Ya lo comentábamos en el hilo de seguimiento de INVESTs... El sistema 93P había mejorado mucho su organización durante las últimas horas, y ya ha sido declarado depresión tropical, aunque su aspecto es de tormenta tropical, la verdad. Ronda Nueva Caledonia y todo ese grupo de islas al oeste de las Fiji.

Lo curioso de este ciclón es que, si no me equivoco, le toca el nombre de VINCE



Habrá que estudiar cuál es su trayectoria.

No era VINCE, sino VANIA el nombre que le corresponde
