Thanks Trevor, the Japanese JAXA team are looking at the dark circular area , it's possibly an equatorially-trapped Kelvin wave but doesn't really fit their known data.
Just had an email from the Akatsuki mission team they are going to try using the LIR camera which uses thermal emission sensors and can track the dark spot over the night side if it is heat related. Interesting planet Venus with it's heat and sulphuric acid clouds which charge across the surface right to left.
