Unknown
Extratropical cyclone, remnant low, tropical disturbance, or monsoon depressionEmnati initially developed as a zone of disturbed weather where it moved westwards over the open waters in Indian Ocean Environmental conditions were assessed as being marginally conducive for tropical cyclogenesis, with warm sea surface temperatures near 28 °C (82 °F) and low vertical wind the disturbance located about 420 nautical miles (780 km; 480 mi) to Diego Garcia south [1][2] On the same day, the JTWC issued a Tropical Cyclone Formation Alert on the system and by 21:00 UTC JTWC subsequently initiated advisories on the system and classified it Tropical Cyclone 13S.[3] The next day, the system organized into a tropical disturbance.[4] The system continued organizing, and at 12:00 UTC, MFR upgraded the system to a tropical depression.[5]By the 17 February, the MFR reported that the system had become a moderate tropical storm and the Sub-Regional Tropical Cyclone Advisory Center in Mauritius named it Emnati.[6][7]
