I'm not sure...don't they tend to occur more near the beginning and end of the season? That is the impression I have from my limited knowledge of subtropical cyclones. I remember Luma in March (I believe) 2003 and Joel in June 2010.

You may be aware of this, but it is early for any named storm in this basin and the Southern Hemisphere as a whole. In the time I have been following Southwest Indian cyclones (since the 1999-2000 season), I cannot recall a "B" name having been used before November. They are tearing up the naming list for the 2016-17 season so far...FYI the next storm will be named
"Carlos". I suppose I don't find "Bransby" to be that silly of a name, but if it had been named "Barney" instead I may have laughed.

I don't know if this is just Dvorak handling this storm badly, but it's already been classified at a T4.0..?

According to my statistics, the last time there were two named storms before November was in 1992-93. MTS Aviona and MTS Babie formed in September and October, respectively.

On the topic of subtropical cyclone occurances... I'd bet they're relatively coincident with tropical formation, though maybe a bit of a bias to the beginning and end of the season.

These are the subtropical cyclones since I started tracking storms in the Southwest Indian (2009-10):

October - Bransby
November -
December - 03 (2011-12)
January - 10 (2009-10), Dando (2011-12)
February - 13 (2013-14)
March -
April - 09 (2010-11)
May - Joel (2009-10)

So really, any time of the season, though it seems they happen near peak quite often.

I have a suspicion that it might be stronger than 35 kts, maybe 45 kts or so, but T4.0 might be a little much. I have no real evidence though.

Cool little system. It's rare to see storms with extratropical origins like this outside the north Atlantic, at least to my knowledge.

2.B LONGER-RANGE OUTLOOK :
2.C ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
BRANSBY HAS REACHED ITS PEAK OF ORGANIZATION BETWEEN 05Z AND 07Z.
SINCE, CLOUD PATTERN HAS DETERIORATED GRADUALLY. CONVECTION HAS
WEAKENED AND APPEARS NOW FRAGMENTED. WITHIN THE SEMI-CIRCLE, A
CONVECTIVE BANDING RESISTS BENEFITING FROM A BETTER UPPER LEVEL
DIVERGENCE.
THE ARRIVAL OF STRONG JET STREAK ALONG 30/35S BEGINS OF SHIFT EASTWARD
THE CUT-OFF CELL IN WHICH BRANSBY HAS DEVELOPED AND WHERE THE
VERTICAL WINDSHEAR IS WEAK. THIS NIGHT, THE STRONG VERTICAL WIND SHEAR
ASSOCIATED TO THE AFOREMENTIONED JET STREACK SHOULD WEAKEN RAPIDLY
THE SYSTEM WHICH EVOLVES NOW OVER COLD SST ABOUT 18°C
AS ANTICIPATED, BRANSBY IS CURRENTLY ACCELERATING NOW SOUTHEASTWARDS
AND SHOULD STAY ON THIS TRACK UNTIL FILL UP WITHIN THE MIDLATITUDES
WESTERLIES. THIS TRACK FORECAST IS SHARED BY ALL THE
AVAILABLE GUIDANCE WITH A WEAK SPREAD.
