   Tropical Cyclone Jobo was spinning towards Tanzania on April 23, 2021
   when the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer acquired a
   true-color image of the storm. Jobo sported a dense, cloud-filled
   center and convective bands covered the Aldabra group of islands, part
   of the Outer Islands of the Seychelles. The borders of four islands
   that make up the Aldabra group have been outlined in this image.
   Tropical Cyclone Jobo’s outer bands stretched almost to the Tanzanian
   coast.

   At 0.00 UTC on April 23 (8:00 p.m. EDT April 22), the center of
   Tropical Cyclone Jobo was located about 155 miles 9250 km) north of
   Comoros Island and 292 miles (470 km) east of the Tanzania coast.
   Maximum sustained winds were reported to be 52 mph (83 km/h), which is
   the equivalent of a Tropical Storm in the Atlantic Basin.

   Tropical Storm Jobo weakened as it moved toward Tanzania, making
   landfall early on April 25 local time (late April 24 EDT) as a
   deteriorating depression. At 2100 UTC (5:00 p.m. EDT) on April 24, the
   Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC) issued its final report on Tropical
   Cyclone Jobo. At that time the storm was still off the coast of
   Tanzania and was carrying maximum sustained winds of 25 mph (40 km/h).
   JTWC expected the remnants of the system to track inland for the next
   12 hours, bringing heavy rain to Tanzania.
