South Atlantic. In eastern Madagascar, 24‑hour rainfall totals included at Toamasina, while gusts exceeded on the offshore island of Île Sainte-Marie. Bonita caused widespread flooding of rice crops, as well as heavy infrastructure and crop damage along the northeastern coastline. The cyclone killed 25 people in Madagascar and left 5,000 people homeless. In Mozambique, Bonita dropped heavy rainfall and produced flooding, killing as many as 17 people. Floodwaters destroyed of crops and demolished many buildings, including about 12 schools. The remnants of Bonita dropped the heaviest rainfall in 80 years in eastern Zimbabwe, and heavy rainfall also spread into Zambia. Severe Tropical Storm Hubert–Coryna In the Australian basin, the monsoon trough spawned a tropical disturbance near Christmas Island on January 3. With a ridge to the south, the system tracked to the west-southwest, developing into a tropical low on January 6 and being named Hubert the next day by the BoM. It quickly intensified to reach peak 10‑minutes winds of 150 km/h (90 mph) on January 9 to the north of the Cocos Islands, but later that day began weakening due to increasing wind shear. At around 1800 UTC on January 9, Hubert crossed into the south-west Indian Ocean with 10‑minute winds of 100 km/h (65 mph), and at that time, was renamed the cyclone Coryna. The wind shear quickly tore the convection away from the center, leaving the circulation exposed by January 10. The next day, Coryna weakened to tropical depression status, and on January 12 the circulation dissipated in the central Indian Ocean. Severe Tropical Storm Doloresse After about a month in which there were no named storms in the basin, a tropical disturbance formed within the ITCZ to the southwest of Seychelles on February 12. It moved slowly to the southwest with a well-defined center and a broad area of convection. For several days, the system remained weak until reaching more favorable conditions on February 16, and the next day it intensified into Tropical Storm Doloresse. The storm slowed while reaching the western extent of a ridge, drifting for nearly 24 hours about north-northwest of Grande Comore. On February 17, an approaching trough turned Doloresse to the south-southeast, bringing the storm about 55 km (35 mi) southwest of Grande Comore; this made it the first cyclone to directly affect the nation since Cyclone Elinah 13 years prior. On February 17, the JTWC estimated peak 1‑minute winds of
