.

IDAI SHOULD BE A VERY DANGEROUS STORM AT THE TIME OF ITS LANDING, WHICH IS STILL FORECASTED ON FRIDAY ON THE MOZAMBICAN COASTLINE BETWEEN BEIRA AND QUELIMANE APPROXIMATELY. THE FIRST STORM SURGE ESTIMATIONS EXCEED 6M OVER THE ZAMBEZE'S DELTA AND ARE CLOSE TO 4M AROUND BEIRA AND QUELIMANE. TO THIS, WE MUST ADD A CYCLONIC SWELL ALREADY PRESENT ON THE MALAGASY AND AFRICAN COASTS WHICH WILL CONTINUE TO GROW. SATELLITE WAVE MEASUREMENTS CURRENTLY PROVIDE VALUES OF MORE THAN 7M (I.E. MAXIMUM HEIGHTS OF NEARLY 12M) NEAR IDAI. WAVES OF 12 METRES ARE EXPECTED ON THE MOZAMBICAN COASTS DURING LANDING, REACHING
MAXIMUM HEIGHTS OF 20 METRES.”

Pofás “kis” vihardagály néz ki. Plusz jöhetnek majd a 12-20 m közötti hullámok zivatar
