula League is on the same level of the National League System as the Western League Division One.


2015–16 South West Peninsula League
The constitution was announced on 15 May 2015. With regard to relegation from Division One East and Division One West, if only one club were eligible for promotion from these two divisions, then no club would be relegated, but if two clubs were eligible, then one club would be relegated and a playoff match would determine the relegated club.

2015–16 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season
The 2015–16 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season was a slightly below average event in tropical cyclone formation. The annual cyclone season began on November 15, 2015, with the first storm, Annabelle, forming four days following. The final and strongest storm, Fantala, dissipated on April 23, 2016, a week before the season ended on April 30 for most of the region. In Mauritius and the Seychelles, the cyclone season ended half a month later, on May 15. The season's activity was influenced by an ongoing El Niño, and a positive Indian Ocean Dipole.


2015–16 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season
The South-West Indian Ocean basin consists of the portion of the Indian Ocean west of 90°E and south of the Equator. Tropical cyclone activity was monitored by Météo-France office in Réunion, the Regional Specialized Meteorological Centre for the basin. The basin is also unofficially monitored by the Joint Typhoon Warning Center, which uses one-minute sustained winds to estimate wind speeds within systems, while Météo-France uses ten-minute sustained winds and its own intensity scale.


2015–16 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season
Eight moderate tropical storms in total developed or existed within the bounds of the basin, slightly below the average of ten. Most systems during the season remained weak, with only three storms (Uriah, Emeraude, and Fantala) reaching at least tropical cyclone strength with winds of 120 km/h (75 mph), compared to the average of five. However, the season featured Cyclone Fantala, which became the strongest tropical cyclone on record in the basin in terms of 10-minute sustained winds at 250 km/h (155 mph) and in terms of 1-minute sustained winds at 285 km/h (175 mph).


2015–16 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Seasonal forecasts
On October 19, the Mauritius Meteorological Services (MMS) released their summer 2015–16 outlook. An average season, with around seven to nine cyclones forming, was expected. MMS also indicated that the equatorial region to the north of Mauritius, east of Agaléga and west of Diego Garcia, could be significantly conducive for cyclone formation.


2015–16 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Seasonal forecasts
Météo-France issued their seasonal forecast of cyclone activity for the basin on November 12. MFR predicted a slightly below average to average season, citing the effects of a very strong El Niño event. Compared to an average of ten moderate tropical storms that usually form in the South-West Indian Ocean, a 70% chance was given to the probability of six to ten named storms forming. A 20% chance was given to the formation of only five cyclones or less, and a 10% was given to an above average level of activity.


2015–16 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Seasonal forecasts
MRF expected that an above average number of named storms would develop in the central region of the basin (from 60°E to 77°E), and that there would be lower than average activity to the east of 77°E. Activity near normal was expected west of 60°E. MFR also predicted that the motion of cyclones during the season would have a stronger meridional component than normal, having a tendency to track south quickly.


2015–16 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Seasonal summary
The season started on November 19, with the formation of Annabelle. After a month of inactivity, Bohale formed, but was fairly weak and only reached moderate tropical cyclone strength. Another month passed before Corentin formed on January 20. In February, the basin became somewhat active with Daya forming, and Uriah entering the basin days later. Emeraude formed in March, quickly peaking at intense tropical cyclone strength, before quickly weakening. Moderate Tropical Storm 07 formed at the end of March. In April, the season began to wind down. Very Intense Tropical Cyclone Fantala formed near the end of the month, and reached peak intensity as the strongest tropical cyclone recorded in the basin in terms of sustained winds. Fantala dissipated on April 24, ending the season.


2015–16 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Systems, Severe Tropical Storm Annabelle
Météo-France first noted a zone of disturbed weather about 930 km (580 mi) east-northeast of Diego Garcia on November 18. It was designated as a tropical disturbance the next day, and upgraded to a tropical depression shortly thereafter. On November 20, the system's organization continued to improve with tight convective banding and it was upgraded to moderate tropical storm status about 270 km (170 mi) south of Diego Garcia. The system was not named Annabelle operationally until early the next day. Annabelle intensified slowly for several days as it drifted south-southeast.


2015–16 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Systems, Severe Tropical Storm Annabelle
The system accelerated to the southeast and developed an eye feature. Annabelle became a severe tropical storm early on November 23, benefiting from strong upper level divergence aloft. Six hours later, Annabelle reached its peak intensity of 100 km/h (60 mph). By November 24, Annabelle's convection became disorganized as a result of increased wind shear induced by an upper level trough and cooler ocean temperatures and it was declared post-tropical. The remnants of Annabelle weakened in the following days until it dissipated during November 27.


2015–16 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Systems, Moderate Tropical Storm Bohale
On December 3, a disorganized area of convection developed over the equatorial regions of the central Indian Ocean. The system tracked generally southwest until it intensified into Tropical Depression 02 on December 10. The tropical depression gradually turned to the south-southwest and exhibited weak convection, leaving the system exposed as it struggled to intensify within a dry air mass. It received the name Bohale from the Mauritius Meteorological Services early on December 11 when it was operationally determined to have become a moderate tropical storm.


2015–16 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Systems, Moderate Tropical Storm Bohale
In post-season re-analysis, Météo-France determined that Bohale became a tropical storm a day later, on December 12. Bohale maintained its peak intensity of 65 km/h (40 mph) as a moderate tropical storm for 18 hours, before transitioning into a post-tropical depression at 18 UTC while retaining its gale-force winds. The post-tropical remnants of Bohale tracked south slowly until they dissipated on December 16.


2015–16 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Systems, Severe Tropical Storm Corentin
Météo-France identified a tropical disturbance moving generally westward over the eastern Indian Ocean on January 20. At midday the next day, the disturbance intensified into a moderate tropical storm which received the name Corentin. Corentin continued to steadily intensify under an upper-level ridge as its motion began to turn towards the south. The system was upgraded to severe tropical storm status on January 22 as it tracked nearly due south. Corentin peaked later that day with 10-minute maximum sustained wind speeds of 110 km/h (70 mph) and a large, 110 km (70 mi) ragged eye.


2015–16 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Systems, Severe Tropical Storm Corentin
The system began to weaken on January 23 as its satellite representation deteriorated and its eye began to widen. The storm continued to weaken as the upper-level wind pattern became unfavorable. With its center exposed and moving over cooler waters, Corentin transitioned into a post-tropical depression on January 25. The post-tropical remnants of Corentin meandered in the southern Indian Ocean until its remnant low dissipated on January 31.


2015–16 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Systems, Moderate Tropical Storm Daya
A low-pressure area developed within a monsoon trough over the Mozambique Channel on February 1. It tracked southeastward, crossing Madagascar and becoming a tropical disturbance 380 km (235 mi) north of Saint-Denis, Réunion on February 8. The disturbance began to travel generally southwestward, intensifying slowly. The next day, the system turned southeast under the influence of a ridge to its east and a cut-off low to the southwest. On February 10, the system was classified as Moderate Tropical Storm Daya, while located about 470 km (290 mi) southwest of Saint-Denis.


2015–16 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Systems, Moderate Tropical Storm Daya
Daya accelerated to the southeast under the influence of the ridge and favorable poleward divergence allowed the system to peak with maximum sustained winds of 75 km/h (45 mph) early the next day. Daya quickly met strong wind shear, which led to its transition into a post-tropical depression on February 12. Météo-France ceased monitoring post-tropical Daya the following day.


2015–16 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Systems, Moderate Tropical Storm Daya
Between February 9 and 10, heavy rain from Daya affected parts of Madagascar, Réunion, and Mauritius. During a 24-hour period, 111 mm (4.4 in) of rain fell in Vacoas-Phoenix, Mauritius, and 100 mm (3.9 in) fell in Saint-Denis, Réunion. Flash flooding damaged homes and displaced hundreds of people in Mauritius.


2015–16 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Systems, Intense Tropical Cyclone Uriah
Uriah entered the South-West Indian Ocean basin as a moderate tropical storm from the Australian region on February 14, where it was previously monitored by the Bureau of Meteorology's office in Perth. The storm tracked generally southwest, maintaining intensity. Early on February 16, Uriah began to intensify steadily, turning to the west as a subtropical ridge built in to the south of the system. Uriah also began to develop an eye, which became evident later that day. On February 17, Uriah attained hurricane-force (74 mph or 118 km/h) winds, becoming the first tropical cyclone of the season.


2015–16 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Systems, Intense Tropical Cyclone Uriah
Continuing to rapidly intensify, Uriah became an intense tropical cyclone twelve hours later. As the ridge previously located to the south of Uriah rebuilt to its east, the intense tropical cyclone began to turn to the south. As northwesterly wind shear began to affect the system, its appearance began to deteriorate and its convection lessened. Uriah rapidly weakened to a severe tropical storm by February 19, and it transitioned to a post-tropical depression shortly thereafter. Uriah's remnants meandered, nearly stationary in the southern Indian Ocean, until it became an extratropical depression and raced to the southeast.


2015–16 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Systems, Intense Tropical Cyclone Emeraude
Moderate Tropical Storm Emeraude developed near the eastern periphery of the basin on March 15. With favorable environmental conditions and a good poleward outflow channel, the storm rapidly intensified into a tropical cyclone the next day. The small cyclone tracked slowly toward the west-northwest, continuing to strengthen rapidly. It became an intense tropical cyclone early on March 17, reaching peak sustained wind speeds of 205 km/h (125 mph). Under the influence of a strengthening near equatorial ridge located to its northeast, Emeraude's motion began to slow and turn to the east.


2015–16 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Systems, Intense Tropical Cyclone Emeraude
The cyclone was quickly affected by increasing wind shear and decreased oceanic heat content induced by its slow movement, resulting in significant weakening. Unable to reach favorable conditions, Emeraude weakened below tropical cyclone intensity by 0600 UTC on March 18, 24 hours after reaching peak intensity. The system briefly weakened into a moderate tropical storm before restrengthening early the next day once it reached warmer waters. Emeraude turned to the south and approached tropical cyclone strength on March 19, but remained a severe tropical storm.


2015–16 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Systems, Intense Tropical Cyclone Emeraude
Conditions became unfavorable yet again and wind shear increased, pushing convection away from the system's center, allowing for weakening to occur once again. Emeraude ceased to produce gale-force winds and became a tropical depression on March 21. Its remnant low dissipated on March 23 just south of the waters where it had reached peak intensity five days prior.


2015–16 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Systems, Moderate Tropical Storm 07
A tropical disturbance formed in the central Indian Ocean, 770 km (480 mi) south-southeast of Diego Garcia on March 28. The disturbance intensified into a tropical depression and was pushed quickly to the southeast ahead of a trough, away from the British Indian Ocean Territory. Having been previously analyzed as a tropical depression throughout its lifetime, Météo-France noted that 07 intensified into a moderate tropical storm the same day. Moderate Tropical Storm 07 briefly attained peak maximum sustained winds of 85 km/h (55 mph) the next day before strong wind shear pummelled the system, resulting in swift weakening and a prompt transition into a post-tropical depression on March 30.


2015–16 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Systems, Very Intense Tropical Cyclone Fantala
Fantala formed on April 11 to the south of Diego Garcia. With a ridge to the south, the storm moved westward for several days while gaining strength, aided by warm waters and decreasing wind shear. Late on April 17, the MFR estimated peak 10-minute sustained winds of 250 km/h (155 mph), the highest on record in the basin. Meanwhile, the JTWC estimated peak 1-minute sustained winds of 285 km/h (175 mph), surpassing Cyclone Agnielle from November 1995 as the strongest cyclone on record in the south-west Indian Ocean in terms of wind speed.


2015–16 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Systems, Very Intense Tropical Cyclone Fantala
The system weakened due to an eyewall replacement cycle, and a change of steering currents caused Fantala to reverse direction and accelerate southeast. This brought the cyclone over cooler waters previously upwelled by itself, causing further weakening. Between April 19 and 23, Fantala fluctuated in intensity. At first, the eye became more pronounced, but wind shear soon caused weakening to resume. By April 22, Fantala stalled again due to a building ridge to its south. Fantala accelerated back northwest as a moderate tropical cyclone, with the JTWC and MFR issuing their final advisories on April 24. The remnants of Fantala continued northwest toward the East African coast.


2015–16 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Systems, Very Intense Tropical Cyclone Fantala
Evacuations were initiated on Agaléga ahead of Cyclone Fantala. While near peak intensity, the cyclone also passed near the Farquhar Group of the Seychelles, damaging most of the buildings in the small archipelago. The islands were declared a disaster area by Seychelles officials. After dissipation, Fantala's remnant moisture affected Tanzania and Kenya, where heavy rains and flooding killed 13 people and left 13,933 homeless. Eight people were killed in the Kilimanjaro Region where flooding entered buildings and trapped hundreds of residents. In the Morogoro Region, five people drowned in flooded rivers.


2015–16 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Storm names
Within the South-West Indian Ocean, tropical depressions and subtropical depressions that are judged to have 10-minute sustained wind of at least 65 km/h (40 mph) by the Regional Specialized Meteorological Center on La Réunion Island, France (RSMC La Réunion) are usually assigned a name. However, it is the Sub-Regional Tropical Cyclone Advisory Centers in Mauritius and Madagascar who name the systems.


2015–16 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Storm names
The Sub-Regional Tropical Cyclone Advisory Center in Mauritius names a storm should it intensify into a moderate tropical storm between 55°E and 90°E. If a storm should intensify into a moderate tropical storm between 30°E and 55°E then the Sub-Regional Tropical Cyclone Advisory Center in Madagascar assigns the appropriate name to the storm. New name lists are used every year, and a name is normally only used once, so there are currently no retired names, however should a name go unused during a season, the name could be re-used in future seasons.
