The 1967–68 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season was an above average cyclone season.
Cyclone Georgette was the longest lasting tropical cyclone in the south-west Indian Ocean basin since the advent of satellite imagery. It formed on January 10, 1968, well to the northeast of the Mascarene Islands. Tracking generally westward, Georgette struck northern Madagascar on January 15 as a tropical storm. It moved southwestward in the Mozambique Channel, crossing over eastern Mozambique on January 19. It quickly reached open waters while gradually intensifying, executing a loop off of eastern Mozambique. Georgette continued to the southeast, passing over southern Madagascar on January 28. It was last noted on February 2 after lasting for 24 days.
