Meteorological history
On April 20, 2018, the Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC) began to monitor an area of low pressure over the Indian Ocean, for potential tropical cyclogenesis. The JTWC later issued a Tropical Cyclone Formation Alert (TCFA) at 8:00 UTC on April 22. Météo-France designated the system as a tropical depression at 6:00 UTC the next day, following an increase in convection and the development of an inner core. The JTWC issued their first warning on the developing tropical cyclone just six hours later.
