Forum:2011 Southern Hemisphere tropical cyclone season/Zaka

===Tropical Cyclone ZakaEdit=== Just numbered a short while back. I haven't a current track on this storm or intensity yet, but it could become Zaka pretty soon. The South Pacific is really rollin on this year; this is their 4th storm in less than a month, but the SWIO and AUS regions are quite far behind thus far. They should be much more active than where they are now. Ryan1000 14:30, February 5, 2011 (UTC)
 * It's now a depression. It's near the Tonga area and appears to be heading for the American Samoa and the Cook Islands, but who knows how strong it will be when it gets there... Hopefully it won't pull an Olaf or a Percy, both of which were category 5 cyclones from the 2005 season. Ryan1000 13:46, February 6, 2011 (UTC)

And now it's Zaka. It appears it was heading west-southwest all this time... And it probrably won't become much of anything, but it may turn further south pretty soon and be New Zeland's 3rd hit in less than a month. It's several hundred miles south-southeast of Fiji, and it's heading west-southwest slowly. It's currently a category one on the Australian scale, and it isn't expected to become a Yasi-like storm by any means. Ryan1000 16:19, February 6, 2011 (UTC)
 * Has this forum already lost all of it's activity or is just that no one is interested in it now? Anyhow, Zaka is now a two on the AUS scale, and it's forecast to hit NZ soon. It's their third hit in a year, but none of the storms have severely affected New Zeland... Cyclone Bola in March of '88 on the other hand, did. Ryan1000 21:40, February 7, 2011 (UTC)
 * Probably lost interest, Yasi was pretty exciting, Zaka, not really. Anyways Zaka is gone now. Yqt1001 02:02, February 9, 2011 (UTC)
 * Ah, I guess so. Zaka is pretty much dead, but the only basin that's actually alive is this one... Even though the ATL has a long ways to go, we could pay attention here for the time being, so to speak. If you want to make some retirement predictions like I did at the bottom of this page, feel free to do so. Ryan1000 20:48, February 9, 2011 (UTC)
