The tropical low evolving to the southeast of Diego Garcia has intensified into a tropical depression.
At 13h00, it was centered near 11.0 degrees South and 73.5 degrees East and is moving towards the west at a mean speed of about 30 km/h.
The environment in which it is evolving is favourable for further intensification. In the event when it reaches a Moderate Tropical Storm intensity, then the Mauritius Meteorological Services will name it “CHIDO”.
If the westerly trajectory is maintained then there is a likelihood that it will influence the local weather over Agalega and St Brandon as from Monday 09 December 2024.
