Tropical storm has developed above coastal areas of southeastern Africa, where was slowly moving above ocean.
10-minute sustained winds on 19. February 2021 reached 155 km/h, an equivalent of Category 2 tropical cyclone on Saffir Simpson scale and minimum pressure in centre of cyclone 953 hPa.
Three-digit wind gusts bothered coasts of South Africa, Mozambique and Eswatini last week and caused regional floods and material damages.
Via Global Storms – On Feb. 19, Europe’s’s Meteosat-8 satellite was keeping an eye on Tropical Cyclone Guambe, which developed off the southeastern coast of Africa this week from a system that was pushed off the continent into the Mozambique Channel | https://t.co/81BKKBWclXpic.twitter.com/FJ82cZvaGb
In the Mozambique Channel, Tropical Cyclone #Guambe has winds of 75mph, gusting to 90mph, with a pressure of 988mbars. Movement is South-Southeast at 5mph. pic.twitter.com/A8T7R5c45T
No, this isn't correct. Although it is intensifying again, Guambe is moving *away* from Mozambique. No significant rain is expected from now on in Maputo or even Inhambane's region. Onland impacts of the cyclone are now vanishing. https://t.co/Z7h5CisAltpic.twitter.com/3hUMwUPoNZ
Due to major amounts of upwelling, #Guambe has failed to reach intense tropical cyclone status. It's barely a C1 (SSHS) but some baroclinic forcing could help it strengthen a tad bit before becoming an extratropical system as it moves towards the SE. #Tropicspic.twitter.com/rvsLhlhg3h
In the Southwest Indian Ocean, Tropical Cyclone #Guambe has winds of 75mph, gusting to 90mph, with a pressure of 988mbars. Movement is Southeast at 14mph. pic.twitter.com/UmWupAyvfW
Could these rains not be due to tropical storm Guambe? Is this not the new normal (cyclone season) that we have inherited given climate change? https://t.co/ldIyNM2Oe6
This as tropical storm Guambe is no longer expected to make landfall and is moving out into the Indian Ocean, where it will intensify into a cyclone. https://t.co/uJIOtSkkf2
It's cyclone season in Mozambique! A month after Cyclone #Eloise hit Mozambique, a new one named #Guambe is on its way

Woah! I’m really enjoying the template/theme of this blog. It’s simple, yet effective. A lot of times it’s difficult to get that “perfect balance” between user friendliness and visual appearance.
