UPDATE: Dineo intensifies as NASA certifies her a cyclone
Tropical storm Dineo has been growing from strength to strength and has now officially been classified a cyclone by NASA, according to Storm Report.
Just yesterday Dineo was regarded as simply a tropical disturbance, but NASA has hastily updated her status to a cyclone, with wind speeds exceeding 60km/h and wind gusts growing at 100km/h+ according to VentuSky.
VentuSky shows that rainfall has also intensified in and around the cyclone since 02:00 this morning with precipitation coming in at 100mm+ in the last 12 hours.
It is predicted that Dineo will breach the South Africa-Mozambique border early Thursday morning and will envelop the Tzaneen/Letaba area by Friday.
Expected rainfall for Friday morning is around 20mm+ in the Tzaneen area, so either get those speedo’s ready, or simply snuggle up and stay indoors.
