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. At the same time, there are no suspicious formation areas that are being investigated either.

Tropical Cyclone Activity Report – Pacific / Indian Oceans

Post-tropical cyclone 01E (Alvin) is dissipating in the eastern Pacific Ocean…located approximately 790 miles southwest of Manzanillo, Mexico (Sustained winds of 35 knots, with gusts to near 45 knots) – Final Advisory

Post-Tropical cyclone 01E (Alvin) is now dissipating over the eastern Pacific, located about 790 miles south-southwest of Manzanillo, Mexico.  What’s left of Alvin is moving generally towards the west-northwest at near 13 mph. Maximum sustained winds were near 35 mph, with higher gusts to near 52 mph. This first tropical cyclone of the hurricane season, in the eastern Pacific, is falling apart, and has weakened into a trough of low pressure. The NHC will keep an eye on this remnant low pressure system, although it appears that persistent westerly wind shear aloft…will keep regeneration in check.

Meanwhile, with former tropical cyclone Mahasen now in the history books, the Joint Typhoon Warning Center is showing no suspect areas for formation into a tropical cyclones in the western Pacific, the north and south Indian Ocean…nor adjacent Seas.

PDC Global Flood Survey

Flooding in Bangladesh and Sri Lanka!

Flooding continues throughout the world. River flooding in North Dakota and the Middle Mississippi Valley is expected to continue through next week (NWS). Over the past week, PDC also monitored floods in Africa (Kenya, Uganda), Australia, Canada (Manitoba, Ontario, Quebec), Europe (England, France), India, Iraq, Sri Lanka, Trinidad and Tobago, United States (Hawaii, South Carolina, Virginia), and Tasmania.

To learn more about floods and other types of natural hazards, check out the PDC’s Natural Hazards webpage! Want to know what hazards are occurring around the world or near you? Then, don’t forget to download the free Disaster Alert mobile app available for your iOS or Android devices!

Below, we take a closer look at recent flooding caused by Tropical Cyclone Mahasen!

Recent Flooding Event: Sri Lanka

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

Heavy rains related to Tropical Cyclone Mahasen caused flooding and landslides in Sri Lanka. Over 3,000 people were displaced and seven dead (OCHA).  Evacuations occurred in the Gampaha and Colombo districts where 5,000 people were evacuated from their homes (ECHO).

The latest forecast for Sri Lanka shows a decrease in the amount of precipitation over the next few days (Weather Underground).

Recent Flooding Event: Bangladesh

In preparation for the arrival of Tropical Cyclone Mahasen, Bangladesh evacuated over 1 million people from coastal areas. Storm surge caused flooding in 5 different districts (Barguna, Bhola, Patuakhali, Nohakhali, and Laxmipur). (OCHA)

The latest forecast for Bangladesh shows little to no precipitation expected for the next few days (Weather Underground).

Looking Ahead

PDC is also currently monitoring flooding events in: Bangladesh, Canada, England, Kenya, Southern Somalia, Tasmania, Trinidad and Tobago, and the United States.

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

Tropical Cyclone Activity Report – Pacific / Indian Oceans

Tropical cyclone 01B (Mahasen) is dissipating inland over Bangladesh…located approximately 53 NM southeast of Dhaka, Bangladesh (Sustained winds of 45 knots, with gusts to near 55 knots) – Final Warning

Tropical cyclone 01E (Alvin) remains active in the eastern Pacific Ocean…located approximately 700 miles south-southwest of Manzanillo, Mexico (Sustained winds of 45 knots, with gusts to near 55 knots)

Tropical cyclone 01B (Mahasen) is dissipating over land in Bangladesh…located approximately 53 NM southeast of Dhaka, Bangladesh. This cyclone has tracked north-northeastward at a fast paced 22 knots (25 mph) over the past six hours. Satellite imagery shows that TC Mahasen has made landfall northwest of Chittagong, Bangladesh, in the delta area, and is rapidly dissipating…and becoming more and more disorganized.

Radar imagery from Kolkata, India, also shows rapid weakening, as convection has become very shallow. TC 01B is forecast to accelerate further into the mid-latitude westerly wind flow, and track across northeastern India. During this passage, this dissipating storm will encounter rough terrain, and increasingly high 30-40 knot (35-46 mph) vertical wind shear. Mahasen will dissipate below 35 knots in the next 12 hours, and as such…the Joint Typhoon Warning Center has issued its final warning on this system.

PDC Global Hazards Atlas displaying NHC forecast positions, segments, and winds, for tropical cyclone 01E (Alvin)…in the Eastern Pacific Ocean

Tropical cyclone 01E (Alvin) remains active over the warm waters of the eastern Pacific, located about 700 miles south-southwest of Manzanillo, Mexico, and moving generally towards the west-northwest at near 09 mph. Maximum sustained winds were near 50 mph, with higher gusts to near 63 mph. This first tropical cyclone of the hurricane season, in the eastern Pacific, may strengthen a little more, although is not now expected to reach the hurricane stage.

TC Alvin’s structure became degraded overnight, and thus the NHC forecast is keeping this TS from strengthening significantly. As opposed to yesterday’s analysis, the vertical wind shear aloft, over the heart of the storm, will be a limiting factor. The current track path keeps Alvin well offshore from the Mexican coast, and dissipation is expected within 120 hours. This storm will remain in the eastern Pacific, a very long distance from the central Pacific basin…and the Hawaiian Islands.
