Vanuatu, at least some of the southern islands, are in for big trouble. It is going to be hit by two cyclones in a span of four days. Cyclone Nathan will soon follow the bigger cyclone Pam.
Even as tropical cyclone Pam is brewing in the south Pacific east of Solomon Islands, another storm Nathan is about to be born near the coast of Queensland, Australia in the Coral Sea.
And both these storms are going to bring big trouble to some islands of Vanuatu, especially Erromango and Tanna. pam is going to come first on March 12. Cyclone Nathan will arrive howling four days later, on March 16, 2015.
Talking of tropical cyclone Pam: it is likely that it is going to move through Vanuatu. Fiji seems to be safe. Pam is going to hit Vanuatu islands on March 11 and move through them in the next 48 hours after that.
Cyclone Nathan is going to form tomorrow near the southern most tip of Papua New Guinea and move towards the Queensland coast. But it will not make landfall but instead swing back into the Coral Sea and move towards New Caledonia. It is expected to move between New Caledonia and Vanuatu on the 16th of March, 2015. The islands of Lifou and Mare will suffer direct hits.
The ECMWF Model has something different in store for tropical cyclone Nathan. It believes the storm will not swing back into the Coral Sea but continue hugging the coast of Queensland. If this comes true, coastal Queensland is for some real rough weather in the coming days.
Though Nathan will be smaller than cyclone Pam it will still be a significant tropical cyclone with a minimum pressure of 981 Mb.
Vanuatu islands are a paradise for tourists. They are strongly advised to avoid the the islands for a week.
