System Information: INTENSE TROPICAL CYCLONE VINCE
Maximum winds (averaged over 10 minutes) estimated at sea: 195 km/h.
Estimated maximum gusts at sea: 280 km/h.
Estimated central pressure: 936 hPa.
Position on February 8 at 4 p.m. local time: 20.4 South / 72.5 East.
Distance from the Reunion coast: 1725 km to the sector: EAST
Distance from Mayotte: 3020 km to the sector: EAST-SOUTH-EAST
Movement: WEST, at 15 km/h.
Key messages:
- VINCE remained an Intense Tropical Cyclone (ITC), despite some signs of weakening due to complex internal physical processes (ongoing eyewall replacement cycle). The eye of the cyclone is located less than 1000 km east of Rodrigues.
- Until Sunday, VINCE is expected to maintain a high intensity on a west to west-southwestward movement. On Sunday, while remaining more than 600 km east-southeast of Rodrigues, it is expected to make a turn towards the south while slowing down its course. It is then expected to continue to dive towards southern latitudes early next week while gradually weakening, before definitively losing its tropical characteristics in the middle of next week while crossing over cool waters.
- Even though VINCE is moving far from inhabited land, the cyclonic swell associated with the system is expected to generate dangerous seas around Rodrigues Island on Sunday. Residents are therefore advised to follow the evolution of the forecast through their national weather service.
