Typhoon Indusa - the predecessor of the tropical depression formed from April 1st - is currently located about 620 km south of Diego Garcia Island, moving south at a speed of about 7 km/h in the past 6 hours.
Sea waves in the storm center area are about 5.5 m high, posing great risks for ships and tourism activities at sea.
According to the latest storm news from the Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC), forecast for the next 36 hours, Typhoon Indusa is forecast to continue moving south-southwest, due to the influence of the northwest edge of the subtropical high pressure.
In about 2 days, the storm will approach this high pressure axis and change direction, moving in a south-southeast direction.
Typhoon forecast to be strong like a super typhoon on April 3.
Typhoon Indusa tends to strengthen in the next 2 days, peaking at about 165 km/h when changing direction. After that, the typhoon will gradually weaken into a low pressure area when entering a more unfavorable environment, including strong upper-level winds, reduced sea surface temperatures and dry air.
Visitors should avoid sea tourism, diving or boat trips in the southern Indian Ocean near Diego Garcia in the coming days.
