Medicane Alana (01M-81)

Meteorological History
Medicane Alana was the first Medicane of the 2081 Medicane Season, forming out of a low possibly derived from a strange northern-moving tropical wave and an unnamed cyclone affecting Eritrea. The low was first noted by the Hellenic National Meteorological Service as it moved between Sicily and Malta. The system began to organize and by August 16, the first Medicane of the season was designated Mediterranian Depression 01M. The system moved over waters of 25.5 Degrees Celcius and became a Mediterranian Storm, earning the name Alana. Alana then moved towards Algeria, making landfall near the city of Algiers at 65mph intensity. The system quickly curved back over water, and intensified to 75mph as it moved towards Spain. Alana than made landfall near Malága and dissipated.
