This week, southern Madagascar experienced heavy rainfall due to a low-pressure area that became Tropical Cyclone Elvis, causing significant rain totals in Taolagnaro and Toliara. As Elvis tracked south-south-east, it produced maximum sustained winds of 40 knots and was expected to undergo extratropical transition. Meanwhile, Europe faced multiple storms—Eowyn, Herminia, and Ivo—resulting from a strong jet stream across the North Atlantic, leading to record January temperatures in Spain and severe flooding in parts of France, including notable evacuations in Rennes.
