Summary

[edit]
Description
English: On December 20, 2016, the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) aboard NASA’s Aqua satellite captured a cyclone spinning off the northwestern coast of Australia. At the time the image was captured, Tropical Cyclone Two-16 was a small storm with a cloud-filled eye. The rain bands were reaching the mainland, including Exmouth and Port Hedland, Western Australia. Rain and stormy conditions are predicted for the region through December 25, but maximum sustained winds are expected to top out at about 52 mph (83 km/h) according to the Global Disaster Alert and Coordination System (GDACS). The storm is expected to have a low humanitarian impact, with no people exposed to hurricane-force winds.
