<blockquote>
<p dir="auto">NASA-NOAA’s Suomi NPP satellite found that Tropical Cyclone Ferdinand has developed an eye as it continued to strengthen in the Southern Indian Ocean on Feb. 25, 2020.</p>
</blockquote>
<p dir="auto">On Feb. 25 at 10 a.m. EST (1500 UTC), the Joint Typhoon Warning Center of JTWC noted that Tropical cyclone Ferdinand was located near 15.8 degrees south latitude and 116.5 degrees east longitude, approximately, 413 nautical miles north-northeast of Learmonth, Western Australia.</p>
<p dir="auto">Ferdinand was moving to the southwest and <a href="https://www.windy.com/articles/weather-phenomena-what-s-the-difference-between-sustained-winds-and-wind-gusts-10390" rel="nofollow ugc">maximum sustained winds</a> had increased to 90 knots (104 mph/167 kph). That is the equivalent of a Category 2 hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson hurricane wind scale.</p>
<p dir="auto">JTWC forecasts that Ferdinand will move southwest and strengthen slightly more before starting to weaken. The storm is then expected to curve to the northwest through the Southern Indian Ocean.</p>
<p dir="auto"><a href="https://www.windy.com/articles/what-is-a-tropical-cyclone-8581" rel="nofollow ugc">Tropical cyclones</a> are the most powerful weather event on Earth.

NASA’s Terra satellite passed over the Southern Pacific Ocean and provided forecasters with a visible image of Tropical Depression 18P.</p>
<p dir="auto"><img src="https://gallery.windy.com/albums/a/Tropical-Cyclone-18p-american-samoa.jpg" alt="photo:NASA Worldview;desc:Terra image of 18P" class=" img-fluid img-markdown" /></p>
<p dir="auto">On Feb. 21, 2020, the MODIS instrument that flies aboard NASA’s Terra satellite provided a visible image of newly developed Tropical Depression 18P in the Southern Pacific Ocean.</p>
<p dir="auto">On Feb.21, the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer or MODIS instrument that flies aboard NASA’s Terra satellite provided a visible image of 18P that showed an improved cyclonic circulation along the southern end of a line of deep convection and thunderstorms that extends north-to-south.</p>
<p dir="auto">At 10 a.m. EST (1500 UTC) on Feb. 21, the Joint Typhoon Warning Center said <strong>Tropical Cyclone 18P</strong> had maximum <a href="https://www.windy.com/articles/weather-phenomena-what-s-the-difference-between-sustained-winds-and-wind-gusts-10390" rel="nofollow ugc">sustained winds</a> near 30 knots (34.5 mph/55.5 kph). It was located near latitude 12.9 degrees south and longitude 174.8 degrees west, about 280 nautical miles west-northwest of Pago Pago, American Samoa. 18P is moving to the east-southeast.</p>
<p dir="auto">The <a href="https://www.windy.com/articles/what-is-a-tropical-cyclone-8581" rel="nofollow ugc">tropical cyclone</a> is forecast to intensify to a tropical storm reaching maximum sustained winds to 45 knots as it passes near American Samoa on Feb. 22. In three days, vertical wind shear is expected to kick in which will cause the storm to dissipate quickly.</p>
<p dir="auto">In addition to Tropical Cyclone 18P, <a href="https://www.windy.com/articles/rainfall-rates-in-two-american-samoa-tropical-cyclones-18p-and-tropical-storm-vicky-11375" rel="nofollow ugc">Tropical Storm Vicky</a> has developed to the southeast of American Samoa. Together, these systems have generated several warnings and watches. On Feb. 21, the National Weather Service (NWS) in Pago Pago has continued the Flash Flood Watch for all of American Samoa through Saturday, Feb. 22.</p>
<p dir="auto">The NWS forecast page stated, <em>“The active monsoon trough remains across the area with several hybrid lows developing northwest and moving swiftly across the islands through the week. A flash flood watch means that conditions may develop that lead to flash flooding. Flash flooding is a very dangerous situation.”</em></p>
<p dir="auto">NASA’s Terra satellite is one in a fleet of NASA satellites that provide data for hurricane research.</p>

The Global Precipitation Measurement mission or GPM satellite provided a look at the rainfall rates occurring in both storms.</p>
<p dir="auto"><img src="https://gallery.windy.com/albums/a/Tropical-Storm-VICKY-Tropical-Cyclone-18p-american-samoa.jpg" alt="photo:NASA/NRL;desc:GPM image of Vicky" class=" img-fluid img-markdown" /></p>
<p dir="auto">The GPM’s core satellite passed over the South Pacific Ocean on Feb. 20 at 10:20 p.m. EDT (0220 UTC, Feb. 21). GPM found heaviest rainfall (orange) occurring in both Tropical Cyclone 18P and Tropical Storm Vicky, falling at rates of 1 inch (25 mm) per hour. Light rain appears around those heavier rainfall areas and throughout the rest of the tropical cyclones (light blue), falling at less than 0.2 inches (less than 5 millimeters) per hour.</p>
<p dir="auto">Vicky is located to the southeast of American Samoa and 18P is located to the northwest. American Samoa is a U.S. territory covering seven islands and atolls. The capital city of Pago Pago is located on Tutuila, the largest island.</p>
<p dir="auto">The National Weather Service (NWS) in Pago Pago issued a Tropical Storm Warning on Feb. 21 for American Samoa, and coastal waters out to 40 nautical miles including National Marine Sanctuary of American Samoa.</p>
<p dir="auto">In addition, a High Surf Warning remains in effect that states, “Hazardous surfs of at least 20 feet, with locally higher sets, will impact coastal waters, especially west through south facing shores of all islands due to the intensification of Tropical Storm Vicky south of the islands.” A Flash Flood Watch is also in effect for all of American Samoa.</p>
<p dir="auto">The GPM’s core satellite passed over the South Pacific Ocean on Feb. 20 at 10:20 p.m. EDT (0220 UTC, Feb. 21). GPM found heaviest rainfall occurring in both Tropical Cyclone 18P and Tropical Storm Vicky, falling at rates of 1 inch (25 mm) per hour. Light rain appeared around those areas and throughout the rest of the tropical cyclones, falling at less than 0.2 inches (less than 5 millimeters) per hour.</p>
<p dir="auto">On Feb. 21 at 4 a.m. EST (0900 UTC), Vicky was located near latitude 15.7 degrees south and longitude 170.7 degrees west, about 84 nautical miles south of Pago Pago, American Samoa. Vicky was moving to the south and had maximum <a href="https://www.windy.com/articles/weather-phenomena-what-s-the-difference-between-sustained-winds-and-wind-gusts-10390" rel="nofollow ugc">sustained winds</a> 40 knots (46 mph/74 kph).</p>
<p dir="auto">Vicky is gradually weakening and the Joint Typhoon Warning Center expects it to weaken below tropical cyclone strength before passing near Niue within 24 hours.</p>

<p dir="auto">In general, wind shear is a measure of how the speed and direction of winds change with altitude. <a href="https://www.windy.com/articles/what-is-a-tropical-cyclone-8581" rel="nofollow ugc">Tropical cyclones</a> are like rotating cylinders of <a href="https://www.windy.com/articles/weather-phenomena-what-s-the-difference-between-sustained-winds-and-wind-gusts-10390" rel="nofollow ugc">winds</a>. Each level needs to be stacked on top each other vertically in order for the storm to maintain strength or intensify. Wind shear occurs when winds at different levels of the atmosphere push against the rotating cylinder of winds, weakening the rotation by pushing it apart at different levels.</p>
<p dir="auto">When NASA’s Aqua satellite passed over the Southern Indian Ocean, it provided forecasters with a visible image of the tropical depression. On Feb. 18 at 3:30 a.m. EST (830 UTC), the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer or MODIS instrument that flies aboard NASA’s Aqua satellite showed wispy clouds circled around Gabekile’s low-level center and the bulk of clouds and storms were pushed more than 100 nautical miles southeast of the center.</p>
<p dir="auto">At 10 a.m. EST (1500 UTC), the Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC) issued the final bulletin on Gabekile. <a href="https://www.windy.com/articles/what-is-a-tropical-cyclone-8581" rel="nofollow ugc">Tropical cyclone</a> Gabekile had <a href="https://www.windy.com/articles/weather-phenomena-what-s-the-difference-between-sustained-winds-and-wind-gusts-10390" rel="nofollow ugc">maximum sustained winds</a> near 30 knots (34.5 mph/55.5 kph), making it a tropical depression. Gabekile was located near latitude 21.0 degrees south and longitude 75.5 degrees east, about 852 nautical miles south of Diego Garcia. Gabekile was moving to the south-southwest and dissipating.</p>

<p dir="auto">On Feb. 13 at 2218 UTC (5:18 p.m. EST), the New Zealand Met Service (NZMS) reported “Ex-Tropical Cyclone Uesi was located near Lord Howe Island this morning, and is moving southwest. The system is expected to gradually recurve towards the southeast and move close to the lower South Island during Sunday [Feb.16].”</p>
<p dir="auto">On Feb. 14, NZMS noted a Heavy Rain Warning is currently in effect for Westland south of Otira. A Heavy Rain Watch is in effect for the remainder of the South Island West Coast and Stewart Island.</p>
<p dir="auto">NZMS said “A heavy rain warning is in effect for the South Island West Coast and Stewart Island on Sunday [Feb.16] and early Monday [Feb. 17].

Since then, Francisco’s remnants moved into an area of warm waters and low wind shear allowing the low-pressure area to re-organize, consolidate and re-form. NASA’s Aqua satellite provided forecasters with a visible image of the zombie storm.</p>
<p dir="auto"><img src="https://gallery.windy.com/albums/a/Tropical-Cyclone-Francisco.jpg" alt="photo:NASA/NRL;desc:Aqua image of Francisco" class=" img-fluid img-markdown" /></p>
<p dir="auto">On Feb. 14, the MODIS instrument that flies aboard NASA’s Aqua satellite provided a visible image of re-formed Tropical Cyclone Francisco heading for landfall in east-central Madagascar.</p>
<p dir="auto">On Feb. 14, the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer or MODIS instrument that flies aboard NASA’s Aqua satellite provided a visible image that showed the storm had re-developed a rounded shape with bands of thunderstorms spiraling into the low-level center. A more rounded shape of a tropical cyclone indicates it is becoming a more organized storm.</p>
<p dir="auto">Satellite imagery shows a compact system with strong thunderstorms persisting over the low-level circulation. In addition, satellite microwave imagery indicates deep convective banding of thunderstorms over the western semicircle wrapping into the north and east quadrants of a defined low-level circulation center.</p>
<p dir="auto">On Feb. 14 at 4 a.m. EST (0900 UTC), the Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC) noted that Francisco’s <a href="https://www.windy.com/articles/weather-phenomena-what-s-the-difference-between-sustained-winds-and-wind-gusts-10390" rel="nofollow ugc">maximum sustained winds</a> powered back up to 40 knots (46 mph/74 kph). Francisco re-formed near latitude 19.0 degrees south and longitude 49.3 east, approximately 114 nautical miles east of Antananarivo, Madagascar. Francisco has tracked southwestward.</p>
<p dir="auto">Meteo Madagascar issued a Red Vigilance Advisory for heavy rain over central and eastern Madagascar that includes Toamasina, Brickaville, Mahanoro, and the Vatomandry Districts.</p>
<p dir="auto">The JTWC forecast said the system is expected to make landfall later today over the southeast coast of Atsinanana Region, close to Vatomandry City. That is far to the south of the coastal city of Toamasina. Francisco is expected to weaken steadily as it tracks inland and dissipate sometime on Feb. 15 over land.</p>

<p dir="auto">On Feb. 13 at 0315 UTC (Feb. 12 at 10:15 p.m. EST), the MODIS instrument that flies aboard NASA’s Aqua satellite provided a visible image of Tropical Cyclone Uesi being adversely affected by vertical wind shear.</p>
<p dir="auto">On Feb. 13 at 0315 UTC (Feb. 12 at 10:15 p.m. EST), the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer or MODIS instrument that flies aboard NASA’s Aqua satellite provided a visible image of Tropical Cyclone Uesi being adversely affected by vertical wind shear. The image showed that the bulk of clouds were being pushed to the southeast of the center of circulation.</p>
<p dir="auto">In general, wind shear is a measure of how the speed and direction of winds change with altitude. Tropical cyclones are like rotating cylinders of winds. Each level needs to be stacked on top each other vertically in order for the storm to maintain strength or intensify. Wind shear occurs when winds at different levels of the atmosphere push against the rotating cylinder of winds, weakening the rotation by pushing it apart at different levels. Northwesterly wind shear was affecting Uesi and pushing the bulk of clouds to the southeast of the center.</p>
<p dir="auto">At 0300 UTC on Feb. 13 (10 p.m. EST on Feb. 12), the Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC) issued the final bulletin on Tropical cyclone Uesi. At that time, Uesi was located near latitude 27.7 degrees south and longitude 161.1 degrees east, about 332 nautical miles southwest of Noumea, New Caledonia. Uesi had maximum sustained winds near 55 knots (63 mph/102 kph). The storm was moving to the south-southwest.</p>
<p dir="auto">On Feb. 13 at 11:59 pm AEDT (Australia Eastern Time) or 7:59 a.m. EST, the Australian Bureau of Meteorology (ABM) noted “Ex-tropical cyclone Uesi is moving rapidly southwards and will produce destructive <a href="https://www.windy.com/articles/weather-phenomena-what-s-the-difference-between-sustained-winds-and-wind-gusts-10390" rel="nofollow ugc">wind gusts</a> at Lord Howe Island over the next few hours.”  ABM said that the system is expected to maintain an intensity equivalent to a category 2 tropical cyclone as it passes the island.

<p dir="auto">The GPM’s core satellite passed over Uesi on Feb. 12 at 12:11 p.m. EST (1711 UTC). GPM found heaviest rainfall (pink) southwest of the center, falling at a rate of 1.6 inches (40 mm) per hour. Orange areas indicate rainfall rates of 1 inch (25 mm) per hour and scattered light rain appears in light blue from the fringe clouds falling at less than 0.2 inches (less than 5 millimeters) per hour. The GPM rainfall was overlaid on imagery from Japan’s Himawari-8 satellite.</p>
<p dir="auto">Uesi is in the South Pacific Ocean and has been affecting New Caledonia. New Caledonia is a collectivity of France, located south of Vanuatu and about 1,210 km (750 miles) east of Australia.</p>
<p dir="auto">The GPM’s core satellite passed over Uesi on Feb. 12 at 12:11 p.m. EST (1711 UTC). GPM found heaviest rainfall southwest of the center, falling at a rate of 1.6 inches (40 mm) per hour. Directly south of the center were areas where rainfall rates were falling at a rate of 1 inch (25 mm) per hour. Scattered light rain, falling at less than 0.2 inches (less than 5 millimeters) per hour appeared to be occurring in the rest of the storm.</p>
<p dir="auto">On Feb 12 at 1 a.m. EST (5 p.m. New Caledonia local time), Meteo-France, which forecasts for New Caledonia, noted that Uesi’s <a href="https://www.windy.com/articles/weather-phenomena-what-s-the-difference-between-sustained-winds-and-wind-gusts-10390" rel="nofollow ugc">maximum sustained winds</a> were near 110 kph (68 mph/59 knots). Uesi was moving to the southwest. It was centered near latitude 23.5 degrees south and longitude 162.8 degrees east, about 450 km (280 miles) west-southwest of Noumea.</p>
<p dir="auto">Meteo-France noted, “The rains eased in the afternoon, except over the Canala region where the showers are still continuing this evening. In the past 12 hours, we have noted 80 to 130 mm (3.1 to 5.1 inches) in the relief of the South and 80 mm (3.1 inches) in 3 hours in the town of Canala. The <a href="https://www.windy.com/articles/weather-phenomena-what-s-the-difference-between-sustained-winds-and-wind-gusts-10390" rel="nofollow ugc">wind</a> remains strong with <a href="https://www.windy.com/articles/weather-phenomena-what-s-the-difference-between-sustained-winds-and-wind-gusts-10390" rel="nofollow ugc">gusts</a> up to 90 kph (60 mph/49 knots) on the chain, on the West Coast and the South.

<p dir="auto">NASA-NOAA’s Suomi NPP satellite captured an image of Tropical Storm Blake covering a good portion of Western Australia on January 8, 2020 although its center is just inland from the Kimberley coast. The red spots at the southern extent of the state indicate wildfires. The brown stream extending over the Southern Indian Ocean and into the Great Australian Bight is the smoke generated from the fires.</p>

<p dir="auto">On January 8, 2020, the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) instrument aboard Suomi NPP provided a visible image of Blake that showed its center was just inland from the Kimberley coast. Bands of thunderstorms stretched far south all the way to the southern coast, where fires are raging. In the VIIRS image, red spots at the southern extent of the state indicate the heat signature of wildfires burning. A brown stream extending over the Southern Indian Ocean and into the Great Australian Bight is the smoke generated from the fires.</p>
<p dir="auto">At 10 p.m. EST on January 7 (0300 UTC on January 8) the Joint Typhoon Warning Center or JTWC in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii issued their final warning on the system. At that time, Blake was centered near latitude 20.7 degrees south and longitude 119.7 degrees east, about 66 nautical miles east-southeast of Port Hedland, Australia. Blake was moving to the southwest and had <a href="https://www.windy.com/articles/weather-phenomena-what-s-the-difference-between-sustained-winds-and-wind-gusts-10390" rel="nofollow ugc">maximum sustained winds</a> near 35 knots (40 mph).</p>
<p dir="auto">By January 8 at 10 a.m. EST, <a href="http://www.bom.gov.au/products/IDR483.loop.shtml" rel="nofollow ugc">radar from the Australian Bureau of Meteorology’s station in Kalgoorlie</a> showed some showers in the area.</p>
<p dir="auto">According to the <a href="https://www.emergency.wa.gov.au/#map/incident/1958396" rel="nofollow ugc">website Emergency WA (Western Australia)</a> there were fires burning south of Kalgoorlie in the Dundas Nature Reserve on January 7 at 11 p.m. EST. That fire is affecting Salmon Gums including the southern part of the Dundas Nature Reserve, Norseman, Higginsville, Widgiemooltha, Londonderry, Burra Rock, Victoria Rock and North Cascade in the Shires of Coolgardie, Dundas, Esperance and Widgiemooltha.</p>
<p dir="auto">Blake is dissipating inland over the northwestern part of Western Australia, but generating rain that extends to the south.</p>
