"In fact, it is one of only four systems that have crossed the southern Indian Ocean from east to west." Throughout Wednesday, between nearly 4 and 8 inches of rain are expected to accumulate on Madagascar, only adding to the above-normal rainfall the island's gotten in the past week, which is already three times the monthly average, WMO said. it was also the first tropical cyclone in that hemisphere to have four "separate rounds of rapid intensification." 21](https://public.wmo.int/en/media/news/tropical-cyclone-freddy-hits-madagascar-and-mozambique), the NOAA agency said it hit at about the equivalent of a Category 3 cyclone. As of Wednesday, Tropical Cyclone Freddy is at the 30-day mark. The World Meteorological Organization said on Tuesday that Tropical cyclone Freddy, which hit Madagascar, Mozambique and Zimbabwe in February, is lashing the region again.

While it is too early to say what impact the climate crisis has had on Cyclone Freddy, scientists have said that climate change is making these tropical storms Deadly Tropical Cyclone Freddy is set to break records for the longest-lasting storm of its kind as it appears on course to hit Mozambique for a second time, more than two weeks after the first. The WMO is monitoring whether Freddy will become the longest-lasting cyclone in the world, beating the current record which is held by Typhoon John, which lasted for 31 days in 1994.

Tropical Cyclone Freddy churned off the coast of Madagascar and is expected to make landfall for the second time in Mozambique.

The wind along the coast will be Light to moderate southerly. The wind along the coast will be light to moderate south-westerly.

Still recovering from the effects of the first battering, Mozambique is bracing for a rare second hit by long-lived Tropical Cyclone Freddy.

Freddy appeared to have dissipated in recent days before it re-emerged, looping around the Mozambican Channel. The UN weather agency said Freddy was on course to become the longest-lived tropical cyclone in history after traversing the entire Indian Ocean for a month. A United Nations monitoring station on the Indian Ocean island of Reunion warned that Freddy will "gradually intensify to the stage of a tropical cyclone or even an intense tropical cyclone" over the Mozambique Channel before making landfall over the African nation late on Friday and into Saturday.

After striking Madagascar for the second time on Monday, Cyclone Freddy might make landfall in Mozambique later this week. After spanning the whole Indian Ocean for a month, Freddy is on track to become the longest-lived tropical cyclone in history, according to the United Nations meteorological organisation. It has been whirling over the Indian Ocean for 32 days and may become the longest-lasting storm on record.

A tropical cyclone is then an intense low-pressure system that develops and moves in the tropics,” she said. But they are all the same thing.” At this point, it appears that the province of Zambezia will be hardest hit,” she said. “The only good thing about that is that the major impact of Freddy will be further north along the coast of Mozambique and will not directly influence the same area it did on its first landfall.” Dyson said when Freddy moved back into the warm water of the Mozambique channel early this month, it redeveloped into a tropical cyclone and caused further heavy rainfall over Madagascar.

Warming due to human-induced greenhouse gases is absorbed by the oceans, increasing their heat content; this helps strengthen cyclones.

Accumulated cyclone energy gives the measure of the strength of a cyclone during its lifetime. “Cyclone Freddy accumulated 77 units of accumulated cyclone energy which is calculated as the square of wind speed added every six hours during its entire lifetime. Cyclone Freddy has had a major impact on people in Madagascar and Mozambique due to the impact of its swift winds and also the accompanying rainfall. Freddy has done this six times which is a record, according to Singh. Freddy also holds the record for the maximum times a tropical cyclone has undergone rapid intensification at six. It has been active for 32 days over the south Indian Ocean, having made two landfalls and is likely getting ready to make another.

[Met Office](/news/weather) tropical cyclone expert Julian Heming said: “Leon-Eline [the second longest ever recorded cyclone] and its associated flooding happened at the end of a very long, prolonged La Niña period which also produced flooding over Mozambique. It is rare for this to happen so many times," he added. One of the key things the WMO expert committee wants to look into is how Freddy has dropped in energy and then rapidly intensified six separate times, a first for a tropical cyclone in the southern hemisphere. WMO Weather and Climate Extremes spokesperson Professor Randall Cerveny, said: "Once the tropical cyclone has dissipated, these experts will begin a detailed examination of the raw data to determine if Freddy has indeed established a record as the longest-duration tropical cyclone on record. As Mozambique struggles to recover from the destruction of over 28,000 homes, Freddy is again gaining energy for a rare second hit on the country forecasted for Friday night, according to a regional weather centre. One of the key reasons Cyclone Freddy is causing so much interest is because no other tropical cyclone observed in the southern hemisphere has taken a path across the Indian Ocean in the past two decades.
