-'''Intense Tropical Cyclone Chido''' is an ongoing [[tropical cyclone]] currently affecting [[Madagascar]] and threatening [[Comoros]], [[Mayotte]] and [[Mozambique]]. The fourth tropical disturbance, the second tropical cyclone, and the second intense tropical cyclone of the [[2024–25 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season]], Chido formed from a [[tropical disturbance]] southeast of [[Diego Garcia]] that was first noted on 5 December 2024. It continued westward, and steadily intensified before being named ''Chido'' on 8 December. After it underwent rapid intensification, Chido made landfall at [[Agaléga]] in [[Mauritius]] on 11 December, peaking in intensity the following day.

-On 5 December, the MFR noted that a tropical disturbance formed southeast of Diego Garcia. The JTWC began tracking the system later that day. Late on 7 December, the MFR designated the system as Tropical Depression 04. At 18:00 UTC the following day, the system intensified into Tropical Storm Chido. Chido continued to strengthen, eventually becoming a Severe Tropical Storm later on 10 December. On 11 December, Chido developed an eye, and rapidly strengthened into a category 4-equivalent intense tropical cyclone, as it made landfall at [[Agaléga]] in [[Mauritius]], making Chido the strongest tropical cyclone to directly affect the island since [[1983–84 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season#Intense Tropical Cyclone Andry|Cyclone Andry]] in 1983.<ref>{{cite news|title=Tropical Cyclone Chido hits Agalega as the strongest in over 50 years, heads toward Mayotte and Mozambique|url=https://watchers.news/2024/12/12/tropical-cyclone-chido-landfall-agalega-mayotte-mozambique/|date=12 December 2024|access-date=13 December 2024|website=The Watchers}}</ref> The next day, Chido intensified further, peaking as an intense tropical cyclone, with 1-minute sustained winds exceeding {{cvt|155|mph|kph}}.
