Tropical Cyclone Activity Report – Pacific / Indian Oceans

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

South Indian Ocean

There’s an area in the South Indian Ocean, circled in orange above, that will require watching, as it may develop into a significant tropical cyclone. This area, that’s being covered by the Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC), is located approximately 870 NM east-northeast of Diego Garcia. Satellite imagery shows an elongated, consolidating low level circulation center, with convective banding features. Additionally, satellite pictures depict an improved, defined circulation, with weak core winds around 20-25 knots (23-29 mph).

Meanwhile, upper level analysis reveals a marginal environment, with moderate to strong 20-30 knot (23-35 mph) northerly wind shear. Nonetheless, the computer weather models continue to show development of this system over the next two days. Minimum sea level pressure is estimated to be near 1004 millibars (~29.6 inches of mercury). The JTWC is giving the potential for the development of this tropical disturbance, within 24 hours, to be upgraded to medium…from a low chance yesterday.
