28.04.10. Meteorology never ceases to amaze us worldwide. On this occasion, for a case that occurred between January 22 and 25 of 2010. The Cazatormentas.Net team have met with him by chance, on the EUMETSAT website, looking for other information for cases of discharges. temperatures registered in the Costa Tropical of Granada. Nothing less than a rare case of low pressure in South Africa (between Namibia and Botswana) that, structurally and apparently, is a possible tropical cyclone formed on the mainland (continues).



We have investigated the case through the satellite images of the archive of the University of Dundee, to try to discover its origin. Specifically, we have verified whether this cyclone was formed from the remains of a previous tropical cyclone that could have affected Madagascar and that subsequently had entered the continent. But none of this has been found. The cyclone is born of very extensive and intense convective activity that occurs during these days on these countries, so that little by little it is organized to form what in our eyes seems a complete tropical storm. In the web discussion forum there is an open thread on this case, which brings together a collection of images in infrared mode that shows the evolution of the cyclone, as well as an animation in Quick Time format extracted from the EUMETSAT website. We recommend your reading. As we can see, rare and complex cases of low pressure with tropical characteristics are found throughout the planet. Unfortunately, having spent so much time, there are no filed phase diagrams of the cyclone that would have helped us a lot in understanding its structure: whether it presented a warm core, its depth in the atmospheric profile, as well as the field of pressures exhibited and other help data. We are left with the images, which is not little.
