=1985–86 Southern Hemisphere tropical cyclone season==

Tropical Cyclone 01S
During the morning hours of September 22 the JTWC upgraded an area of low pressure into a tropical depression. It gradually intensified as it moved north-northwest and eventually reached a peak of 45 mph (70 km/h) and a pressure of 994 mbar late on September 24. 01S maintained that intensity for three days until September 28 when it's circulation became displaced from much of its convection. On September 29 it had dissipated about 520 miles (840 km) from the coast of Madagascar, never to have impacted land.

Severe Tropical Cyclone Nicholas
Tropical Cyclone Nicholas first originated from a broad area of low pressure associated with a monsoonal trough south of Sumatra on November 25. It tracked south and gradually organized itself and became a tropical cyclone early on November 29. It then began to move east and passed through major shipping routes near Christmas Island, though none of the ships record any extensive winds from the nearby cyclone. Nicholas, while remaining a small system, continued to intensify and by December 3 reached a peak intensity as a category four cyclone with winds of 115 mph (185 km/h) 10-min sustained and a pressure of 945 hPa. Afterwards the cyclone turned almost directly south and gradually weakened. On December 7 the Nicholas's convection began to wane and the system had fully dissipated by that evening.
