The first low pressure system of the 2014-2015 cyclonic season was baptised on Sunday night by meteorological services of the Mauritian station of Vacoas.

The moderate tropical storm Adjali was situated at 4 local time this Monday, November 17, 2014 by the points 9.1 South and 66.7 East and was moving to the south-southeast at a speed of 7 km / h.

The moderate tropical storm Adjali (993 hPa at the center of the system) thus evolved at some 1770 km of Reunion and 1554 km of Mauritius.

here is a good website that is updated daily that you can go to and follow cyclones and tropical storms in the making.[http://www.meteo-reunion.com/]

Click on the red lettered cyclone or the name of the system.

You can view the chart that will project the path of the storm over the next 5 days.
Then click on the name of the storm system, and/or you can scroll down a bit and click on animation to view the last 12 hours with the intensity of color enhancements (infrarouges).

This is a very big island and you can choose your holiday spot far from the storm activity.
For the locals, we need the rains from these storms, as an example Lychee production is down from the lack of rains.

That cyclone potential didn't even bring so much as drift rains to the Big Island. Predictions now are no real rains till January even Feb. Which many be true if you follow

Wells are running dry and my wells have gone down another two meters for a total of 10 meters to get a bit of drinking water. I built this well in a area on my land where my wife's school is located, but the well is also used by the neighbors as their wells have all gone dry.

Good for travel but not so good for the locals and their crops.
