Extratropical Cyclone Gezani 2026

Live tracking map, satellite, radar, and forecasts of Extratropical Cyclone Gezani 2026 in the southwest Indian Ocean. Current wind speed 85km/h. Max 200km/h.

Gezani is located 1050 km south of Europa Island, and has tracked south-southwestward at 26 km/h (14 knots) over the past 6 hours. Minimum central pressure at 17/18:00 UTC is 991 hPa. Maximum significant wave height is 7.3 meters (24 feet).

Infrared imagery shows Gezani with a shallow, fully-exposed low-level circulation center (LLCC). A 17/15:51 UTC RCM-1 SAR image revealed maximum winds of around 100–110 km/h (55–60 knots) within the eastern semcircle.

The initial intensity of 95 km/h (50 knots) is assessed with high confidence based on the slight high bias of the RCM-1 sensor. Environmental conditions are analyzed to be unfavorable based on strong poleward outflow greatly offset by high (25–30 knots) wind shear, significant dry air entrainment, and cool (24–25°C) sea surface temperatures.

Gezani is forecast to track southward over the next 24 hours with steady weakening as it continues to feel the effects of the hostile environment.

Subtropical transition is forecast to complete within 12 hours as the vortex continues to shallow out and interacts with sea surface temperatures of around 22–23°C.

This is the final warning on this system by JTWC. The system will be closely monitored for signs of regeneration.
