Africa-Press – Mozambique. Tropical Storm Filipo moved out to sea in Maputo Bay yesterday morning and is progressing southeast-wards, gradually distancing itself from land.
According to the National Institute of Meteorology (INAM), ‘Filipo’ is now a moderate tropical storm, but is expected to gain intensity to the stage of a severe tropical storm or even a tropical cyclone before losing its tropical characteristics in the next 48 hours.
However, moderate rains and winds of 90 km/h, gusting up to 120 km/h, are expected to persist for now in coastal areas of Maputo and Gaza provinces.
INAM says it is monitoring the evolution of the system and calls on the population “to continue following meteorological information and warnings disseminated by the competent national authorities”.
