Extratropical Cyclone #Vaianu continues to spiral toward the North Island of New Zealand. Damaging winds are expected, with severe gusts likely to bring down trees, cause power outages, and create hazardous conditions, particularly in exposed northern and eastern areas.

A perfect example of the Coriolis effect at work. Twin cyclones, one in each hemisphere, spinning in opposite directions, and prevented from crossing the equator.

🌀 Ex-Tropical Cyclone #Vaianu will bring very strong winds and heavy rain to the North Island and the upper South Island of New Zealand this weekend. Winds will exceed 100 km/h in some regions:

A cyclone has been trapped in the Solomon Sea for several days now 🌀 As it stays locked over warm waters, Cyclone #Maila gathers strength. It will eventually escape in a day or two, tracking toward Australia’s Cape York Peninsula.
