Three tropical cyclones are churning in the South Pacific at the same time, satellite images show, in a rare occurrence for the region.

Tropical cyclones Rae, Seru and Alfred formed over five days and are still spinning in a stretch off the eastern coast of Australia and around 8,000 kilometers into the Pacific, where the cyclone season is reaching its peak.
