Observed and forecast tracks: southern hemisphere 2024-25

All tropical cyclones in the southern hemisphere season in 2024-25 are listed below including details of their start and end dates, lowest central pressure and maximum sustained wind (MSW).

Click on the name of the tropical cyclone to see a chart of the observed track and forecast tracks from the Met Office global model. Verification statistics on each tropical cyclone are available upon request from [email protected]. At the end of the season a verification report on the performance of the Met Office global model will be published.

South-West Indian (west of 90°E)
Name & ID Start & end dates Central pressure, 1-/10-minute MSW Comments on Met Office global model forecasts
Ancha (01S) 01-04 October 992 mb, 50/45 knots The track of Ancha was well predicted with a slight slow bias.
Bheki (02S) 14-22 November 943 mb, 115/105 knots Track forecast errors were mostly low, except at long lead times due to a right-of-track bias in early forecasts.

Note on estimated wind speeds

1-minute MSW: Maximum sustained wind (knots) averaged over one minute (JTWC Hawaii)
10-minute MSW: Maximum sustained wind (knots) averaged over 10 minutes (Southern Hemisphere RSMCs and TCWCs)

Note: Although 1-minute average winds should be stronger than 10-minute average, this may not be the case here since estimates are obtained from different warning centres using different analysis techniques.
