Cyclone Freddy turning havoc across cities in Africa | UPSC IAS Current Affairs 2023/24

Before this weekend, Cyclone Freddy was already the Earth’s longest-lived tropical storm. As Freddy made landfall on Sunday in central Mozambique for a second time in the space of a few weeks, lashing a stretch of southern Africa with heavy rains and winds, it also may have solidified its status as one of the strongest tropical cyclones ever observed in the southern hemisphere.

That’s the growing assessment of the world’s meteorological community, as my colleague Matthew Cappucci reported. Freddy emerged around Feb. 6 off the coasts of Indonesia and Western Australia, transited thousands of miles west across the Indian Ocean before striking the island of Madagascar on Feb. 19 and then making landfall in Mozambique on Feb. 24, where it flooded towns, devastated crops and plunged communities in darkness. It looped back over the Mozambique Channel and picked up energy again over its warm waters before returning to the African mainland.
