#ExtremeWeather Update:
The JTWC @USNavy run portal for Global surveillance/tracking of dangerous cyclones - seems to be out of action, inaccessible via the web, again.
Just as a third tropical storm is making landfall on Madagascar in the space of a month. @USNRL @WMO

The Joint Typhoon Warning Center website is here >> metoc.navy.mil/jtwc/jtwc.html
It has been unreliable for several months normally it looks like the 2nd image here below (image src: cyclocane.com - which aggregates cylone/storm data)

Tropical Depression 96S (see previous tweet) is the storm that is currently forecast by most models to develop into a dangerous cyclone threatening Madagascar and possibly SE Africa.
The storm was removed from the watch list yesterday morning - then reinstated this afternoon.

Hi. Something seems to be up with the JTWC website and data feed. And without track data, it looks like the floaters are not actually floating on 96s and 97s. 93s appears to have been discontinued.

@VortixWx Not only is the JTWC website in accessible - and not just to me (I'm wondering if its a DDOS attack) but it now looks as if the automated data feeds may also be not working.
@VortixWx Hi @zoom_earth, I am trying to track down a possible data outages at JTWC. Previous thread tweet shows the site is not accessible (which is not unusual).
You have no track data for #Invest97s which appears to have developed quite a bit.

Madagascar #ExtremeWeather Thread:
Yet another Indian Ocean Tropical Storm, #Dumako is forecast to make landfall in Madagascar in the next 24 hours.
And at around the same time models suggest a more dangerous Tropical Cyclone may form following closely behind.
Yet another Indian Ocean Tropical Storm, #Dumako is forecast to make landfall in Madagascar in the next 24 hours.
And at around the same time models suggest a more dangerous Tropical Cyclone may form following closely behind.
#Dumako is a relatively minor storm and is forecast to weaken on its approach but as you can see here, simulations are pointing to a more dangerous storm following closely in Dumako's wake.
The new cyclone is modelled to form as #Invest93s & #Invest96s merge.
The new cyclone is modelled to form as #Invest93s & #Invest96s merge.
At this stage this formation event is just a possibility, but if it does take place landfall will follow fairly quickly afterwards, and at the moment its track over Madagascar looks very similar to that of #Batsirai which killed over 100 people and destroyed around 100,000 homes.
