Mauritius grounded flights and shut its stock exchange as tropical cyclone Freddy approached the island in the Indian Ocean on Monday, while emergency teams braced for heavy rains, floods and landslides in four regions on Madagascar.

The cyclone, packing wind gusts of up to 120 km per hour, posed a direct threat to Mauritius, its weather service said.

The cyclone could pass as close as 120 km to the north-northwest of the island late in the afternoon, the service said. Authorities on the island of Madagascar – about 1 130 km west of Mauritius towards the coast of Africa – said they were expecting a direct hit by late Tuesday, between Mahanoro in the east and Manakara in the south east.
