Central pressure is 954 hPa. Winds at the centre were estimated to be 145km/h gusting to 205km/h. Schools have been told to close in the northern provinces. The image above shows damage from Cyclone Donna to a school on Vanua Lava. Most meteorological forecast models predict Cyclone Donna will take a path away from Vanuatu's islands and will weaken over the next three days as it heads southeast. However, this cyclone is very slow moving and could change direction and intensity at any time, so please prepare for the worst. This is still a very dangerous cyclone, and it will bring destructive storm surges, flooding and heavy rain even if it doesn't make landfall. We'll keep you updated here.

Photo: Morecast app Vanuatu's official cyclone season ended on April 30, but the slow-moving tropical low lurking over northern Vanuatu waters for the past few days has just reached cyclone intensity and has been named as Cyclone Donna. The Vanuatu Meteorology and Geohazards Department has issued a Blue Alert for Torba, Sanma and Penama provinces. Cyclone Donna, currently a Category 1 system, is 365km east of Sola and tracking ESE. At this stage it looks likely to make landfall in northern Vanuatu as a Category 2 or 3 system on Friday, May 5. The GFS model forecast (shown above) suggests that Cyclone Donna may make a sharp turn southward towards Vanuatu's central and southern islands, following Vanuatu's 'cyclone alley', although this could change. Cyclone Donna is the second tropical cyclone to form in the space of a month, following Cyclone Cook in early April. As always, we urge our readers to start preparing well in advance of the cyclone's arrival, and keep visiting Vanuatu Digest for updates. Vanuatu Meteorology and Geohazards Department has a new website just in time for Cyclone Donna, and VMGD's cyclone warnings can be found on this page, the cyclone tracking map here, or you can listen to Radio Vanuatu's frequent updates.
