Invest 97S - NW of Diego Garcia

#1 Postby senorpepr » Tue May 06, 2008 8:12 pm

Just popped up on NRL. 3.4S 66.7E, 15kt / 1010mb

This is about 480mi NW of Diego Garcia or about 700mi SW of Malé, Maldives.

I have consumed adult beverages in Diego Garcia, B.I.O.T.



Nothing to do with tropical weather, but I have a local connection.

While a May tropical cyclone isn't unusual here (2002 had two SHem tropical cyclones from the same origin), I don't see this developing. It's way too close to the equator in my opinion, and it looks a little split up.

I fully concur. I'm not fully sure why it was "upgraded" to invest status.
