Hurricane update - 16 January

Tropical cyclone Funa has formed 450 miles north of New Caledonia. This is a French dependency in the South Pacific, north of New Zealand. Funa is expected to strengthen and pass over Vanuatu on its way to Fiji. So far, the storm will be nothing more than a tropical storm, but it will carry strong winds (up to force 8 on the Beaufort scale) and gusts to 50 mph. More details on the Tropical Cyclones blog.
