From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 2021–22 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season is a ongoing event of the annual cycle of tropical cyclone and subtropical cyclone formation. It began on 15 November 2021, and it will end on 30 April 2022, with the exception for Mauritius and the Seychelles, for which it will end on 15 May 2022. These dates conventionally delimit the period of each year when most tropical and subtropical cyclones form in the basin, which is west of 90°E and south of the Equator. However, tropical cyclones that form at any time between 1 July 2021 and 30 June 2022 will count towards the season total. Tropical and subtropical cyclones in this basin are monitored by the Regional Specialised Meteorological Centre in Réunion
