      On the morning of January 19, 2023, Tropical Storm Cheneso made   
      landfall on the northeastern coast of Madagascar, just north of   
      Antalaha Town in Sava Region, carrying maximum sustained winds of about   
      66 mph (106 km/h). According to ReliefWeb, early assessments on January   
      19 reported 1 death and 1 missing person. An additional 2,224 people   
      were estimated to be impacted by the storm, including those evacuated   
      prior to the arrival of Cheneso.   
      
      Once on shore, the storm quickly began to weaken, but it also began to   
      slow forward motion, bringing sustained wind and heavy rain to the   
      region. The Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC issued its last advisory   
      on the system at 0900 UTC (12:00 noon local time) on January 19, when   
      winds had dropped to 51 mph (82 km/h). At that time, the center of   
      Cheneso was located 374 miles (600 km) north-northeast of Antananarivo,   
      Madagascar and was tracking westward. The tropical storm was expected   
      to dissipate quickly, with remnants tracking over land until at least   
      January 21.   
      
      The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on board   
      NASA’s Terra satellite acquired a true-color image on January 19, near   
      the time of landfall, when the large cloud-filled center of the storm   
      covered most of the northern tip of Madagascar. Large convective bands   
      were bringing rain to nearly half of country, as well as to the Comoros   
      Islands northwest of Madagascar.
