Hello from Mauritius

I installed my Davis Vantage Pro a few months ago but this is the first time that it is getting a real test with the effects of cyclone Nubile. Luckily the centre of the cyclone is some 300kms away.

Welcome to the WeatherCat forum!

It must be boring having nice weather all the time. I'll happily send you some of our 10˚F.

I'm glad you found us,

Welcome! 

I installed my Davis Vantage Pro a few months ago but this is the first time that it is getting a real test with the effects of cyclone Nubile. Luckily the centre of the cyclone is some 300kms away.

Hope indeed your VP-2 copes with the cyclone without any problems and that your home does as well!

We've had some really wild weather caused by remnants of Pacific Typhoons, so I would expect you are getting a serious weather workout. 

Cheers, Edouard

Thanks for all the welcomes. The cyclone Nubile has now passed with not much impact on Mauritius. A class 2 cyclone warning was issued but the maximum wind gust that I recorded was only 70 kph. The island Reunion, however was not as fortunate with winds in excess of 130kph.

Hi Colin,

Thanks for all the welcomes. The cyclone Nubile has now passed with not much impact on Mauritius. A class 2 cyclone warning was issued but the maximum wind gust that I recorded was only 70 kph.

Glad the storm was not a significant problem for your location.

The island Reunion, however was not as fortunate with winds in excess of 130kph.

Yes, I understand second-hand from French news sources that this storm was very rough on la Reunion.  There were lots of power outages at last report.

Once more welcome to the WeatherCat community!! 

Cheers, Edouard
