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.

Tropical Cyclone Gezani
Estimated maximum wind speeds (averaged over 10 minutes) at sea: 120 km/h.
Estimated maximum gusts at sea: 165 km/h.
Estimated pressure at the center: 977 hPa.
Position on February 16 at 04:00 local time: 25.3 South / 41.4 East.
Distance from the coast of Réunion: 1485 km to the WEST-SOUTHWEST sector
Distance from Mayotte: 1430 km to the SOUTH-SOUTHWEST sector
Movement: NORTHEAST, at 17 km/h.
System information:
- After reviewing the latest satellite data, GEZANI has remained a tropical cyclone. It continues its journey across the southern Mozambique Channel and is now located approximately 250 km off the southwest coast of Madagascar.
- GEZANI is expected to move northeast and then east until Monday morning, weakening to a strong tropical storm. However, its intensity could fluctuate with temporary re-intensifications. For example, on Monday evening it could re-intensify for a few hours into a tropical cyclone as it passes closest to land, at a distance of 50 to 100 km from the Malagasy coast.
The system is then expected to move south and then south-southwest from Tuesday onwards, gradually weakening. It could eventually lose its tropical characteristics around Thursday as it moves over cooler waters.
