Extratropical Cyclone Indusa 2026

Live tracking map, satellite, radar, and forecasts of Extratropical Cyclone Indusa 2026 in the southwest Indian Ocean. Current wind speed 110km/h. Max 165km/h.

Indusa is located 1569 km southeast of Port Louis, Mauritius, and has tracked southward at 35 km/h (19 knots) over the past 6 hours. Maximum significant wave height is 9.1 meters (30 feet).

Having rounded the subtropical ridge axis yesterday, Indusa has traced a gradual arc towards the south-southeast over the course of the past 24 hours.

Now positioned on the southwestern flank of the subtropical ridge, and within the tightening gradient ahead of an extremely strong and deep upper-level trough to the west, Indusa will accelerate southeastward through the short forecast period.

Regarding intensity, now that the vortex is decoupled, being smothered by dry mid-level air aloft and moving over progressively cooler waters, it will steadily weaken through the forecast period. At the same time, the system has already begun the early phases of extratropical transition (ETT) and is forecast to complete ETT within the next 24 hours as it moves under an upper-level jet streak and undergoes frontogenesis.

Deterministic and ensemble guidance is in strong agreement on the forecast track, with all available consensus members confined to a narrow track envelope of just 50 nautical miles, lending high confidence to the JTWC forecast track.

Intensity guidance is also in good agreement, with all members indicated steady to rapid weakening.

While the Decay-SHIPS is likely a bit too fast in dissipating Indusa, the HAFS-A, HWRF and COAMPS-TC are in good agreement in a slower but more steady weakening and the JTWC forecast is placed near these models with high confidence.
