Storms and Floods

Tropical Storms

In the South Indian Ocean:

Tropical cyclone Guito is located approximately 850 nm south-southwest of Antananarivo, Madagascar.

Gales and locally heavy rain from the storm’s spiral bands brushed Madagascar and Mozambique as the eye of the Category 1 storm remained well offshore.

Guito was mainly a threat to fishing boats and shipping in the region.

NewsBytes:

Ireland - Extreme weather has left farmers and fishermen on brink of ruin. Relentless bad weather has caused thousands of hectares of farmland to remain submerged under flood waters while hundreds of trawlers and their fishing crews have been unable to fish for several weeks.
