Maputo - Mozambique's northern coastal towns have been placed on blue alert as authorities fear a tropical cyclone could hit late on Wednesday, Vista News reported.

In a press release, the national weather service said the coastal districts in Cabo Delgado, Nampula and Zambezia provinces could be affected by tropical Cyclone Jaya.

Cyclone Jaya was located on Tuesday afternoon on the coast of Madagascar heading for Mozambique.

It is expected to bring winds of up to 50km per hour when it hits the coast on Wednesday night.
