On 11 November, the MFR noted that an elongated low-level circulation was developing despite being inside an environment with dry air and easterly shear, due to good divergence on the western side, steadily developing convection, and monsoonal flow.[1] Later that day, the JTWC began tracking the disturbance, noting that it was in an environment favorable for development southeast off Diego Garcia.[2]
Tropical storm (39–73 mph, 63–118 km/h)
Category 1 (74–95 mph, 119–153 km/h)

Extratropical cyclone, remnant low, tropical disturbance, or monsoon depressionFurther organziation occurred, and early on 12 November, the MFR designated the system as Zone of Disturbed Weather 03.[3] It was later upgraded to Moderate Tropical Storm Bheki on 14 November, and Severe Tropical Storm Bheki with hurricane-force winds on 15 November. Soon, on 16 November, it had strengthened a little more, and had reached cyclone status. Soon, it reached major hurricane equivalent winds, according to the Joint Typhoon Warning Center.
