In the Southern Hemisphere - Tropical cyclone 24s (Kenneth), located approximately 594 nm north of Europa Island, is tracking west-southwestward at 07 knots.

Mozambique - Cyclone Kenneth battered northern Mozambique with sustained winds of up to 220 kilometres per hour late on Thursday after killing three people on the island nation of Comoros overnight. The regional cyclone-monitoring centre on the French island of La Reunion said Kenneth made landfall at around 1430 GMT north of the port city of Pemba and was expected to weaken as it moved inland. The storm caused storm surges of up to five metres (16.4 feet) in some areas and rains associated with it are expected to cause serious flooding, the centre said.

Tropical cyclone (tc) 25s (Lorna), located approximately 918 nm east-southeast of Diego Garcia, is tracking east-southeastward at 04 knots.
