      Update: 5th of March, 11:00 p.m. UTC

      Cyclone Niran is currently closing in on New Caledonia, moving very fast at 46km/hr towards the island.

      Maximum winds are 240 km/h and the cyclone is expected to bring damaging winds, coastal inundation, heavy rainfall and dangerous seas to the region.

      Update: 5th of March, 9:00 a.m. UTC

      Cyclone Niran is currently the strongest storm in the Australian basin for 2021. It is continuing its intensification with maximum sustainable winds of 212 km/h (115 kt). The storm should be peaking in approximately 6-12 hours.

      Niran's main target is the island of New Caledonia, which could take a direct hit as the cyclone moves closer on Saturday morning hours.
