This weather update is brought to you by Gecko Interior
Welcome to Gecko Interiors, a fun and colourful gift and homewares store based in tropical North Queensland, Australia. . Whether you're a local shopping from home, or dropped into my store while on a recent holiday to Townsville (with no room left to take everything back in your suitcase! ), let us take care of delivering to you.
Tropical Low
The tropical low NE of the Solomon Islands is deepening to 1005hPa tomorrow and will deepen further to 1001hPa by Saturday as it drifts slowly SSW towards Vanuatu. By Sunday it will continue towards Vanuatu a little faster and deepen to around 986hPa. At this point it will be well fed from the warm humid air to the NE and mix with the cooler drier air from the South creating severe storms. The Satellite is now showing great form and some partial circulation. The cloud covers a very large area. Tuesday is where the tropical low will reach it's peak, and as it reaches more dry air and cooler waters it will start to degrade a little. A low South of Victoria is blocking a High that might have guided the low differently.
