Storms and Floods

Tropical Storms

No current tropical storms.

Australia - Two tropical lows tracking toward north Queensland could form into cyclones and cross the mainland, forecasters say. The Bureau of Meteorology says there's a high chance a low pressure system between PNG and the Solomon Islands, about 1000km northeast of Cairns, will form into a cyclone in the Coral Sea on Saturday.

NewsBytes:

UK - The winter storms that battered the UK caused the greatest loss of trees since the Great Storm of 1987 in some areas. More than 50 sites were surveyed, with some losing hundreds of trees including valued ancient specimens.

South Africa - Four days of heavy rain has caused widespread flooding across eastern parts of South Africa. Roads, bridges, and camps in the Kruger National Park were also affected on Thursday by the flooding with most of the access routes closed to traffic.
