Cyclone Herold
Intense Tropical Cyclone Herold was a powerful tropical cyclone that affected Madagascar and the Mascarene Islands in March 2020. Herold was the tenth zone of disturbed weather, ninth depression, eighth moderate tropical storm, sixth severe tropical storm, fifth tropical cyclone, and second intense tropical cyclone of the slightly above-average 2019–20 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season. Herold formed on 13 March from a disorganized area of low pressure near Tromelin Island.

When Herold reached Madagascar, it caused five deaths and an unknown amount of damage. Thousands of homes were flooded in the northeastern region. Maroantsetra got the worst of Herold, with all five deaths it caused coming from there.
