Very Intense Tropical Cyclone Ambali is a currently powerful tropical cyclone, the first named storm, the first very intense tropical cyclone from 2019–20 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season.

Meteorological history
While Belna was gradually developing out of an extended trough of low pressure, another area of convection formed along the same trough between the Seychelles and the Chagos Archipelago in early December. The system organized quickly, attaining formative rainbands around a coalescing center of circulation on 3 December. At 06:00 UTC, the system was classified as a Zone of Disturbed Weather. A day later, the system was upgraded to a tropical depression following a significant increase in convection near its center. Steered by a high-pressure area centered over the southern Indian Ocean, the tropical depression moved south. The quick organization continued into 5 December, and MFR named the system Moderate Tropical Storm Ambali following the emergence of a central dense overcast. It then intensified into a Severe Tropical Storm a few hours later. Buoyed by a highly favorable environment with waters almost as warm as 30°C (86°F), explosive intensification ensued, accompanied by the formation of an eye. At 18:00 UTC on 5 December, MFR upgraded Ambali to intense tropical cyclone status following a sharp 75 km/h increase in the storm's winds in 3 hours, jumping from tropical-storm intensity to Category 3 hurricane-equivalent strength with 1-minute sustained winds up to 115 mph (185 km/h). By 00:00 UTC on 6 December, the cyclone was upgraded to a very intense tropical cyclone, the first in the basin since Fantala in 2016.
