Very poor weather out here today, with a full gale blowing, gusting to 60 or 70 mph. The rain is lashing down, and many angry white riders out on the basin. The gusts cause a fair bit of spindrift, but not so much as in a full force 9.
The northern hemisphere hurricane season is winding down, whilst the season in the antipodes has produced its first system. This minor tropical storm (prosaically called One) is heading for Madagascar, as the first of many tropical cyclones this season. Last year, Madagascar was very harshly hit, particularly by cyclone Ivan.
Seems like I got home from Madagascar just in time! I saw some of the damage done by the last cyclone earlier this year. Our day in Brighton started dark and blowy, now it's sunny but still blustery. Stay warm! Jeannette xx
