Hurricane update - 11 January

Not had a hurricane update post for more than two months, but we're now having the first tropical cyclone of 2011. It currently goes by the prosaic title of 05P, meaning it is in the Southwestern Pacific Ocean. The system is located in the archipelago of Vanuatu, where the southern provinces are on alert. 05P will move southwest and cross the Grand Ile of New Caledonia [Nouvelle Caledonie] on Thursday (Friday local time) at nearly hurricane force. I am posting updates on my Tropical Cyclones blog.
