The small eye of Dina, only  in diameter, quickly became well-defined, although it became obscured by the central dense overcast on visible satellite imagery. On January 19, the cyclone slowed as it turned to the west-southwest, after the ridge to its south intensified. The intensification rate briefly slowed, before Dina rapidly intensified late on January 19, becoming an intense tropical cyclone early the next day. Surrounded by an eyewall of deep convection, Dina intensified to reach its peak intensity on January 20. Based on satellite intensity estimates between, the JTWC estimated peak one-minute sustained winds of 240 km/h (150 mph), about  north-northeast of Rodrigues Island. At around the same time, MFR estimated peak ten-minute winds of 215 km/h (130 mph). While at its peak, Dina had a very symmetrical structure, and gusts were estimated to have reached.

On January 20 while near peak intensity, Dina slowed its movement further and moved more toward the west. After previously being in the projected track of the cyclone, Rodrigues Island was bypassed by the cyclone passing about  to its north. After passing by the island, Dina underwent an eyewall replacement cycle, which resulted in an outer eyewall forming and replacing the previous, smaller one. This resulted in the cyclone weakening slightly, although it retained much of its intensity while tracking toward Mauritius and Réunion. Late on January 21, Dina passed about  north of Cape Malheureux in Mauritius, with 10-minute winds estimated at 185 km/h (115 mph); however, the strongest winds remained offshore. At the time, the storm's eye became asymmetric with a diameter of. Late the next day, Dina also passed about  off the north coast of Réunion, and although the island was in the forecast track, the cyclone accelerated to the west in the final hours and spared the island from the strongest winds. This abrupt shift in tract took place as the cyclone interacted with the high terrain of Réunion. Additionally, Doppler weather radar showed the highest reflectivity values to be  from the center.

On January   19, the cyclone slowed as it turned to the west - southwest, after the ridge to its south intensified.

 On January   20 while near acme saturation, Dina slowed its movement far and move more toward the west.

This result in the cyclone weakening slightly, although it retained much of its intensity while tracking toward Mauritius and Réunion. deep on January   21, Dina passed about   north of Cape Malheureux in Mauritius, with 10 - minute wind estimated at 185   km / h (115   mph); however, the strongest wind remained offshore.

Late the next day, Dina also evanesce about   off the north slide of Réunion, and although the island was in the forecast track, the cyclone accelerated to the west in the final hours and spar the island from the strongest winds.
