 * "The 2015–16 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season was a slightly below average season of tropical cyclone formation in the South-West Indian Ocean." please change to "The 2015–16 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season was a slightly below average season" to avoid redundancy.

 * Changed to "The 2015–16 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season was a slightly below average event in tropical cyclone formation" for minimum redundancy. atomic  7732  23:21, 26 February 2017 (UTC)


 * "The annual cyclone season began on November 15, 2015, with the first storm, Annabelle, forming four days following. The final and strongest storm, Fantala, dissipated on April 24, 2016, before the season ended on April 30 for most of the region. In Mauritius and the Seychelles, the cyclone season ended half a month later, on May 15." source the season ending dates please (look at other season articles).

 * Butting in here to remind people that there is no official cyclone season for the SWIO, just national ones which are allowed to be whatever they like. See the WMO operational plan for the region.Jason Rees (talk) 23:43, 26 February 2017 (UTC)

 * "The season started on November 19, with the formation of Annabelle. After a month of inactivity, Bohale formed, but was fairly weak, and only reached moderate tropical cyclone strength. Another month passed before Corentin formed on January 20. In February, the basin became somewhat active with Daya forming, and Uriah entering the basin days later. Emeraude formed in March, quickly peaking at intense tropical cyclone strength, before quickly weakening. Also, an unmonitored tropical depression entered the basin, but became extratropical soon after. Moderate Tropical Storm 07 formed at the end of March. The storm was operationally declared a depression, but was upgraded in post-storm analysis to a moderate tropical cyclone. In April, the season began to wind down. Very Intense Tropical Cyclone Fantala formed near the end of the month, and reached peak intensity as the strongest tropical cyclone recorded in the basin in terms of sustained winds. Fantala dissipated on April 24, ending the season." source? YE Pacific Hurricane  22:35, 26 February 2017 (UTC)

 * "By November 24, Annabelle's convection became disorganized as a result of increased wind shear induced by an upper level trough and cooler ocean temperatures and it was declared post-tropical.[7]" when was it delcared post-tropical? Also, link wind shear, trough (meteorology), and sea surface temperatures somewhere in here. Oh, and post-tropical cyclone too. YE Pacific Hurricane  22:35, 26 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Added links. Annabelle became post-tropical on the day that begins the sentence. Does this need clarification/better structure? atomic  7732  23:21, 26 February 2017 (UTC)

 * "On December 3, a disorganized area of convection developed over the eastern equatorial region of the South-West Indian Ocean.[8] " can you define the location better here somehow? Maybe "near the equator in the central Indian Ocean". YE Pacific Hurricane  22:35, 26 February 2017 (UTC)
