Overview
Heidi (Southern Indian Ocean)
Chanda (Southern Indian Ocean)
Radar imagery from Madagascar today, January 10, 2012, shows the center Tropical Storm Chanda's remnants and most of its associated rainfall are off-shore and east of the island nation.
Benilde (Southern Indian Ocean)
Wind shear continues to pummel Tropical Cyclone Benilde, and has weakened it to the status of a remnant low pressure area today.
Thane (Northern Indian Ocean)
At least 47 people were killed when tropical cyclone Thane with reported winds of up to 85 mph (137 kmh) hit Tamil Nadu on the southeastern coast of India Friday morning, December 30, 2011.
