There is a lot of cyclonic activity right now on the globe. (Attachments included.)
~A rare appearance of a cyclone in the South Atlantic, Cari, threatening southern Brazil. This system has already gone subtropical, and consequently is not showing on the maps. But its appearance was/is notable, as S. Atlantic storms are a rarity.
~In the Western Pacific, there is Tropical Storm Bavi, whose course is predicted to end on the E. Asian mainland.
~In the South Indian Ocean is Tropical Cyclone Olwyn. It is currently a Cat 1, but as it moves southward over the coast of West Australia it downgrades to Tropical Storm. People in Perth are experiencing it now.
~In the South Pacific, there is Tropical Cyclone Pam, threatening Fiji and surrounding islands. There has been controversy in the prediction of Pam's intensity. A couple of models concur that it's going to be a Category 5, and one said it has the potential to be the "strongest cyclone ever recorded."
~Also in the South Pacific Is Tropical Cyclone Nathan, who is currently passing eastward, north of Australia. Predicted to go to Cat 2.
