Recent sources state that Tropical Cyclone Freddy hit Madagascar on Tuesday at about 8:30 p.m. This does not, however, imply that things have returned to normal. The cyclone may cause multiple potentially fatal effects, including storm surge, flooding, extremely high winds, and lightning, according to authorities.
Following a significant cyclone alert, Mauritius’ Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam International Airport was closed on Monday. The airport reopened on Tuesday after the cyclone warnings were lifted.
To and from Mauritius, though, a number of flights have been postponed or cancelled. Hence, before leaving for the airport, customers are recommended to check the status of their flights or contact the relevant airlines for the most recent flight update.
According to reports, only departing passengers would be allowed temporary access to the airport’s check-in area.
According to meteorologists, Cyclone Freddy’s path from Australia to Madagascar and other nearby islands was unexpected and even a little unique. It was touch-and-go for Mauritius and Reunion despite the cyclone moving in their direction to the north.
The Cyclone Batsirai of February 2023 was the most recent catastrophic cyclone to devastate the area.
According to reports, Cyclone Freddy is still active. By later this week, the cyclone is most likely to move into Mozambique. According to reports, Cyclone Freddy might make a second landfall in the area.
