How strong is Tropical Cyclone Indusa?
Based on the latest listed intensity (65 kt), Indusa is at least a strong tropical storm and near/within tropical cyclone strength thresholds used by many basins. Wind impacts can extend well away from the center, and the most dangerous hazards are often:
- High seas and dangerous surf (even far from the core)
- Heavy rainfall that can cause flash flooding
- Gusty winds that can down trees and power lines
Where is Indusa located relative to land?
The provided fixes place Indusa in the south-central Indian Ocean (around 72°E), south of the equator. If you are in nearby island territories or shipping routes in the region, monitor official marine forecasts and warnings.
Is Indusa expected to make landfall?
This page only includes the track points supplied in the event record and does not include an official forecast cone. Landfall risk depends on future steering patterns and intensity changes. For authoritative forecasts and warnings, check your national meteorological service and regional tropical cyclone warning centers.
