Cyclone Freddy, which has twice smashed into the African coast after traversing the Indian Ocean, may be enshrined in the history books as the longest ever documented, meteorologists say. | News24_Business

The storm began to brew in early February in the southeastern Indian Ocean off northern Australia, whose weather service gave it the designation of Freddy on February 6.

The French weather service Meteo-France describes Freddy as a"particularly powerful and compact tropical system, generating extreme winds near its core". It has travelled more than 8 000 kilometres. The last cyclones to cross the entire southern Indian Ocean were Leon-Eline and Hudah in 2000.An overview of the challenges and opportunities of the climate crisis, as it changes the world we know."Tropical Cyclone Freddy is exceptional mainly due to the fact that it has lasted longer than any other in historical records," says Melissa Lazenby, a lecturer in climate change at the University of Sussex in southern England.

A panel of WMO experts in extreme weather events will now study whether Freddy is the new titleholder, a process likely to take months.On March 3, the US National Aeronautics and Space Administration said Freddy set the record for having the highest accumulated cyclone energy - the total amount of energy associated with a tropical cyclone over its lifetime - of any southern hemisphere storm in history.
