issued its seasonal forecast of cyclone activity for the basin, predicting a below-average season with 5–8 moderate tropical storms due to an expected strong El Niño event. The MFR also stated that the chance for a below-average season was 70%. Average cyclone activity was given a 20% chance, while an above-average level of activity was given a 10% chance. The Mauritius Meteorological Services (MMS) also released their summer outlooks for the season, stating that around six to eight cyclones were expected to form, with the region west of Diego Garcia having environmental conditions more conducive for cyclogenesis.

Severe Tropical Storm Alvaro

In December 2023, the MFR began to monitor the potential for tropical cyclogenesis as Kelvin waves and Rossby waves intersected in the western portion of the agency's area of responsibility, ahead of a wet phase of the Madden–Julian oscillation (MJO). By 29 December, a monsoon trough had produced

During 1 January 2024, Alvaro's maintenance of a curved band and the emergence of an

Tropical Cyclone Belal

On 11 January, the MFR marked a zone of disturbed weather, citing the conducive conditions induced by the MJO and an equatorial Rossby wave. The monsoon trough north-northeast of Madagascar had intensified several days prior, as convergence transferred moisture aloft. Concentration of convection near the center increased, particularly in the western section, as the system moved south. By the next day, the JTWC issued a

imagery indicated an eye in the lower-layer while the storm steered more westward, and the JTWC began issuing advisories on the system as a tropical cyclone. By 13 January, it intensified to a moderate tropical storm, prompting the MMS to name it ''Belal''. Intense lightning activity within the center further signaled a period of rapid intensification, leading to Belal becoming a severe tropical storm. As the storm developed a well-defined eye, the MFR upgraded Belal to a tropical cyclone early on 14 January. However, while Belal recurved southeastward, wind shear began to deteriorate the storm's structure into becoming asymmetrical. The eyewall then struck the island of

during the next day. The storm briefly weakened back into a severe tropical storm, before again becoming a tropical cyclone on 16 January after organization of the CDO. Weakening then continued from dry air intrusion, causing Belal to become a moderate tropical storm on the next day. By the end of 18 January, Belal had degenerated into a remnant low. As the system developed, the MFR issued a yellow cyclone pre-alert for

as Belal neared the island. The next day, the MFR hoisted a purple alert for Réunion as Belal neared the coast. The eyewall of Belal remained just offshore the northern coast of Réunion during the storm's closest passage. Four people died during the storm in Réunion. Around 150,000 electricity customers lost power, representing more than a third of the island's population. Around 37,000 people lost access to water. Two people died in Mauritius.. After the storm's passage, Mauritius' head of meteorology stepped down after his institution was accused of "not giving adequate warning about the storm’s impact."


Severe Tropical Storm Candice

On 17 January, the MFR noted in its daily bulletin that a strong surge of monsoon flow northeast of the Mascarenes could produce a precursor
vortex In fluid dynamics, a vortex ( : vortices or vortexes) is a region in a fluid in which the flow revolves around an axis line, which may be straight or curved. Vortices form in stirred fluids, and may be observed in smoke rings, whirlpools in th ...
. By 22 January, the MFR began releasing warnings on a broad but ill-defined circulation. Convection was offsetted far from the center as the system turns from south to southwest under the influence of a low-level ridge. Upper-level divergence in conjunction with warm sea surface temperatures subdued the effects of vertical shear, enabling consolidation of the disturbance. On 23 January, the JTWC issued a TCFA for the system. The next day, the MFR reported that the system intensified into a tropical depression at 06:00 UTC on 24 January, before the MMS upgraded the system to a moderate tropical storm two hours later, naming it ''Candice''. On 25 January, the JTWC followed suit in recognizing the system as Tropical Cyclone 08S. Candice eventually encountered more hostile environmental conditions, as wind shear began to increase dramatically. Convective activity associated with Candice became limited to the cyclone, the MFR estimated that the system had peaked as a severe tropical storm with 10-minute sustained winds of . Environmental conditions and increasingly strong wind shear displaced the storm's convection, weakening it further. Candice degenerated into a post-tropical depression on 27 January as deep convective had ceased, and the final advisory was then issued by MFR. The same day, the JTWC issued its final warning on the system as it became a weakly defined system with an exposed

(LLCC).


Intense Tropical Cyclone Anggrek

On 25 January, Severe Tropical Cyclone Anggrek moved into the basin from the Australian region and was classified as a tropical cyclone. Anggrek strengthened into a Category 3 hurricane around 09:00 UTC on 26 January, after eye had emerged on satellite imagery, surrounded by a ring of cloud tops. Six hours later, the cyclone maintained a well-defined eye, and the MFR later upgraded the system to an intense tropical cyclone. The cyclone was highly compact, with a distinct eye. The cyclone weakened and bottomed out at on 28 January. Later the next day, the JTWC stated that Anggrek peaked with one-minute sustained winds of —equivalent to a Category 4 hurricane. Around the same time, the convection decreasingly organized and wrapped around the LLCC. The system was moving quickly southeastwards, steered by a ridge to its east. Shortly afterward, Anggrek's cloud pattern slightly deteriorated; it then weakened due to strong wind shear. Soon after, Anggrek's eye gradually disappeared from infrared and visible satellite imagery. The MFR issued its last advisory on the storm as the convective structure weakened further at 18:00 UTC on 30 January. Later the next day, the JTWC discontinued warnings.


Tropical Depression 05

On 25 January, the MFR began highlighting the potential for tropical cyclone development in their daily bulletins, noting an increase in shower activity northeast of
St. Brandon It is highly likely that the name Saint Brandon was derived from the French sailors and corsairs that sailed to and from Britanny, after a town called Saint-Brandan. It has since been Anglicised to Saint Brandon and is also known as the Cargad ...
. The monsoon trough began to produce persistent convection over the southwestern Indian Ocean. The disturbance continued organizing, and at 00:00 UTC on 30 January, MFR upgraded the system to a tropical disturbance. The same day, the JTWC issued a TCFA for the system as its circulation consolidated, and the next day, it recognized the system as Tropical Cyclone 09S. Convective activity within the disturbance become better organized, resulting in it strengthening to a tropical depression. However, deep convection eventually dissipated, and the system degenerated into a remnant low at 06:00 UTC on 1 February; however, it resumed an increase in convective activity and organization, prompting the MFR to classify the storm as a tropical depression again by the next day. Six hours later, they released their final advisory due to the system being affected by low to moderate wind shear, with its deep convection displaced from the eastern semicircle. The JTWC subsequently issued their final advisory on the system, as its circulation became fully exposed.
