On April 5, 2022, the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer
(MODIS) on board NASA’s Terra satellite acquired a true-color image of
Tropical Cyclone Fili as it strengthened off of northwestern New
Caledonia. The fifth named storm of the 2021-2022 South Pacific cyclone
season, at 0000 UTC, the center for the storm was located about 236 mi
(380 km) northwest of northern New Caledonia and was carrying maximum
sustained winds of 52 mph (83 km/h). The storm was moving southwards
over the Coral Sea.
Tropical Cyclone Fili is expected to strengthen and pass westward of
New Caledonia, but landfall is not expected. Heavy rainfall has been
reported across both the Belep Islands and the largest island of New
Caledonia, Grande Terre on April 5.
