MAURITIUS - Tropical cyclone Berguitta has intensified overnight and is likely to have a major effect on the island paradises of Mauritius and Reunion as the storm’s path is expected to track towards land this week. The storm is currently over open water in the Indian Ocean, with sustained winds of 140 kilometres per hour and wave heights of more than seven metres. But forecasts suggest tropical cyclone Berguitta will track inland toward the southwest this week, hitting Mauritius on Thursday. And as Berguitta continues to feed off the warm waters of Indian Ocean, it will intensify into the equivalent of a Category 3 system, with sustained winds of 185km/h.
