Batsarai storm could turn into a storm near Reunion

– 02-20212022 The system has been constantly intensifying in recent hours. It was therefore baptized by the Mauritius Meteorological Service during the temperate tropical storm phase. It is currently far from populated land (over 2000 km) and poses no immediate threat.

– It must continue its global movement west-southwest, bringing it east of Mascarenes and especially Rodrigues, the first possible territory on its path from Sunday or Monday. The evolution of its severity over the next few days is still uncertain.

– So it is still too late to know the exact impacts on the land where people live. Residents of Mascarenes (Rodrigues, Mauritius and Reunion) are invited to stay up-to-date on the development of BATSIRAI over the next few days.

Here are the predicted intensities and conditions of this low pressure system over the next few days:
– Moderate tropical storm,
