The region may be in for more rough weather soon. Authorities have expressed concern about a low-pressure system named Batsirai that started forming over the Indian Ocean last week. As of Monday, Batsirai had already intensified into a tropical storm, and it’s expected to get stronger as it moves towards the coast of Madagascar. Up to six tropical storms have been projected to hit the region before the end of the rainy season in March.
