Cyclone Belal continues to intensify, and is now a Category 2 on the Saffir Simpson Scale as it draws closer to the island of Réunion in the southwest Indian Ocean. The storm is developing a decent eye and winds are now near 100 miles per hour (160kph), and these winds may affect the islands especially on Monday. Rainfall amounts are also expected to become serious, with up to 500mm possible on the island of Réunion. Later on in the forecast, the track of Belal will become more uncertain, with the potential for the storm to stall completely or even turn back towards the islands.
