History
Severe Tropical Cyclone Daryl–Agnielle was an early-season system that developed during the 1995–96 Australian region cyclone season. The storm was first identified several hundred kilometres west of Sumatra on 16 November 1995, initially tracking south-eastward before a mid-level ridge redirected it westward. As it neared the Cocos Islands late on 17 November, the islands experienced squally conditions and heavy rain, though no damage was recorded.
The system intensified steadily, reaching severe tropical cyclone status early on 19 November. It continued to strengthen as it tracked westward across the open southern Indian Ocean, attaining peak intensity with maximum sustained winds of around 185 km/h and a minimum central pressure near 915–925 hPa. On approximately 22 November, the cyclone crossed 90°E into the South-West Indian Ocean basin, at which point the Mauritius Meteorological Services assigned it a second name, Agnielle. The storm then encountered increasing wind shear and began to weaken, eventually dissipating as a weak low on 25 November well out to sea.
Daryl–Agnielle made no landfall on the Australian mainland and caused no reported casualties or structural damage. It was notable as the first storm of the 1995–96 season and one of the most intense systems in the Southern Hemisphere during that period.
