On this trajectory  it continues to approach Mauritius while intensifying.
A slight recurvature of its trajectory towards the south west  will bring its  centre still closer to Mauritius and cause a further deterioration of the weather.

The public in Mauritius is advised to maintain all preliminary precautions.

Active cloud bands asociated with CALVINIA are influencing weather over Mauritius causing intermittent rain. The rain will be moderate to heavy at times with thunderstorms. There may be accumulation of water in certain places.
