Ana started forming January 20 in the southwest Indian Ocean and made landfall over Madagascar two days later after intensifying over the ocean. It then warmed over the Madagascar Channel, the body of water between the island nation and the coast of Mozambique. The storm made landfall in Mozambique on January 24 and scraped across the southwest tip of Malawi as it continued its journey westward.
