The World Meteorological Office (WMO) on Tuesday said that tropical Cyclone Freddy, which is threatening communities in Madagascar and Mozambique for a second time in as many weeks, could become the longest-lasting storm of its kind on record.
According to WMO, it continues to monitor the “remarkable” tropical storm, which has cut a destructive path across the two countries since it first developed a month ago.
