Tropical Cyclone Gezani


Estimated maximum wind speeds (averaged over 10 minutes) at sea: 155 km/h.

Estimated maximum gusts at sea: 220 km/h.

Estimated pressure at the center: 959 hPa.

Position on February 14 at 04:00 local time: 24.0 South / 35.9 East.

Distance from the coast of Réunion: 2015 km to the WEST-SOUTHWEST sector

Distance from Mayotte: 1580 km to the SOUTH-WEST sector

Movement: SOUTH-SOUTHWEST, at 17 km/h.

System information:

- Tropical cyclone GEZANI is developing over the Mozambique Channel, a little over 50 km from the coast of Mozambique and its intensity is at its maximum.

- It is currently located closest to the coast (Inhambane region) and is now heading south, following a coastal trajectory. The possibility of a landfall is now ruled out, but the strongest winds are just under 20km from the coast, near the city of Inhambane.

- Over the next 24 hours, GEZANI is expected to continue its wide turn towards the east while remaining at the stage of a tropical cyclone.

- The system is then expected to move further away from the coast in the southern Mozambique Channel over the weekend, but the forecast trajectory remains uncertain beyond Saturday the 14th. During this trajectory, however, it is expected to gradually weaken.
