Tropical Cyclone Herman

By Alexa Ross •

Tropical Cyclone Herman has upgraded to Tropical Storm status and currently sits in the Eastern Indian Ocean, approximately 1600 km from the coast of Western Australia. It has been measured to produce gusts up to 55 mph. As of yet, the storm poses no threat to human populations and is not forecast to make landfall. However, its outer rainbands could bring heavy precipitation to Indonesian islands Sumatra and Java.

Tropical Cyclone Herman gains structure over the Indian Ocean, as observed by the Advanced Himawari Imager Band 9 (6.9 µm, the mid-level water vapor band). Drier areas appear darker in color while more moist areas are lighter in color. The animation shows Band 9 data on 2023-03-29 from 0400 to 1600 UTC. Recreate this animation using RealEarth.
