Hurricane update - 28 January

Three tropical cyclones on the go, although one is collapsing in Madagascar. The two others are:

Cyclone Gula is heading straight for Mauritius and La Reunion. Local information is scant, but they should anticipate the storm to come barrelling through on January 31st. This date lies as yet outside the normal forecast range, but it could be a category 2 or even 3 hurricane. My tropical cyclone blog has attracted 250 visitors today, mostly from Mauritius.

Cyclone Gene, a tropical storm with winds of 55 knots, will pass through Fiji during the next 12 hours. It is headed for Vanuatu and New Caledonia, but will not intensify much.
