Cyclone Yemyin in 2007 had landfall near Kakinada. An analysis of the frequencies of cyclones on the East and West coasts of India during 1891-2000 show that nearly 308 cyclones (out of which 103 were severe) affected the East Coast. Marcia dissipated on 21 February. [5] There was initially moderate wind shear in the region, although an anticyclone was developing aloft,[6] which allowed the convection was able to persist over the center and gradually develop outflow. From 23 –25 February 2000 Cyclone Eline hit the eastern and southern parts of Zimbabwe. The cyclone showed rapid intensification and Severe Tropical Cyclone Paul reached Category 5 status during 15 April, and the lowest central pressure was estimated to have been about 920 hPa the following day. At 22:00 UTC that day, the agency estimated an initial peak of 140 km/h (85 mph). [12], Paul formed about 1000 km (620 mi) north of Karratha on 13 April 2000 and moved west, away from the West Australian coastline, thus never posing any threat to coastal communities. [2] During that day the low moved eastwards while weakening, before TCWC Brisbane issued the final bulletin on the low early the next day.[2]. It intensified into a strong Category 2, reaching its peak intensity, and made landfall to the west of Karratha. The high performance LU19HS sensor is integrated in the Cyclone-2-2000 camera. Norman quickly reached a peak intensity as a Category 4 cyclone on 2 March with a central pressure estimated at 920 hPa, while about 780 km (485 mi) to the west-northwest of Exmouth. The last system of the season formed on 20 May as a tropical low to the south of the Solomon Islands. Such wind systems, known as tropical cyclones, are much smaller in diameter. Please send any feedback to … Very few of these storm head for Gujarat. endobj Most tropical cyclones in the region are assigned names by the Australian Bureau of Meteorology. Tropical Cyclone Rainfall in 2000. Norman soon weakened over the following 2 days.

The Strand suffered wave damage with several boats destroyed. In 2000 Cyclone Eline, with speeds of up to 120km per hour, hit Zimbabwe with devastating effects. Tropical Storm Wene initially formed as Tropical Depression 16-W on 15 August 2000 and crossed into the Central Pacific Hurricane Center's (CPHC) Area of Responsibility (AOR) late that same day. It became stationary until it was last seen on the same day. Learn more about the impacts of individual cyclones and trends in cyclone activity in Australia over time [16] All names assigned in the Australian region are selected sequentially. Cyclone Mahasen (May 16, 2013): Cyclone Mahasen hit near Chittagong with a wind speed of 85 km per hour. By 8 February, the circulation was exposed from the rapidly dwindling thunderstorms. The list of United States hurricanes includes all tropical cyclones officially recorded to have produced sustained winds of greater than 74 mph (118 km/h) in the United States, which is the minimum threshold for hurricane intensity. All names assigned in the Australian region are selected sequentially. An hour prior, the Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC) initiated advisories on Tropical Cyclone 11S, while the storm was located about 215 km (130 mi) south-southeast of Christmas Island. { ���GjQ�q��#bϹ��=RK�����{��qEb � ������TeR�v4O�&������G2aJc���u��L�R9PG&zP6)O& [z�>���� ҨHH���e�ap��vxf�'l�DR��9Z{tL�5Y�M(��m�^W��5{j�%B}�:\�wM�'�0MS.P��$]R�dN��GN�i�Z�E+-��*�[l=CJ�0����w�/��^&V�*]Hj= Hundreds of thousands of people have been made homeless in Mozambique's worst flooding in 50 years.

The cyclone crossed the coast just to the west of Whim Creek between Port Hedland and Karratha on 8:30 am (WST) 15 December 1999. Most of the damage was caused by severe flooding which resulted with costs in excess of $100 million (AUD). The 2000 Atlantic hurricane season was an active season. Tropical cyclones are named if they are non-frontal low-pressure systems of synoptic scale developing over warm waters, or if Dvorak intensity analysis indicate the presence of gale forceor stronger winds near the centre. Most tropical cyclones in the region are assigned names by the Australian Bureau of Meteorology. Apart from producing heavy rainfall, Ilsa did not produce any significant damage.[1]. The 113-year-old Whim Creek Hotel suffered major damage with the top floor lost, and the town of Newman experienced some flooding (500 mm (20 in) of rain was recorded). At the time of coastal crossing, it was estimated to have a central pressure between 930 and 940 hPa. The World Meteorological Organization defines a tropical cyclone as “a non-frontal synoptic scale cyclone originating over tropical or subtropical waters with organized convection and definite cyclonic surface wind circulation”.1 More specifically, a storm in the south-east Indian Ocean is cyclonic when the sustained wind speed is more than 33 nautical miles per hour (> 62 km/h). Southwest Pacific Activity for January ----- January saw the formation of the first two South Pacific tropical cyclones of the 1999-2000 season. Therefore, tropical systems with gales in one or more quadrants, but not near the centre, are not named. It rapidly intensified into a Category 5 storm on 19 April while moving to the east-south-east. Olga intensified to Category 2 status with a central pressure of 980 hPa. No storms formed in Darwin region during the 1999–2000 season. It accelerated to the south-east towards Esperance and emerged over the Great Australian Bight where it became extratropical. [4] Early on 5 February, the PTCWC upgraded Leon to a Category 3 on the Australian scale, estimating 10 minute winds of 120 km/h (75 mph). The 1999–2000 Australian region cyclone season was a slightly above average tropical cyclone season.

On 28 January, Kirrily turned southwest, moving away from the coast, weakening to below cyclone strength by 31 January, while located approximately 900 km (560 mi) west of Carnarvon. In addition to Tropical Cyclones Iris and Jo, there were a couple of systems carried in warnings from Fiji as tropical depressions. The regional tropical cyclone operational plan also defines a "tropical cyclone year" separately from a "tropical cyclone season", with the "tropical cyclone year" for this season lasting from 1 July 1999 to 30 June 2000. High winds and flooding caused extensive structural damage at many stations in the Pilbara and mining operations were suspended at many sites. <> On 10 January, a tropical low developed to the northwest of Cairns. June: The probability of storm formation is more in the Arabian Sea than in the Bay of Bengal. [4] Around that time, Leon passed about 510 km (315 mi) south of the Cocos Islands,[7] while turning more to the west after the ridge strengthened to the south.

For example, the major eruptions in El Chichón in Mexico in 1982 and Pinatubo in the Philippines in 1991 caused the atmosphere of the northern hemisphere to cool, which shifted tropical cyclone activity southward for a few years. Keith, the strongest storm of the season, struck Belize as a Category 3, causing 40 direct deaths, and $319 Million 2000 USD in damage. [5] Associated convection was initially sparse, and over the subsequent few days the system tracked west-southwestward without much development,[4] moving around a large ridge over northwestern Australia. To this day, though, images from Fizer’s stellar 1999-2000 season remain vivid to the Cyclone faithful. Cyclones that form closer to the Equator (i.e., at latitudes 10° to 25° north and south over the oceans) differ somewhat in character from the extratropical variety. The cyclone originated from about 550 km east of the Andaman and Nicobar islands covering a diameter of 200 km. Perth issued the final warning for TC Paul on 20 April when the Category 1 cyclone was in the vicinity of latitude 14.7° south and longitude 94.3° east. As a result of the cyclone and preceding rainfall these areas received well above normal rainfall for the period. It meandered on the basin, before reentering the Australian basin on 2 May. However, Cyclone Steve was named by TCWC Brisbane before passing through the warning area of Darwin. [8] A trough passing to the south increased wind shear, causing the storm to weaken. * Supports Google Play Games Services for achievements, leaderboards and saved games * * Play in 3D on Google Cardboard VR or 3D TV * * Controller support * ** If you have problems or find bugs, please send me a mail instead of bad review!
