There haven’t been more than seven tropical cyclones in a season since 1976. Cyclone Pawan weakened as it moved over the northern tip of Somalia, but some devasting impacts were still felt. There have been at least two reported deaths so far, as well as damage to houses, roads and communication lines.Concurrently, two other tropical cyclones, Belna and Ambali, were sat in the South-West Indian Ocean. Belna made landfall on the 9th December over northern Madagascar, bringing strong winds and rain. The Red Cross estimate that 260,000 people were at risk. These comprise the first two tropical storms of the South-West Indian Ocean Cyclone season, which runs until 30th April 2020.
