 About a month after the previous storm dissipated, the JTWC classified another tropical depression on October 11 about 960 km (600 mi) east-southeast of Seychelles. The system tracked west-southwestward, and the MFR also began issuing warnings on it as Tropical Depression A2 on October 14. Two days later, the JTWC briefly upgraded the depression to a tropical storm, although MFR only estimated peak 10 ‑ minute winds of 50 km / h (30 mph). By that time, the storm had turned to the west, passing north of the northern tip of Madagascar. After turning to the west-northwest, the depression dissipated on October 22. While the depression was active, the MFR also briefly tracked another tropical depression to its northeast, which formed on October 16 about 540 km (345 mi) south-southeast of Diego Garcia. Classified as Tropical Depression A3 by MFR, the depression tracked to the west-southwest, turned to the southeast, and resumed its westward trajectory for several days before dissipating on October 22.
