Named shortly after Geralda was dissipating, Hollanda, a category 4 cyclone was the most devastating tropical cyclone to have hit the island of Mauritius in the Indian Ocean since tropical cyclone Gervaise in 1975. The cyclone passed 10km to the west of Mauritius on February 10, 1994. The island was seriously affected, with winds of over 160 km/h (100 mph) and torrential rains (an average of 400mm for the island). The maximum gusts speed recorded was 218km/h when Hollanda was at its closest to the country, earning a warning cyclone class 4 (the maximum). A warning cyclone class 4 is issued by the Mauritian Meteorological Services when gusts speeds of the order of 120km/h is being recorded on the island and is expected to continue. On the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale, Hollanda reached category 4 (winds speeds of 210-249km/h). Some sources issued that tropical cyclone Hollanda could have exceeded the gusts speed of 216km/h and reached about 300km/h in Port Louis due to the considerable damage caused in the northern part of the island. In the capital city, some concrete buildings were severely damaged and a construction tower crane collapsed. The Mauritius Meteorological Services rejected that Hollanda could have peak to a category 5 or a very intense tropical cyclone with gusts of 280-300km/h. During the cyclone, three people died by a falling tree, 50% of the telephone system was down, electrical power was nearly completely out, 50% of sugar plantation was destroyed, many vegetables fields were devastated, 1500 people became homeless and concrete buildings were moderately damaged. Major roads were blocked by trees and lanslides. The estimated damaged caused by the cyclone was USD 135.4 million.[1][2][3]

The last of the spree of devastating Madagascar cyclones, Nadia made landfall in Madagascar in late March. After crossing the northern tip of the island, Nadia impacted Mozambique before returning to the Mozambique channel and finally dissipating. Nadia killed dozens in Madagascar. It claimed around 200 more lives in Mozambique and left over one million people homeless.

On the morning of November 2, Tropical Cyclone Melanie from the Australian region crossed in with winds of 55 knots (65 miles per hour) and was designated Severe Tropical Storm Bellamine by RSMC La Reunion as it countinued to intensify.[1]. At the same time, the JTWC assesed Melanie-Bellamine with winds of 75 mph (120 km/h) [2]. On the morning of November 3, the storm was upgraded to tropical cyclone intensity by RSMC La Reunion.[1] The next morning, Bellamine was upgraded to intense tropical cyclone status, becoming the first intense tropical cyclone of the year.[1] That day, Bellamine reached it's peak intensity of 110 mph (180 km/h) and 925 hPa (mbar). The system kept that peak for only 12 hours before deteriorating to a tropical cyclone as it turned southwest.[1] Bellamine unexpectedly re-intensified back to it's peak intensity on November 7.[1] This time, the storm kept this strength for 18 hours before weakening back to tropical cyclone strength for the last time on the 8th.[1] The system quickly weakened becoming a severe tropical storm on the 9th and a moderate tropical storm later that same day. Bellamine weakened into a tropical disturbance on November 11 and the final advisory was issued. Melanie-Bellamine caused no reported damage or deaths.
