Tropical cyclone Freddy could become the longest-lasting tropical cyclone on record as it continues its 'dangerous journey' across Southeast African countries.
That path alone broke a record for"all-time accumulated cyclone energy , a measure of the storm's strength over time, for the Southern Hemisphere, as well as globally, since Cyclone Ioke in 2006," NOAA said. it was also the first tropical cyclone in that hemisphere to have four"separate rounds of rapid intensification."
"No other tropical cyclones observed in this part of the world have taken such a path across the Indian Ocean in the past two decades," NOAA said."In fact, it is one of only four systems that have crossed the southern Indian Ocean from east to west.", according to the United Nations, and has displaced"thousands more.
As of Tuesday's update, Freddy has started to leave Madagascar on a path back toward Mozambique, a journey in which the storm is only"expected to intensify," WMO said, and could potentially make another landfall as a tropical cyclone. Mozambique has already gotten more than 27.5 inches of rainfall this month, which according to WMO is above the annual average.
"Meteorologically, Freddy has been a remarkable storm," the WMO said on Tuesday."...This kind of super zonal track is very rare."
