Tropical Cyclone "Chedza" forms in Mozambique Channel

Tropical Cyclone "Chedza" is forming from System 93S in the Mozambique Channel today.

Latest forecast warning, issued by RSMC La Reunion at 06:00 UTC today (January 16), said the first visible and microwave imageries of this morning indicate that the low center is located more to the west that previously estimated at 00:00 UTC today. Recent improvement of the cloud pattern suggest that the wind structure is evolving towards a more typical tropical cyclone pattern.

Under the steering influence of the mid-levels near-equatorial ridge in its north, system is globally tracking southeastwards.

Chedza is located in a low sheared area and a good upper-level outflow (especially polerward) with a high oceanic heat contents.
