Madagascar: Indlala (19S): Dissipated

[Chacor]

Weirdly enough the bulletin now calls this "Indlala" not "Indlada", even though the track map still says the latter. JTWC first advisory says "Indlala".

[Chacor]

Emailing Met-France, see if they give a definite answer.

Hey Chacor.

I think there was some confusion going on about the name but it's definitely INDLADA. Even mentioned on a previous satellite bulletin:

632
TPXS10 PGTW 120321 COR

A. TROPICAL CYCLONE 19S (INDLADA)

B. 12/0230Z

C. 13.6S/0

D. 57.7E/9

E. SIX/MET7

F. N/A

G. IR/EIR LLCC

38A/PBO SBC/ANMTN. COR FOR LINE A NAME SPELLING, AS WELL
AS LINE F INCORRECT TREND INFORMATION DUE TO TECHNICAL
DIFFICULTIES THAT CANNOT BE OVERRIDDEN. TREND
INFORMATION SHOULD BE AS FOLLOWS: T3.0/3.0/D1.0/24HRS
(11/2330Z).

[Chacor]

Tropical Cyclone Op Plan says "Indlala", though.

Definitely INDLADA - details on names for all basins can be found here:

That's the problem. Some are saying "Indlada", some are saying "Indlala", and some like MF and JTWC are calling it both. I suppose only a definitive answer from the RSMC will work.

[Typhoon Hunter]

Hopefully La Reunion will reply to your email when they get into the office. I bet the name is INDLADA

Looking really nice.

[P.K.]

It says Indlada on their page with the list of names. http://www.meteo.fr/temps/domtom/La_Reunion/TGPR/saison/Liste_NomsBapteme.html

It hasn't reached TC intensity yet by the way.

But it's a cyclone, right!!!!

Still waiting for a reply from MetFrance. Mauritius, which has naming responsibility, say "Indlala".

[P.K.]

Well good luck trying to call Tropical Storm Andrea when it forms later in the year Tropical Cyclone Andrea in the title on here then.

45kts, 987hPa now.

It may not be appropiate, but technically speaking I wouldn't be wrong.

[HURAKAN]

Development is fast as an eye appears to be forming.

[Chacor]

JTWC first advisory says "Indlala".

And their second advisory says "Indlada"...

[Chacor]

Still no reply from MetFrance. Considering emailing Swaziland themselves, since they contributed the name.

[HURAKAN]

Looking good!!!

Meteo-Framce: 50 knots.

[P.K.]

Name has been changed in the track forecast image to Indlala.

I need these agencies to keep one name and stick to it. The name lists say "Indlada" but I don't know why some of the agencies are calling it "Indlala."
