Cyclone Batsirai: Intense Tropical Cyclone Batsirai Was A Cyclone Which

Cyclone Batsirai
Intense Tropical Cyclone Batsirai was a cyclone which

heavily impacted Madagascar, becoming the strongest tropical Intense Tropical Cyclone
cyclone to strike Madagascar since Cyclone Enawo in 2017. Batsirai
It also made landfall shortly after Tropical Storm Ana, which Intense tropical cyclone (SWIO scale)
also struck the island country during the 2021–22 South-West
Category 4 tropical cyclone (SSHWS)
Indian Ocean cyclone season.[1][2] The second tropical
disturbance, the first tropical cyclone, and the first intense
tropical cyclone of the season, Batsirai originated from a
tropical disturbance that was first noted on 24 January. It
fluctuated in intensity and became a moderate tropical storm
on 27 January, after which it unexpectedly rapidly intensified
into an intense tropical cyclone. It then weakened and
struggled to intensify through the coming days due to present
wind shear and dry air, where it weakened after some time.
Afterward, it entered much more favorable conditions, rapidly
intensified yet again to a high-end Category 4 cyclone on the
Saffir–Simpson scale while moving towards Madagascar. The
storm underwent an eyewall replacement cycle the next day,
and fluctuated in intensity before making landfall in
Madagascar as a Category 3 cyclone, later rapidly weakening
due to the mountainous terrain on the island.
Mauritius and Réunion both experienced damage from the

storm, though the effects were relatively minor. 123 deaths—
121 in Madagascar and 2 in Mauritius—were reported due to Intense Tropical Cyclone Batsirai near
Batsirai, and damage assessments are still continuing.[3][4] As peak intensity northwest of Mauritius on
the storm approached, Madagascar prepared recovery 2 February.

Meteorological history
The origins of Cyclone Batsirai were from an area of
convection which was designated as Invest 96S over the
eastern part of the basin, located approximately 493 nmi
(913 km; 567 mi) from the Cocos Islands 5 hours later,
along with its disorganized convection over a broad LLC
the disturbance was also located within a marginally
favourable environment for further development, with high
levels of vertical wind shear, being offset by warm sea
surface temperatures of around 29–30 °C (84–86 °F) The

Subtropical cyclone depression at 12:00 UTC the same day, as it continued to
improve its convective structure along its low-level

center.[14] After its convective activity was briefly
interrupted after 18:00 UTC due to dry air,[15] The JTWC subsequently initiated advisories on the system
and classified it as Tropical Cyclone 08S at 03:00 UTC the next day.[16]
Three hours later, the MFR reported that the system had become a
moderate tropical storm and the Mauritius Meteorological Services
named it Batsirai.[nb 3][nb 4][17][18] Between 06:00 UTC and 12:00
UTC, Batsirai underwent a rapid deepening and intensified from a
moderate tropical storm to an intense tropical cyclone within a span
of just three hours. According to the MFR, it was favoured by the
very small size of the system and its fast movement. It had also
established an inner core of 75 to 90 km (45 to 55 mi) in
diameter.[19] Two hours later, the JTWC also upgraded it to a
Category 2 tropical cyclone on the Saffir–Simpson scale, as it
developed a small eye at about 7 nmi (13 km; 8.1 mi) in
diameter.[20]
However, by 18:00 UTC, it started to rapidly decline
after its eye quickly collapsed and the cloud tops had warmed
since. Because of these reasons, the MFR downgraded to a tropical
cyclone.[21] At midnight of 28 January, it further downgraded to a
moderate tropical storm, after further weakening of the convective Cyclone Batsirai near its initial peak
structure.[22] Three hours later, the JTWC downgraded back to a intensity on 27 January
tropical storm status.[23]
Batsirai resumed its intensification after upgrading to a severe tropical storm status at 06:00 UTC the next
day.[24] Nine hours later, the JTWC upgraded to a Category 1 tropical cyclone.[25] At 03:00 UTC of 30
January, the JTWC further upgraded to a Category 2 tropical cyclone after noting a well-defined central
dense overcast (CDO) and a microwave eye feature.[26] The MFR further upgraded it to a tropical cyclone
status at midday.[27] Three hours later, the JTWC upgraded to a Category 3 tropical cyclone, as its eyewall
had expanded and also developed a 5 nmi (9.3 km; 5.8 mi) wide pinhole-eye.[28] However it was short
lived and it re-declined to a Category 1 status by 03:00 UTC of 1 February, as its pinhole-shaped eye just
collapsed shortly and its eyewall became disorganized. Possibly because of its struggle to maintain its
convective structure against the ever increasing vertical wind shear (VWS), despite high sea-surface
temperature (SST).[29][30] But at 15:00 UTC the same day, it did a comeback to a Category 2 status, as it
managed to consolidate and its eye feature re-appeared in the satellite imagery.[31] Three hours later, the
MFR upgraded it to a intense tropical cyclone status.[32]
By 03:00 UTC on 2 February, the cyclone underwent another round of rapid intensification, intensifying
from a Category 2 to a Category 4 tropical cyclone.[33] Its eyewall rapidly organized and also developed a
15 nmi (28 km; 17 mi) wide eye.[33] After reaching its peak at 12:00 UTC, the eyewall replacement cycle,
at 15:00 UTC as satellite imagery depicted formation of another eyewall and also showing signs of
weakening.[34][35] It weakened to a Category 3 system during this time. After completing the eyewall
replacement cycle, the storm again briefly became into a Category 4 system with MFR determined that
Batsirai central barometric pressure had rapidly fallen to 934 hPa (mbar; 27.58 inHg).[36]It weekened again
to Category 3 system as the cyclone has maintained and its overall convective structure.[37][38]
Gradually weakening due to the land interaction with Madagascar, it made landfall on 17:30 UTC of 5
February close to the city of Nosy Varika. the MFR declared that Batsirai had degenerated into an overland
depression and the JTWC downgraded to tropical storm[39][40] the system entered into the Mozambique
channel and the MFR re-upgraded to moderate tropical storm status.[41]By 06:00 UTC on 7 February is
weak into an remnant low and weak again into post-tropical.[42][43] Despite convective activity high wind
shear and lower sea surface temperatures, due to baroclinic forces, the MFR re-upgraded again to moderate
tropical storm[44] Then it underwent subtropical transition and the JTWC ceased advisories on the system
on 15:00 UTC of 8 February while MFR issued their last advisory on the storm as weakened into the post-
tropical[45]the system was last noted on 11 February.[46]
Preparations
Mauritius
A class IV cyclone warning was issued on 2 February as Batsirai

neared the island.[47]
Madagascar
The landfall area of Batsirai was projected to accumulate up to 250 Cyclone Batsirai rapidly intensifying
to 500 mm (10 to 20 in) of rainfall. [48] The country's capital, on 2 February
Antananarivo, was predicted to have 150 millimetres (6 in) of
rainfall.[2] Search and Rescue teams were deployed in Brickaville,
Manakara, and Morondava. The START Network set aside $567,000 to provide assistance. Emergency
stock lists were updated by HCT members and help restock humanitarian items. The country's
government's disaster management agency worked with UNOSAT as well, and aerial assistance was also
prepared as Batsirai approached.[49] Extensive flooding in the east, southeast, and central highlands and
major damage were anticipated. The storm was also expected to cause more damage than usual due to the
deforestation the country experienced in the last 20 years.[50] The third largest city in the nation, Antsirabe,
was forecasted to receive in excess of 250 millimetres (10 in) of rainfall.[51]
Batsirai was expected to worsen food scarcities and emergencies in the country. Schools were closed on 4
February, and residents in low-lying and coastal areas were advised to leave.[52] The storm was also feared
to hamper the relief effects of Tropical Storm Ana weeks before.[53] A predicted 4.4 million people were
expected to be affected by the storm across 14 districts, with 595,000 directly. More than 150,000
inhabitants were expected be displaced. The IFRC launched a fundraiser to help with potential victims of
the storm.[54][55][56]
Waves of up to 15 m (50 ft) were forecasted as the storm closed in on the coast. The United Nations
worked with aid agencies to help with preparedness and the aftermath. Humanitarian items were stockpiled,
and rescue aircraft were put on standby. A spokesman for the UN's organization OCHA, stated the impact
of Batsirai was expected to be "considerable".[57][58]
Impact
Mauritius
Along with the airport, all transport services were closed due to the impact. Wind gusts reached 155 km/h
(96 mph),[59] and rain totalled 180 mm (7 in) in other areas of the island country. Two deaths were
reported.[3][60] Trees had been uprooted in many areas, and at least 7,500 homes faced power outages.[61]
A total of 138 people sought refuge in evacuation centers.[62] The Mahébourg waterfront was damaged by
large waves, with several chairs and tables swept into the sea.[63]
Réunion
At least 36,000 people on the island lost power as Batsirai

approached,[64] with 10,000 still out on 7 February.[65] Several
people were injured, with the storm causing carbon monoxide
poisoning in 10 people.[66] Eleven sailors were stranded in an oil
tanker during the storm, and were rescued on 4 February.[67]
Agricultural losses were estimated at €47 million ($53.3
million).[nb 5][68]
Madagascar
Communication was sparse initially when the storm made landfall.

Batsirai's conditions caused power outages and forced many people
to move into shelters. Trees fell and power grids were knocked out,

as well as homes were destroyed.[69] At least 112,000 people[6]
landfall in Madagascar on 5 February
were displaced by the storm, with 91,000 left homeless.[70] Several
houses had their roofs completely blown away, and many large
coconut palm trees were blown over. Some houses were reduced to just wooden frames, and a survivor
said the damage resembled a "fire", and that it was the "strongest cyclone [anyone] had experienced".
Mananjary and Manakara were particularly heavy hit, with the former having at least 26,000 displaced
alone, and had its hospital and prison damaged as well.[71] A large portion of Madagascar was still
waterlogged from Ana weeks earlier, and the arrival of Batsirai worsened the effects.[72][65]
Nosy Varika was strongly damaged. An official described the damage as if they were "bombed", with 95%
of buildings being reported as destroyed. Floods cut access to the town. Electric poles fell, and roofs were
torn off in the city of Fianarantsoa, which was also heavily flooded. A landslide was caused by the cyclone
in the region of Haute Matsiatra.[73] Flooding and debris rendered 17 bridges and 17 roads impassable, as
well as at least 69 classrooms completely destroyed, and 439 damaged; this left over 9,000 children unable
to attend lessons,[74] with 403 in Mananjary alone.[75] After the storm passed, already flooded canals and
rivers continued to rise.[76] In Mananjary and surrounding areas, early reports indicated over 6,000
buildings were flooded, with half of them destroyed.[65] The president of Madagascar, Andry Rajoelina,
showed images of a church‘s metal roof twisted off, along other damage online after he visited Mananjary.
Fruit trees and rice paddies were ripped and flooded in the town and other areas, hampering the harvest that
was only two weeks away.[77] The time it took to travel to the town by car was increased several days due
to damage. Main roads linking the capital to smaller areas were cut off, making relief efforts even
harder.[71][74]
The UNHAS aerial flight discovered that Fitovinany region mostly suffered flooding damage; with several
communities taking heavy hits to their agriculture and infrastructure.[74] In total, over 17,100 homes were
damaged, with 7,488 destroyed, 2,714 partially, and 6,978 flooded. 53 health centers were damaged, along
with 6 destroyed.[78] In Ikongo alone, 87 people died.[7] Collapsing homes killed people in their sleep.[6] A
member of parliament representing the district also said that people also drowned in flooded areas there as
well.[79]
As of 11 February 120 deaths have been reported,[6][7]including 13 children, with 5 being under 12 years
of age.[80][78]

Madagascar
The impacts of Tropical Storm Ana were compounded by the

damage that Batsirai brought.[83]
Schools and churches prepared to shelter those displaced

around Mananjary.[73] World Food Programme distributed hot
meals to 4,000 evacuated and displaced people in shelters.[84]
Drinking water and basic necessities were lacking in impacted
areas, and the spreading of several diseases was also a
concern.[85] A humanitarian crisis was also feared to rise out of
the storms effects.[86] Aerial rescue effort first took place on 6
February via an UNHAS flight. The Malagasy government False-color satellite imagery of flooding in
provided households affected with monetary donations. Madagascar on 10 February
UNICEF also supported relief efforts by giving out kits to
create child-friendly spaces in several regions of the country.
Other measures were taken to help decrease incidents inside of shelters as well.[83] A team that initially
consisted of five EU Civil Protection officials from France, Finland, and Sweden traveled to affected areas
to help victims of the storm.[87]
The PRIOI had deployed 87 tons of humanitarian material from its warehouses in the country to use for
relief efforts, an effort that cost approximately €667,000.[88] An estimated 75,000 people—including
37,500 children—were in need of relief assistance after Batsirai.[80] WASH partners delivered items to
Vatovavy, Fitovinany, and Atsimo Atisinanana regions.[78]
International response
France and Germany have offered water purification modules via the EU Civil Protection Mechanism.[87]
