Cook achieved category 3 status with 10-minute sustained winds of 84 kt (43 m s−1) and a minimum central pressure of 961 hPa. Tropical Cyclone Donna formed to the north of Vanuatu on 1 May, which is just past the traditional end of the season (30 April). It achieved named storm status on 3 May, and late on 4 May it began to show a clear eye and was upgraded to a category 3 tropical cyclone. On 6 May, Donna was upgraded to category 4 status. It weakened to a category 3 storm later on 6 May but then strengthened again to category 4 status the next day before being upgraded to category 5 status on 8 May.

On the same day, the Multi Spectral Imager (MSI) on the European Space Agency’s Sentinel-2 satellite captured the data for a false-color image of the burn scar. Active fires appear orange; the burn scar is brown. Unburned vegetation is green; developed areas are gray.
