Tropical Storms
In the South Indian Ocean:
Tropical Cyclone Hellen made landfall Monday, bringing heavy rain to Madagascar, having weakened rapidly just before landfall after undergoing a period of equally rapid intensification over the weekend when Hellen was packing 10-minute average winds as high as 145 miles per hour – the equivalent of about 150 miles per hour, or a Category 4 hurricane.
Forecasters at La Reunion said Hellen is forecast to continue a right turn, taking it westward across the Mozambique Channel toward the mainland African nation of Mozambique without much restrengthening. The agency's Monday morning bulletin suggested Hellen could even dissipate over Madagascar without making it back over water.
