Hurricane update - 30 July

The Southern Hemisphere is in deepest winter, yet the Indian Ocean briefly spawned a tropical cyclone. It is now dissipating, as the atmospheric conditions are unfavourable.

Across the equator, typhoon Usagi (Japanese for Rabbit) is barrelling northwest towards Japan. There is considerable uncertainty where the system will make landfall - anywhere between Kyoto and Sasebo (western Japan), probably on August 2nd. The Atlantic is trying to cough something up near Bermuda, but it looks rather half-hearted.
