In the South Indian Ocean:

Tropical cyclone Deliwe forms approximately 325 nm southwest of Antananarivo, Madagascar.

In the Pacific Ocean:

A fresh cyclone is brewing in the Pacific near the Solomon Islands as humanitarian groups struggle to get relief supplies to outlying islands in Tonga devastated by Cyclone Ian. Solomons forecasters said the region's second cyclone of the summer could hit this weekend, a week after Ian slammed into Tonga, killing one person, leaving about 4000 homeless and destroying crops on outer islands.
