Tropical Cyclone Activity Report – Pacific / Indian Oceans

There are no active tropical cyclones in the Pacific or Indian Oceans…or adjacent seas

Checking the Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC), and the National Hurricane Center (NHC), neither of these agencies are carrying active tropical cyclones for their areas of responsibility.  The picture above however, shows that the NHC is investigating an area of disturbed weather that has a medium 30% chance of developing, called invest 91E.  The various computer forecast models show where this area of low pressure could migrate with time…if it were to continue to develop further.

This area of low pressure was located near 10N and 106W, southwest of Acapulco, Mexico. It was moving in a west-northwest direction, at near 10 knots (12 mph). This tropical disturbance was producing disorganized showers and thunderstorms. Satellite imagery shows that this convection has diminished to the east and southeast of the low level center. Scattered moderate to isolated heavy convection is noted with 120 NM southwest of the low level center. This low is under upper level ridging, and over a warm sea surface…which may allow a gradual intensification over the next 48 hours.

This is a NOAA graphical map that shows this area, the only one in any tropical ocean that is currently under investigation.  This is a two day looping satellite image of this area offshore from southern Mexico.  This next satellite image, shows the close-up looping of the thunderstorms in the area of invest 91E.

>A SURFACE TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE CONTINUES TO PRODUCE DISORGANIZED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ABOUT 550 MILES SOUTH-SOUTHWEST OF ACAPULCO MEXICO. HOWEVER…SOME GRADUAL DEVELOPMENT IS STILL POSSIBLE OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS AS THE DISTURBANCE MOVES WESTWARD AT ABOUT 10 MPH. THIS SYSTEM HAS A MEDIUM CHANCE…30 PERCENT…OF BECOMING A TROPICAL CYCLONE DURING THE NEXT 48 HOURS.

TROPICAL CYCLONE FORMATION IS NOT EXPECTED DURING THE NEXT 48 HOURS.

Below let’s take a closer look at the recent flooding events in Somalia and Colombia.

Precipitation & Flooding: Somalia

PDC Global Hazards Atlas centered on Somalia displaying PDC Integrated Active Hazards and accumulated rainfall for the past 7 days.

The Juba and Shabelle rivers in Somalia have experienced an increase in water level due to heavy seasonal rains.  Around 50,000 people have been displaced due to flash floods, and an estimated 6,397 hectares of crops have been reported damaged.  Humanitarian support efforts include rebuilding river banks, pumping flood water away from affected areas, and water  purification. (ECHO Daily Flash)

The latest forecast for Somalia shows areas with little to no chance of precipitation in the coming week. (Weather Underground)

Precipitation & Flooding: Colombia

Heavy rain from May 15th to May 20th caused flooding and landslides in the department of Antioquia, located in north-western Colombia. Around 870 people were affected and 176 homes were damaged (ECHO Daily Flash). Some precipitation is expected to continue for the rest of the week (Weather Underground).

Looking Ahead

PDC is also currently monitoring flooding events in: Norway and the United States (North Dakota and Middle Mississippi Valley).

PDC will continue to monitor areas of high precipitation and keep a close eye on flooding across the globe.
