Red Alert still in effect for Vanuatu's southern islands

Early this morning it was situated 160km south southeast of Aneityum and 250km south southeast of Tanna.

On its current path it could hit the same region devastated last March by Cyclone Pam which killed 11 people, left tens of thousands homeless and wiped out entire food crops.

Vanuatu prepares for cyclone Ula's arrival

In its latest warning, the country's meteorological service says Ula is currently about 145 kilometres northeast of the island of Aneityum, with winds of 165 kilometres an hour at its centre.

It is moving southwest at about 14 kilometres an hour.

Tafea residents urged to seek shelter as Ula nears

In its latest warning, the country's meteorological service says the category four system is currently about 235 kilometres east of Tanna, and 185 kilometres east-northeast of Aneityum.

The cyclone is moving in a southwest direction at 11 kilometres an hour, with winds of 165 kilometres an hour at its centre.

Fears an intensifying Ula may hit Vanuatu's Tafea

Tanna was one of the areas worst-hit by the category five cyclone Pam in March last year, and has been suffering from the impacts of drought caused by this year's El Niño system.

A forecaster at Vanuatu's meteorological service, Ellen Luke, says the system is currently about 500 kilometres east of Tafea province, and predicted to move to the south before it reaches the islands.
