BULLETIN FOR CYCLONIC ACTIVITY AND SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL WEATHER
IN THE SOUTHWEST INDIAN OCEAN

DATE: 2026/03/11 A 1200 UTC

PART 1: WARNING SUMMARY

NIL.

PART 2 : TROPICAL WEATHER DISCUSSION:

The basin is in a monsoon trough (MT) configuration east of 50E. Convective activity is moderate on both sides of the MT and in the Mozambique Channel.

The dry phase of the MJO is expected to gradually move away towards the east of the basin and the maritime continent by mid-March, enabling the return of more conducive conditions for convective activity over the western part of the basin. In the next few days the passage of a low-amplitude Kelvin wave could contribute to the strengthening the monsoon flow. In addition, a Rossby wave is expected to gradually enhance the monsoon flow and vorticity within the MT over the center and west of the basin between the end of the week and the beginning of next week.

Near Agalega :
The strengthening of the monsoon flow and the arrival of a new subtropical ridge south of Madagascar should gradually enhance convergence on both sides of the MT over the western part of the basin, especially near Farquhar or Agalega. Moreover, this area could benefit from good upper divergence on the northwestern edge of an upper trough located over the east of the Mascarenes. These favorable conditions should enable the formation of a low-pressure area from Thursday 12th near Agalega. The deterministic GFS model suggests a tropical storm development from Friday 13th or over the weekend. On the other hand, the deterministic IFS model injects a little more dry air into the western edge of the system due to a larger trough, meaning that the system fails to reach tropical storm status. A significant number of ensemble and AI models also forecast significant cyclogenesis potential by Saturday.

The risk of tropical storm development near Agalega is low from Friday 13th then becomes moderate from Saturday, March 14th.

Off the south/south-west of the Chagos archipelago :
Due to a lack of convergence in the lower layers, cyclogenesis is no longer considered for this suspect area.

For the next 5 days, there is no potential for this suspect area to develop into a moderate tropical storm.

In the Mozambique Channel :
A weak northerly monsoon flow is expected to settle along the African coast from Wednesday 11th, becoming moderate on Thursday 12th, feeding a weak low-pressure area currently located near the northeast coast of Mozambique (near the province of Nampula). At the same time, a surge of trade winds is underway over the southern Mozambique Channel. According to most models, the convergence between these flows does not seem optimal at the moment, occurring a little too close to the coast of Mozambique or even slightly inland, which reduces the potential for cyclogenesis. Nevertheless, some models suggest that the convergence will remain a little further out to sea. In this case, with a favorable large-scale context (low shear, good upper divergence, warm surface waters), cyclogenesis is possible, as suggested in particular by several successive runs of the GEFS ensemble. Chances of cyclogenesis will therefore depend mainly on how efficient the low-level convergence is and on the proximity of the low-pressure area to land.

The risk of tropical storm formation in the Mozambique Channel, near the coast of Mozambique, is expected to become very low from Friday 13th, then low on Saturday 14th.

Over the far east of the basin :
Due to a lack of convergence in the lower layers and an increase in deep shear, cyclogenesis is no longer considered for this suspect area.

For the next 5 days, there is no potential for this suspect area to develop into a moderate tropical storm.



10-day outlook:
During the following week (March 16th to 22nd), the risk of cyclogenesis regarding the suspect area in the Mozambique Channel could increase.

NOTA BENE: The likelihood is an estimate of the chance of genesis of a moderate tropical storm over the basin within the next five days:

Very low: less than 10%      Moderate: 30% to 60%      Very high: over 90%
Low: 10% to 30%              High: 60% to 90%

The Southwestern Indian ocean basin extends from the Equator to 40S and from the african coastlines to 90E.

BULLETIN FOR CYCLONIC ACTIVITY AND SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL WEATHER
IN THE SOUTHWEST INDIAN OCEAN

DATE: 2026/03/12 A 1200 UTC

PART 1: WARNING SUMMARY

NIL.

PART 2 : TROPICAL WEATHER DISCUSSION:

The basin is in a monsoon trough (MT) configuration east of 50E. Convective activity is moderate on both sides of the MT and in the Mozambique Channel along a convergence zone wrapping around a low-pressure system located off the Mozambican coast.

The dry phase of the MJO is located over the eastern basin and will continue toward the maritime continent through the end of the week, allowing for the return of conditions more favorable to convective activity over the western basin. Currently, the intersection of a weak Kelvin wave with a Rossby wave boosted by an MRG is slightly strengthening the monsoon flow and vorticity in the western part of the MT. However, the Kelvin wave is too weak to improve vorticity within the MT further east. Over the disturbed area to the west of the MT, equatorial convergence will remain good over the next five days thanks to the slow movement of the equatorial Rossby wave and the westward thrust of the MJO.

Between Agalega and Farquhar :
The strengthening of the monsoon flow and the arrival of a new subtropical ridge south of Madagascar should gradually reinforce convergence on either side of the TM over the western part of the basin, particularly near the Farquhars and Agalega. In addition, altitude divergence should be good over the area, on the northwestern edge of a trough centered over the eastern Mascarenes. These conditions are conducive to the formation of an elongated and ill-defined low-pressure system. The surrounding convection has no sustained effect and no convincing curvature.
The window of intensification will continue until the end of the week, with symmetrization likely to occur between tomorrow and Saturday. It should be noted that shear conditions could deteriorate from Sunday onwards, making cyclogenesis difficult south of 13oS or, alternatively, during the passage of the Mascarene Islands at the beginning of next week.
The latest runs of the American GFS and European IFS models suggest sluggish cyclogenesis with a lack of convergence on the polar side, preventing the system from symmetrizing. This pattern is consistent across their respective ensembles. The AI ensembles are in line with this. Only the fine scale AROME model and its ensemble suggest clear and rapid cyclogenesis, but this does not appear to be the most relevant to the analysis.

The risk of tropical storm development near Agalega is low from Friday 13th then becomes moderate from Saturday, March 14th.

In the Mozambique Channel :
The tropical low-pressure system over the northern Mozambican coast is struggling to deepen and is moving further inland, making it difficult for it to move out to sea in the next five days. At this stage, only a few outliers of the American ensemble forecast cyclogenesis early next week.

For the next 5 days, there is no longe  potential for this suspect area to develop into a moderate tropical storm.



10-day outlook:


NOTA BENE: The likelihood is an estimate of the chance of genesis of a moderate tropical storm over the basin within the next five days:

Very low: less than 10%      Moderate: 30% to 60%      Very high: over 90%
Low: 10% to 30%              High: 60% to 90%

The Southwestern Indian ocean basin extends from the Equator to 40S and from the african coastlines to 90E.

IN THE LAST 24 HOURS, CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY HAS BEGUN TO ORGANIZE AROUND
A LARGE LOW-LEVEL CIRCULATION PRESENT SOUTH OF THE MAIN CONVECTION.
SCATTEROMETRIC DATA DOES NOT SUGGEST THE PRESENCE OF SIGNIFICANT NEAR
GALE FORCE WINDS LAST NIGHT. SINCE 00Z, THERE HAS BEEN A NOTABLE
IMPROVEMENT IN THE CLOUD PATTERN, WITH MARKED SIGNS OF CURVATURE.
HOWEVER, THE LATE-NIGHT MICROWAVE PASSES (0004Z F18 AND 0235Z F17),
ALTHOUGH SHOWING AN IMPROVEMENT, DID NOT ALLOW WITH CERTAINTY TO
LOCATE THE CENTER IN THE AREA OF VORTICITY VISIBLE ON THE SATELLITE
IMAGE. IN THE ABSENCE OF MORE RELIABLE DATA, SYSTEM 12 IS CURRENTLY
ANALYSED AS A ZONE OF DISTURBED WEATHER WITH MAXIMUM WINDS NEAR
30KT.

OVER THE NEXT 24 HOURS, SYSTEM 12 IS EXPECTED TO MOVE SOUTHEASTWARD
UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF THE NORTHWESTERLY MONSOON FLOW. FROM SUNDAY
ONWARDS, IT SHOULD GRADUALLY MOVE SOUTHWARD ALONG THE WESTERN
EDGE OF A RIDGE. AT LONGER RANGE, THE TRACK WILL DEPEND ON THE
INTENSITY OF THE SYSTEM. ACCORDING TO THE MOST LIKELY SCENARIO, IT
COULD WEAKEN SIGNIFICANTLY AND EVOLVE INTO A SURFACE TROUGH ON THE
NORTHWESTERN SIDE OF THE SUBTROPICAL SURFACE RIDGE. IF IT REMAINS MORE
INTENSE, IT COULD BE CARRIED TOWARDS THE MIDDLE LATITUDES IN LINE WITH A
HIGHER STEERING FLOW. THE FORECAST THEREFORE REMAINS QUITE UNCERTAIN

2.B LONGER-RANGE OUTLOOK:

LOW

2.C ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
T=CI=2.0

OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS, CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY HAS INCREASED FURTHER.
THE GCOM MICROWAVE SATELLITE IMAGE FROM 2109Z AND MICROPHYSICAL
TREATMENT OF CONVENTIONAL IMAGERY HAVE ALLOWED US TO APPROXIMATELY
LOCATE THE CENTER AND DETECT SIGNS OF CURVATURE IN THE LOW-LEVEL
CLOUDS. MAX WIND SPEEDS REMAIN AT 30 KT IN THE NORTHERN SEMICIRCLE.
THE SYSTEM IS THEREFORE CLASSIFIED AS A TROPICAL DEPRESSION.

OVER THE NEXT 24 HOURS, SYSTEM 12 IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE MOVING
SOUTHEAST, DRIVEN BY THE NORTHWEST MONSOON FLOW. STARTING SUNDAY, IT
IS EXPECTED TO GRADUALLY TURN SOUTHWARD ALONG THE WESTERN FLANK OF A
RIDGE. IN THE LONGER TERM, THE TRACK WILL DEPEND ON THE SYSTEMA  S
INTENSITY. IT COULD WEAKEN AND DEVELOP INTO A SURFACE TROUGH ON THE
NORTHWEST SIDE OF THE SUBTROPICAL SURFACE RIDGE. IF HIGHER INTENSITY
PERSISTS, IT COULD BE CARRIED TOWARD MID-LATITUDES IN CONJUNCTION
WITH THE HIGHER-SPEED STEERING FLOW, ALONG THE NORTHEAST FLANK OF A
TROUGH. THE FORECAST REMAINS VERY UNCERTAIN BEYOND 48 HOURS.

IN TERMS OF INTENSITY, THE SYSTEM IS BENEFITING FROM RATHER FAVORABLE
CONDITIONS IN THE SHORT TERM, WITH RELATIVELY LOW SHEAR AND VERY GOOD
CONVERGENCE ON THE EQUATORIAL SIDE. THE WEAK CONVERGENCE ON THE POLAR
SIDE REMAINS THE LIMITING FACTOR AT FIRST FOR THIS POSSIBLE
CYCLOGENESIS. FROM SUNDAY ONWARDS, THE NORTHWESTERLY DEEP SHEAR
SHOULD STRONGLY INCREASE, LEADING TO A PROBABLE WEAKENING OF THE
SYSTEM.

POSSIBLE TC HAZARDS :
- AGALEGA
HEAVY SHOWERS POSSIBLE IN THE NEXT 24H. IMPROVEMENT ON SATURDAY
EVENENING
- SEYCHELLES (ALPHONSE AND COETIVY)
HEAVY SHOWERS POSSIBLE TODAY, WITH CONDITIONS IMPROVING ON SATURDAY.
- SAINT BRANDON
HEAVY SHOWERS AND ROUGH TO VERY ROUGH SEAS 4M POSSIBLE FROM SUNDAY

2.B LONGER-RANGE OUTLOOK:
NIL

2.C ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
T=CI=2.0

OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS, CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY HAS REMAINED STRONG TO
THE NORTH AND EAST OF THE SYSTEM. THE 0225Z F17 MICROWAVE IMAGE
ALLOWS US TO LOCATE THE CENTER. THE 0446Z ASCAT SWATH OCCURRED ALONG
THE WESTERN EDGE OF THE SYSTEM AND SHOWS MAXIMUM WINDS OF 25 KT WITH
A SURFACE CIRCULATION THAT REMAINS ELONGATED. HOWEVER, MOST MODELS
ARE IN GOOD AGREEMENT IN PREDICTING MAXIMUM WINDS NEAR 30 KT IN THE
EASTERN SEMICIRCLE OF THE SYSTEM NOT COVERED BY THE ASCAT SWATH.
THEREFORE, IN THE ABSENCE OF DETERIORATION IN THE SATELLITE
SIGNATURE, THE SYSTEM IS ANALYSED AS AN AREA OF DISTURBED WEATHER
WITH MAXIMUM WINDS OF 30 KT.

OVER THE NEXT 24 HOURS, SYSTEM 12 IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE MOVING
SOUTHEAST, UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF THE NORTHWEST MONSOON FLOW. THE
TRACK IS EXPECTED TO SHIFT SOUTHWARD ON SUNDAY AND THEN SOUTHWESTWARD
ON MONDAY STEERED BY A SUBTROPICAL RIDGE TO THE EAST OF THE SYSTEM.

IN TERMS OF INTENSITY, THE LACK OF CONVERGENCE ON THE POLAR SIDE IS
THE MAIN FACTOR LIMITING THE SYSTEMA  S INTENSIFICATION IN THE SHORT
TERM. FROM SUNDAY ONWARD, THE DEEP NORTHWESTERLY WIND SHEAR IS
EXPECTED TO STRENGTHEN SIGNIFICANTLY, LEADING TO A LIKELY WEAKENING
OF THE SYSTEM. THE SYSTEM IS EXPECTED TO FILL IN EARLY NEXT WEEK,
EVOLVING INTO A SURFACE TROUGH SOUTHEAST OF THE MASCARENES ISLANDS.

POSSIBLE TC HAZARDS :
- AGALEGA
HEAVY SHOWERS POSSIBLE OVER THE NEXT 24 HOURS. CONDITIONS IMPROVING
SATURDAY EVENING.
- SEYCHELLES (ALPHONSE AND COETIVY)
HEAVY SHOWERS POSSIBLE THIS FRIDAY, CONDITIONS IMPROVING THROUGHOUT
SATURDAY.
- SAINT BRANDON
HEAVY SHOWERS AND ROUGH TO VERY ROUGH SEAS (4M) POSSIBLE STARTING
SUNDAY AFTERNOON.
- RODRIGUES
HEAVY SHOWERS POSSIBLE ON SUNDAY.

LAST WARNING ON THIS SYSTEM, UNLESS RE-INTENSIFICATION.
