This line should be included as an alias for the "subtropical" category (i.e. placed right below the definition for "ss" near the bottom of the code):

cats["swsubstorm"] = cats["subtropical"]

In case it's necessary, the agency responsible for warning on tropical cyclones in the South-West Indian Ocean has begun using a new category for subtropical cyclones with maximum sustained wind speeds at or above 35 kt. This should be reflected here for use in an article (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2024-25_South-West_Indian_Ocean_cyclone_season), which includes a storm that has been recently designated with this category.
