  6. Mature stage of tropical cyclone Eline

  7. Reasons that caused Cyclone Eline to Dissipate: The Cyclone crossed onto the land and was cut off from the ocean which was fueling the storm. Increased surface friction caused the storm to slow. Came in contact with the Kalahari High Pressure System, where conditions promote system decay!
