Hurricane update - 27 March

The Pilbara coast in Western Australia appears to have dodged a silver bullet, with cyclone Kara weakening rapidly before making landfall.

The South Pacific island nation of Vanuatu on the contrary looks set for a hammer blow as cyclone Becky appears to make a full length pass of the island chain, north to south. Its associated winds will increase from 63 mph at the moment to 125 mph by the time Becky is done with the islands. Next port of call will be New Caledonia. Cannot find any reference to cyclone warnings for Vanuatu :-(

  1. Sorry Guido. I had no such luck either. Fiji states they have AOR over Vanuatu and do warnings/alerts. New Caledonia however have their own warning system that should be coming into action in the next 6 hours as the TC gets closer and stronger.
