Tropical Cyclone Eloise is a tropical cyclone that is currently moving inland into Zimbabwe. The disturbance that spawned Eloise was first noted by the MFR on 14 January, and it entered a region marginally favorable for development. The seventh tropical depression, fifth named storm, and third severe tropical storm of the 2020–21 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, the system developed into a tropical depression on 16 January, and strengthened into a tropical storm on 17 January, though the storm had limited outflow. On the next day, the storm entered a favorable environment as equatorward outflow became vigorous, and it soon intensified to a Severe Tropical Storm. Late on 19 January, Eloise made landfall in northern Madagascar as a moderate tropical storm, bringing large amounts of rainfall. The storm traversed the island of Madagascar and entered the Mozambique Channel in the early hours of 21 January.[1] After moving southwestward across the Mozambique Channel for two days, Eloise strengthened into a Category 1-equivalent cyclone, due to low wind shear and high sea surface temperatures. Early on January 23, Eloise peaked as a Category 2-equivalent tropical cyclone, as the center of the storm began to move ashore. Shortly afterward, Eloise made landfall just north of Beira, Mozambique, before proceeding to rapidly weaken.

Preparations for the advancing storm took place in Madagascar before Eloise's landfall and in multiple other African countries. For Madagascar, widespread warnings and alerts were issued as the storm approached northern Madagascar. For Mozambique, high alerts have been put in place for central portions of the country. Humanitarian responders have been prepared for response after the storms passing. Beira's port will be closed for about 40 hours, and limited supplies of emergency non-food items have been given. Many families are currently sheltered in tents at accommodation centers, and are awaiting kits for food, hygiene, and COVID-19 protection. Officials in Zimbabwe have warned of ravine and flash flooding which may cause infrastructure damage. Several northern provinces of South Africa are expected to experience heavy rains, which have prompted severe risk warnings for them. Disaster management teams were placed on high alert ahead of the storm.

Extreme flooding has occurred throughout central Mozambique, with many areas already being flooded due to continuous heavy rains weeks prior to Eloise’s landfall. More than one hundred thousand people have been displaced and dams are at a tipping point. 4 deaths have been confirmed so far.

On 14 January, a zone of disturbed weather formed over the central South Indian Ocean, to the east of another system and gradually organized while moving westward.[2] On 16 January, the system organized into a tropical depression.[3] With the presence of persisting deep convection, the system strengthened into Moderate Tropical Storm Eloise on 17 January.[4] Initially, Eloise struggled to develop further from the presence of strong easterly shear and dry air, which caused Eloise's thunderstorm activity to be displaced to the west.[5] Despite the presence of this shear and mid-level dry air, Eloise soon began to intensify further, with convection wrapping into an eye feature and outflow becoming increasingly defined, marking the intensification of Eloise into a severe tropical storm on 19 January, while heading westward towards Madagascar.[6] This intensification trend did not last for a particularly long time, as Eloise made a small turn to the north and then made landfall in Antalaha, Madagascar, whilst weakening back to a moderate tropical storm, due to land interaction with the mountains of Madagascar.[7] The next day, Eloise weakened to a tropical depression due to land interaction, with deep convection over its center eroded though it maintained flaring convection over the northern semicircle.[8]

Tropical Cyclone Eloise approaching Mozambique on 22 January

On 20 January, Eloise emerged into the Mozambique Channel. While in the Mozambique Channel, Eloise began to reintensify, with warm waters, a moist environment, little shear, and good equatorward divergence contributing to the storm's strengthening trend.[9] However, some upper-level convergence hindered convection from developing quickly, though all other factors were relatively favorable.[10] Soon afterward, the upper-level convergence began to decrease, allowing the system to begin strengthening.[11] On 21 January, Eloise's outflow became robust, though its strength was limited, due to land interaction in the northern semicircle of the storm, having the strongest winds in the southeast quadrant, and boasting much weaker winds elsewhere. Despite sustained land interaction, Eloise strengthened, with improving poleward outflow and tightly wrapped banding features wrapping into an small eye.[12] On 22 January, Eloise significantly improved in organization as it moved southwestward across the Mozambique Channel. Later that day, Eloise strengthened into a Category 1-equivalent tropical cyclone on the Saffir–Simpson Hurricane Scale (SSHWS), as it neared the coast of Mozambique, given the favorable conditions in the region. Early on 23 January, Eloise strengthened further and peaked as a Category 2-equivalent tropical cyclone, with 10-minute sustained winds of 150 km/h (90 mph), 1-minute sustained winds of 155 km/h (100 mph), and a minimum central pressure of 967 millibars (28.6 inHg), as the storm's eyewall began moving ashore. Soon afterward, Eloise made landfall just north of Beira, Mozambique, at the same intensity.[13][14] Following landfall, Eloise rapidly weakened, with the storm weakening back into a moderate tropical storm within 12 hours.[15] Despite favorable wind shear and outflow, Eloise weakened rapidly over the rugged terrain and dry air.[16]

Current storm information

As of 12:00 UTC on 23 January, Overland Depression Eloise is located within 30 nautical miles of 20°54′S 33°12′E / 20.9°S 33.2°E / -20.9; 33.2 (Eloise). Maximum 10-minute sustained winds are at 30 knots (55 km/h; 35 mph) while maximum 1-minute sustained winds are at 60 knots (110 km/h; 70 mph), with gusts up to 70 knots (130 km/h; 80 mph). The minimum central barometric pressure is 987 hPa (29.15 inHg).

Preparations

Madagascar

Ahead of landfall, humanitarians and authorities in Madagascar coordinated preparedness activities. A meeting was organized on 19 January by the National Office for Risk and Disaster Management (BNGRC) to prepare for potential assessments and/or response. Authorities devised plans, including contingency plans, evacuation plans, emergency operation centres and early warning system at the community level. Aerial assessments using photo and geo-tracking system were also planned for the impact of the storm.[17] The local contingency plan in the north-eastern part of the country and the early warning system at the community level was activated. Emergency stocks are available in many districts in the most at-risk areas. [18] On 18 January, the Global Disaster Alert and Coordination System (GDACS) gave the storm a green alert, which pointed to a wind impact of 0.5. The next day, GDACS upgraded the storm alert to an orange alert, which pointed to a higher 1.5 wind impact.[19][20][21] With Eloise enhancing heavy rainfall, landslides, flash floods, and widespread flooding were expected. [22] Moreover, waves up 6 m (20 ft) were expected in Antongil Bay.[23]

Mozambique

According to the Mozambican National Meteorological Institute (INAM), Eloise was expected to make landfall somewhere between the Inhambane and Gaza provinces.[24] Government officials have placed the Inhanombe and Mutamba in southern Mozambique and Buzi and Pungoe basins in central Mozambique on high alert.[24] The newly-created National Institute for Management and Disaster Risk Reduction (INGD) – which has replaced the former National Disaster Management Institute (INGC) – closely followed Eloise's trajectory and worked with humanitarian partners to prepare for any response required.[25] By mid-afternoon 22 January, shops across Beira were closed and multiple streets were flooded from rainfall brought by the approaching storm. The port of Beira will remain closed for about 40 hours in expectation of dangerous winds and flooding rains. A limited supply of emergency items had been stockpiled in the city. Hundreds of families were evacuation to two accommodation centers and are sheltered in tents. People in shelters are in need of food and hygiene kits, as well as COVID-19 protection.[26] Mozambique's National Institute for Disaster Risk Management and Reduction (INGD) reported that around 3,000 people were evacuated from Buzi District.[27]

Elsewhere

The Meteorological Services Department in Zimbabwe advised of continuous rains from 14 to 20 January throughout the nation, which could result in ravine flooding, flash flooding and subsequent damages to houses, roads, sewer lines and other public infrastructure in some areas.[24] In the event of Eloise causing more damage than expected, humanitarian partners met with the DCP on 22 January to discuss preparedness measures. The inter-agency contingency plan is nearing finalization and colleagues are being pre-identified for potential deployment during assessments, if needed.[28] According to the South African Weather Service, Northern Limpopo, Mpumalanga, and northern KwaZulu are expected to be affected by heavy rains that may last into Monday. Severe risk warnings have been issued for the areas. Widespread flooding, and water-related damage to infrastructure is expected. Sipho Hlomuka, a co-operative governance and traditional affairs for KwaZulu-Natal, has placed disaster management teams on high alert.[29]

In Eswatini, the National Disaster Management Agency (NDMA) has determined that northern and eastern Eswatini might be venerable to Cyclone Eloise, with high altitude areas of high focus. Early warning systems have been initiated, evacuation plans to evacuation centers have been made, in addition to other necessary measures.[30] The Municipal Council of Mbabane Public Information states that drains had been cleaned out to avoid floods and that trees that threatened structures and people were identified.[31]

Both the Department of Climate Change and Meteorological Services in Malawi and Mozambique have noted that Malawi will not be directly impacted by Eloise, but will create some rainfall.[32][33] Furthermore, officials have issued warnings for heavy downpours and strong winds.[34]

Impact

Madagascar

On 19 January, Eloise made landfall in the north-eastern town of Antalaha, Madagascar as a tropical storm. Eloise produced heavy rain, which had the potential to lead to floods and landslides in northern Madagascar.[17] Météo-France noted on 20 January that accumulations for 100–150 mm (3.9–5.9 in) were possible in 24 hours for the northwestern regions of Madagascar.[35] By 18:00 UTC on 19 January, authorities had issued a red alert (imminent danger) for the Sava, Analanjirofo, Bealanana, Befandriana Avaratra and Mandritsara regions and a yellow alert (threat) for Toamasina I-II and Alaotra. All weather warnings have been lifted in Brickaville, Vatomandry, Mahanoro and Moramanga.[24] Strong winds, reaching near gale force (64 km/h (40 mph) spread from north to south along the northwestern coast of Madagascar.[35] While passing through Madagascar, Eloise enhanced some monsoon winds, generating rainfall up to 200 mm (7.9 in) in some places. Eloise exited Madagascar on 21 January, leaving one person dead in the country.[27]

Mozambique

According to the The South African weather department, Eloise made landfall on made landfall around 2:30 a.m. in the morning with wind speeds of 160 kilometres per hour (99 mph). Due to flooding, Cars were submerged in water, walls of some low lying buildings collapsed and swathes of land were flooded in Beira. Beria's power supply was shut down as Eloise damaged power lines and uprooted some electricity poles, power utility EDM noted.

IOM Mozambique also reported that due to heavy rainfall and discharge of water from the Chicamba dam and the Manuzi Reservoir, 19,000 people have been affected.[36] At least three people have died so far in the country. Since the beginning of heavy rains on 15 January, 21,500 people have been affected and over 3,900 acres of farmland has been damaged or destroyed. According to preliminary satellite analysis by UNOSAT surveying the Sofala and Manica provinces, about 2,200 km2 of land appears to be flooded, with Beira City, Buzi and Nhamatanda had the greatest number of people potentially exposed to flooding.[28] Furthermore, the rainfall has affected 100,000 in Beria resettlement sites, which have been impacted by Cyclone Idai a year ago and Tropical Storm Chalane only a couple weeks before.[26] Some of the worst-hit areas, such as the Buzi District, outside of Beira, were already submerged by days of heavy rains ahead of the cyclone's landfall, with floodwaters consuming fields and running through village streets.[27]

Prior to landfall, 4,000 households were affected by floods in Buzi, with another 266 in Nhamatanda, and 326 in Beira. The Provinces of Inhambane, Manica, Niassa, Sofala, Tete, and Zambezia had already received between 200–300 mm (7.9–11.8 in) of rain since 9 January. This was worsened after Eloise made landfall. Dams were brought to a tipping point, which raised concerns that they may worsen the flooding even more for the affected areas.[37]
