Tropical Cyclone Ului is the first category 5 cyclone in the South Pacific basin this tropical storm season (2009-2010). According to the Earth Observatory, NASA, currently tropical cyclone Ului has maximum sustained winds of 55 knots (100 kilometers per hour) and gusts up to 70 knots (130 kilometers per hour).
