A weak low pressure area can be located almost to the east of Agalega. This system is likely to move towards the West-southwest heading towards Madagascar.
Most weather models agree that while the low-pressure system tracks west-southwest, it will extend a trough towards the Mascarene Islands; significantly active clouds are likely to influence weather at St Brandon, Rodrigues and Mauritius with heavy showers and thunderstorms.
The combined effect of the low pressure and an anticyclone to the south of the Mascarenes will maintain a windy weather over the Mascarene Islands during the weekend.
