140 km/h (85 mph), and on the next day, the MFR estimated peak 10‑minute winds of 95 km/h (60 mph). Increasing shear caused Doloresse to rapidly weaken to tropical depression status on February 19. Although the JTWC assessed the storm as continuing to the southeast and striking northwestern Madagascar, the MFR estimated the system turned to a southwest drift and dissipated on February 20. In the Comoros, Doloresse produced strong wind gusts, damaging crops and houses on Grande Comore. Heavy rainfall caused landslides, and the cyclone caused a shipwreck, killing 67 people on the island of Mohéli. The western periphery of the circulation dropped heavy rainfall in Tanzania. Tropical Cyclone Edwige On February 18, a tropical disturbance began forming about southwest of Diego Garcia, becoming a tropical depression the next day. A trough steered the new system to the southeast, but also prevented significant strengthening due to wind shear. Late on February 21, the MFR upgraded the depression to Tropical Storm Edwige, and the next day the JTWC began tracking it as Tropical Cyclone 16S. When the trough weakened, Edwige turned to the south and later southwest, reaching an initial peak of 75 km/h (50 mph) on February 23. That day, increasing wind shear caused the storm to weaken to minimal tropical storm status, and the JTWC briefly discontinued advisories on February 24. The strengthening ridge caused Edwige to accelerate to the west, bringing it south of Rodrigues without any effects on February 24. On the next day, the storm passed north of Mauritius and Réunion, where it produced wind gusts of and , respectively, as well as heavy rainfall. Due to crop damage caused by Edwige, as well as a drought later in the year, Mauritius failed to reach its quota for sugar outputs. After passing north of Réunion, Edwige began reintensifying due to decreasing wind shear, and the JTWC reissued advisories on February 25. With warm waters, the storm developed increasing outflow as well as an eye. On February 26, Edwige intensified into a tropical cyclone and reached peak 10‑minute winds of 150 km/h (90 mph) while approaching eastern Madagascar. On the same day, the JTWC estimated peak 1‑minute winds of 175 km/h (110 mph). For unknown reasons, Edwige executed a counterclockwise loop along the Malagasy coast near Mananjary. Due to land interaction, the cyclone rapidly weakened and turned to the north-northeast off the coast, although the JTWC
