Post-storm analysis determined that it did not develop until April 2. Joalane rapidly intensified into a Tropical Cyclone strength system and reached peak intensity. Afterwards, Joalane kept strength while accelerating southward. Joalane became a remnant low late on April 11. The remnant low continued south until it degenerated to a trough by strong wind shear.Joalane (was 22S - Southern Indian Ocean) https://www.nasa.gov/content/goddard/tropical-cyclone-22s-southern-indian-ocean NASA 29 November 2021 29 November 2021 Severe Tropical Storm Ikola SWI Ikola 2015-04-06 0805Z.jpg Ikola 2015 path.png April 5 April 6 (Exited basin) 57 65 982 July 2016 On April 5, Tropical Depression 14 developed just west of the border of the Australian region basin.

However, it is the Sub-Regional Tropical Cyclone Advisory Centers in Mauritius and Madagascar who name the systems. The Sub-Regional Tropical Cyclone Advisory Center in Mauritius names the storm should it intensify into a moderate tropical storm between 55°E and 90°E, if the 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, while a name is normally only used once so there are currently no names are retired.2010 Tropical Cyclone Operational Plan for the South-West Indian Ocean 2012-06-07 Regional Association I Tropical Cyclone Committee World Meteorological Organization http://www.wmo.int/pages/prog/www/tcp/documents/TCP-12_2010_English.pdf Of note is the presence of the name Nathan in this list.
