Tropical Storms

In the South Indian Ocean:

Tropical cyclone Edilson is located approximately 219 nm northeast of Port Louis, Mauritius.

Tropical cyclone Edna is located approximately 89 nm west of Noumea, New Caledonia.

Cyclone Fletcher a fizzled but could reform off Queensland, Australia. The second cyclone in four days has crossed the Queensland coast - and again it's been a fizzer. Cyclone Fletcher made landfall as a category one storm between Karumba and the Gilbert River Mouth in the Gulf of Carpentaria about 7.30pm on Monday. Since downgraded to a tropical low, it is bringing rain to the gulf country, including some localised flooding in communities such as Kowanyama, north of Karumba. A cyclone warning remained current for coastal and island communities from the Northern Territory-Queensland border to the Gilbert River Mouth, and for Mornington Island. Fletcher is expected to head out over water again, where it could reform into a cyclone.
