Tropical Storm "IDAI 19" formed in the Mozambique Channel on March 9, 2019 as the 10th named storm of the 2018/19 Southwest Indian Ocean cyclone season. The cyclone is expected to reach Category 4 hurricane equivalent and make landfall over Mozambique coastlines Thursday, March 14. Tropical Cyclone IDAI is moving south-southwest over the northern Mozambique Channel, strengthening. As of 11 March its centre was located approximately 120 km north-west of Maintirano (Mahajanga Province, western Madagascar) with maximum sustained winds of 167 km/h. IDAI is now at such an intensity that she can have a high humanitarian impact as by GDACS assessment. This is based on the maximum sustained wind speed, exposed population and vulnerability. Based on data of the expected tropical cyclone path IDAI, wind speeds zones from Joint Research Centre (Issued on 12 March 2019 00:00 UTC), and population data from WorldPop 2015, UNITAR-UNOSAT conducted a population exposure analysis for Mozambique. About 6%, 3% and 10% of population of Mozambique living inside wind speed zone of 120 km/h, 90 km/h and 60 km/h accordingly. https://unitar.org/unosat/node/44/2866 http://www.gdacs.org/contentdata/maps/unosat/TC/1000552/UNOSAT_A3_TC20190312MOZ_Population_Exposure_Analysis_Cyclone_IDAI19_20190312_1.jpg guid_1 Tue, 12 Mar 2019 17:34:00 This map illustrates the satellite-detected surface waters along the Shire River, in the northern area of Nsanje District, in the Southern Regiont, Malawi, as observed from the Sentinel-2 imagery acquired on 12 March 2019.
