      On March 30, 2023, the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer   
      (MODIS) on the Aqua satellite acquired a true-color image of Tropical   
      Cyclone Herman intensifying as it tracked towards Australia.   
      
      The storm formed near Cocos (Kelling) islands, a remote territory of   
      Australia in the Indian Ocean on March 28. By the end of the day on   
      March 30, maximum sustained winds had increased to 115 mph (185 km/h),   
      placing it as a Category 3 storm on the Saffir Simpson Hurricane Wind   
      Scale. Near the time the image was acquired, the strong storm was   
      located about 1,367 km (850 miles) northwest of Learmonth, Australia   
      and heading southeast, directly toward that location.   
      
      On March 31, Tropical Cyclone Herman reached peak strength, with   
      maximum sustained winds of 125 mph (201 km/h). Fortunately, the track   
      forecast by the Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC) has Herman slowing   
      forward motion as it weakens and turns away from Australia. By April 2,   
      the storm is expected to be a remnant low traveling northwest over the   
      open Indian Ocean.
