Mauritius Cyclone Event: Category 4 Storm Track from February 2026

Mauritius was impacted by a Category 4 storm from February 18 to 20, 2026, with the storm center located near latitude -15.72 and longitude 74.86. The data is produced by the World Food Programme's Automated Disaster Analysis and Mapping (ADAM) system for humanitarian emergency response. The dataset was last updated on May 21, 2026.

Use Cases

• Mapping cyclone path and intensity based on the provided storm center coordinates and category.
• Analyzing potential disaster impacts for Mauritius based on the event timing and location.
• Integrating storm event data with other geospatial layers for vulnerability assessment as suggested by the ADAM system's purpose.

Strengths

• Specific storm center coordinates (latitude -15.72, longitude 74.86) are provided.
• Clear event timing (February 18-20, 2026) and intensity classification (Category 4).
• Data originates from WFP's operational ADAM system for disaster analysis.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• The dataset describes a single, specific event, limiting broader temporal analysis.
