'Intense' Cyclone Batsirai set to hit Madagascar
04 February 2022
Dr Liz Stephens, climate research and resilience researcher at the 澳门六合彩开奖记录, said:
"Tropical Cyclone Batsirai is a far more intense storm than Tropical Storm Ana, which itself led to enormous impacts across Madagascar, Mozambique and Malawi in late January.
"Intense winds and waves will cause damage as the storm makes landfall along the central part of the east coast of Madagascar, and widespread flooding is expected in parts of Southern Madagascar, including those that have been suffering from recent drought.
"The 澳门六合彩开奖记录, in partnership with the University of Bristol, ECMWF and HRWallingford have been tasked by FCDO with producing flood risk bulletins to support humanitarian efforts on the ground."
