[48] Upon landfall, Channel Point was hardest hit, with rainfall peaking at 145 mm (5.71 in). [23] Thereafter, 14U moved over cooler waters causing deep convection to dissipate, and both the JTWC and BoM issued their final advisories on 28 January.[24][25]. [60] As a result of the widespread and devastating impacts of Severe Tropical Cyclone Debbie, the Bureau of Meteorology officially retired the name Debbie from its naming list. [65] At 03:00 UTC on 10 April, the low pressure system was located approximately 415 km (260 mi) offshore from Darwin, and was tracking southwards at approximately 9 km/h (6 mph). Cyclone Trevor made landfall as … [14] The system was given a "moderate" chance of strengthening into a tropical cyclone during the next day,[81] however the system remained over land while moving southwest and did not develop further. Yasa would "easily surpass" the strength of 2016's Cyclone Winston, Bainimarama said, referring to the Southern Hemisphere's most intense tropical storm on … Caleb developed slowly over the next 48 hours as it drifted towards the south. Cyclone Winston: Australian holidaymakers 'feared for their lives' in Fiji's category five storm By Yara Murray-Atfield Updated February 21, 2016 17:23:12 Throughout its lifetime, Severe Tropical Cyclone Ernie remained over the Indian Ocean, far to the northwest of Western Australia and east of Christmas Island and the Cocos (Keeling) Islands. [12][13], Tropical Low 05U developed over land near Borroloola in the Northern Territory during 21 December. [34] TCWC Darwin began issuing advisories on the tropical low at 00:00 UTC on 4 March. [4], In addition to contributing towards the Island Climate Update outlook, the BoM issued seven seasonal forecasts during October 2015, for the Australian region and the Southern Pacific with each forecast covering the whole tropical cyclone year. Reasons for the low activity during the year included a positive Indian Ocean Dipole occurring and the 2014–16 El Niño event. It generated winds of up to 330kph at its strongest. Australian Government Bureau of Meteorology Western Australia. [53][56] Severe flooding also occurred in the Logan, Albert and Tweed Rivers, inundating Logan and parts of northern New South Wales, such as Murwillumbah and Lismore. Cyclone Winston in 2016 was the last category five cyclone to hit Fiji. By the next day, it had moved north into TCWC Jakarta's area of responsibility. The 2015–16 Australian region cyclone season was the least active tropical cyclone season since reliable records started during 1969, with only three named tropical cyclones developing in the region. Death:1 - $3 Millions Australia - description: Uriah was the second storm of the season and was considered category 1 because qu formed very close to the Australian … 2 cyclones in total for Northern region with 1 possibly severe. [40] Around 03:00 UTC that day, Blanche moved ashore a largely uninhabited region of western Australia, the latest instance of the country's first tropical cyclone landfall for any season on record. This satellite image released by Australia's Bureau of Meteorology shows cyclone Larry over northeastern Australia Sunday, March 19, 2006. [62] The cyclone was downgraded below severe tropical cyclone status by 12:00 UTC on 9 April, and further to Category 1 status by 00:00 UTC the next day. The remnants of Stan caused record breaking rain in South Australia. The cyclone damaged 23 transmission towers, which triggered statewide power outages with parts of the state left without power for several days (Burns et al. Over the next few days, the system moved slowly in an area of weak steering flow as it struggled to develop further before it started moving turned to the southwest during 12 February. Early on 23 March, a tropical low in a monsoon trough developed approximately 240 km (150 mi) north of the Cocos Islands. [79] On 9 December, a tropical low developed within the monsoon trough and moved slowly westwards. As the 2015–16 tropical cyclone year opened on … 11 Sep 2016 Originally published 31 Aug 2016. [42] Land observations indicated that the system weakened below tropical cyclone intensity by 09:00 UTC. [1][14][24] The system subsequently moved back into the Australian region during 4 July, as it moved through the Solomon Islands. [88] The system had moved in a westerly direction until it was last noted on 22 February.[89]. During the season a total of 3 tropical cyclones received a name from BoM, either by TCWC Perth, Darwin, or Brisbane, when the system was judged to have 10-minute sustained windspeeds of 65 km/h (40 mph). After Cyclone Larry banana prices jumped a staggering 250 per cent contributing to inflation and interest rate rises across Australia. A tropical cyclone formed off the northwestern coast of Australia Monday, threatening the town of Broome with destructive 125 kilometres (80 miles) per hour winds, meteorologists said. [43], Prior to becoming a tropical cyclone, the precursor tropical low to Blanche led to a 24-hour record-breaking 384 mm (15.12 in) of rainfall on Point Fawcett in the Tiwi Islands, surpassing the previous record of 265.2 mm (10.44 in) set by Cyclone Carlos in 2011. The system dissipated on the next day. Australian Government Bureau of Meteorology Western Australia. [51] Post analysis determined that the system briefly reached tropical cyclone intensity just before making landfall. Total economic losses from the cyclone reached A$3.5 billion (US$2.67 billion USD). Category 1 strength hurricane-force winds formed around 9:30 am AWST the same day, near Rowley Shoales where Stan was 100 km south of the island. 08U was subsequently declared a Category 1 tropical cyclone on 29 January and was named Stan by the BoM. [26], A low-pressure developed east of the 90th meridian east or the border of the basin on 26 December, and had a moderate chance of intensifying into a tropical cyclone. The JTWC also initiated advisories on the system during that day and designated it as Tropical Cyclone 13S. It was also noted that Category 5 severe tropical cyclones, with 10-minute sustained windspeeds of 196 km/h (122 mph) were known to occur during El Nino events. The northwest coast within Western Australia is the most common area for cyclones to occur within the nation due to the temperature shifts that result in warm, moist air. Over the last decade, the country has experienced several tropical cyclone events that each caused more than US$500 million in loss to the (re)insurance industry. Each one of these forecasts was for the entire tropical cyclone year between July 2016 and June 2017 took into account various factors, including the latest neutral to weak La Niña conditions that had been observed in the tropical Pacific Ocean. Several thousand square miles of forest was wiped out, but no injuries were reported.Most recent cyclone: Tropical Cyclone Stan in 2016 had winds of 80 mph just before landfall. [2] TCWC Perth also noted that there was a likelihood of two tropical cyclones and a significant likelihood of at least one severe tropical cyclone impacting Western Australia. [53] The torrential rainfall in the region caused the overflowing of the Pioneer River, and the subsequent need for nearly 100 people to be rescued from floodwaters in western Mackay. A tropical low formed off the Pilbara coastline near Broome on 7 February and slowly strengthened while moving westwards. [86], Tropical Low 18U developed on 16 February off the western coast of Kimberley. With the official season running from November 1 to April 30 each year, an average of ten cyclones typically develop over Australian waters with around six making landfall, and on average, the … Australia's Bureau of Meteorology hasn't named this system in the Indian Ocean (referring to it simply as Tropical Low 02U), but the US military's Joint Typhoon Warning Center is calling it Tropical Cyclone 03. Australian region tropical cyclone warnings, forecasts, seasonal outlooks, cyclone history, climatology and related information She's so hot, there's no breeze unless it storms. They're prepping for … I'm having to lie down with her and feed to sleep as there's literally no other way to … The 2016-17 Australian region cyclone season was a slightly above average season that lasted from October 2016 to May 2017. During 29 April, Tropical Low 30U developed about 755 km (470 mi) to the north-east of the Cocos Islands, within an area of warm sea surface temperatures and low vertical wind shear. Save the Children said lessons had been learned from Winston in 2016 and Fijians were taking cyclone preparation seriously. [8] The agency declared to be a tropical low by the next day when it was producing convection in its area. Fiji has been warned to prepare for category-5 tropical Cyclone Yasa, which is expected to directly hit the Pacific Island state in coming days. Ahead of the cyclone season, the FMS, the BoM, Meteo France, New Zealand's MetService and National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research (NIWA) and various other Pacific Meteorological services, all contributed towards the Island Climate Update tropical cyclone outlook that was released during October 2015. Port Hedland Airport recorded a period of gale-force winds with a peak wind gust of 94 km/h.[52]. Ex-Tropical Cyclone Debbie caused widespread damage, especially due to extremely high rainfall totals, as it tracked down the Queensland coast. The 2015–16 Australian region cyclone season was the least active tropical cyclone season since reliable records started during 1969, with only three named tropical cyclones developing in the region. The first named storm, Yvette, developed during 21 December, and the final named storm, Greg, left the region on 3 May as a remnant low. [53] South of Mackay, the Plane Creek Sugar Mill in Sarina recorded at least 1,300 mm (51 in) of rainfall. The 2016-17 Australian region cyclone season will be remembered primarily as an exceptionally slow starter that eventually went on to produce a slightly below-average season in terms of activity. These reports have mainly been compiled using original material produced soon after the cyclone occurred. The season only had 2 storms that did not make it to cyclone status, a record low number in the Australian basin. [38] At 00:00 UTC on 6 March, TCWC Darwin upgraded Blanche to a Category 2 cyclone on the Australian tropical cyclone intensity scale, with 10-minute sustained winds of 95 km/h (60 mph) and a minimum barometric pressure of 988 hPa (29.18 inHg); this marked the cyclone's official peak intensity. [22] Slowly intensifying, 14U reached peak intensity with winds of 85 km/h (50 mph) and a minimum pressure of 988 hPa (mbar; 29.17 inHg), though the system was never classified as a tropical cyclone by BoM due to its asymmetry. As the 2015-16 tropical cyclone year opened on 1 July 2015, the newly named Tropical Cyclone Raquel moved south-westward into the Australian region. Embedded within a moderate to high wind shear regime, the system was expected to track south or southwest into a more favourable environment over subsequent days. [31] Over the next couple of days, the system moved north-eastwards and tried to develop further in a marginally conducive environment for further development. World News | Reuters | Monday February 29, 2016 . The season was the first to have a severe tropical cyclone since the 2014–15 season. During the season only three tropical cyclones developed within the Australian region, which meant that the season was considered to be the least active season since reliable records started in 1969. 90 of which had been named by either a Regional Specialized Meteorological Center (RSMC) or a Tropical Cyclone Warning Center (TCWC). On the night of 15 February, a tropical low had formed near Borroloola. About four-and-a-half months later, on 3 May, the season concluded when Ex-Tropical Cyclone Greg moved out of the basin. As the system turned to the west-southwest, it encountered increased wind shear, dryer air and cooler sea surface temperatures, and began to weaken. A tropical low off Western Australia's Pilbara coast officially develops into the first cyclone of the season, with forecasters saying could hit land over the Christmas weekend. Tropical cyclone Ita crossed Queensland near Cape Flattery on 11 April 2014 as a Category 4 storm, with wind gusts of up to 230 kilometres per hour. Frances reached Category 3 severe tropical cyclone strength by the afternoon of 28 April, just 24 hours after reaching tropical cyclone intensity. Over the next couple of days, the system moved south-westwards and gradually developed further as it moved into the Timor Sea, where it reached its peak intensity with 10-minute sustained winds of 55 km/h (35 mph) and a minimum pressure of 995 hPa (29.38 inHg). Australian region tropical cyclone warnings, forecasts, seasonal outlooks, cyclone history, climatology and related information "People are not roaming around. Stan continued to intensify during the day as it slowly moved in a southeast direction towards the east Pilbara coast. The system was downgraded to a tropical low at about 17:00 UTC, and began to accelerate while making a gradual transition to a southeasterly course. South Australia The 2016-17 Australian region cyclone season was a slightly above average season that lasted from October 2016 to May 2017. A positive Indian Ocean Dipole event caused cooler-than-normal waters in tropical eastern Indian Ocean, near Indonesia, which in turn limited development near Western Australia during the first part of the season. Designed for comfort and quality, Cyclone tools are built tough to last a lifetime. Tropical cyclones and subtropical cyclones are named by various warning centers to provide ease of communication between forecasters and the general public regarding forecasts, watches, and warnings. [58] Overall, Ex-Tropical Cyclone Debbie broke rainfall records at 62 weather stations in Queensland. On average, there are 9 to 11 tropical cyclones each season in the Australian region, four of which typically cross the coast. Ernie weakened below cyclone intensity by 06:00 UTC on 10 April, however gales persisted on the southern side of the system for a number of hours due to the steep pressure gradient caused by a high pressure ridge to the south. [53] The system intensified to a Category 1 tropical cyclone on the Australian tropical cyclone intensity scale at 00:00 UTC on 25 March, and was subsequently named Debbie. [16] Despite unfavourable atmospheric conditions in the area, 09U persisted, tracking slowly eastward until it was last noted early on 15 January, located about 900 km (560 mi) to the east of Christmas Island. [82], On 7 January, a tropical low developed just off the northern Queensland coast, although the system weakened to a low-pressure during the next day. [66] Consequently, the tropical low never attained cyclone intensity, peaking with 10-minute sustained winds of 55 km/h (35 mph) and a central pressure of 998 hPa. In accordance with satellite intensity estimates, the TCWC Darwin upgraded the low to Tropical Cyclone Blanche. [1][25] The system was subsequently last noted by the BoM to the southwest of Guadalcanal, on 5 July, as it rapidly lost its tropical characteristics. [2] For the Western region between 90°E and 125°E, the BoM forecast that the area would also see activity below its average of 7, with a 25% chance of an above average number of tropical cyclones occurring. [12][13], On 3 January, TCWC Perth started to monitor a tropical low to the northwest of the Western Region. 2016 p. xi; BoM 2016, p. 39). [55] Ex-Tropical Cyclone Debbie moved into the South East Queensland region on the afternoon of 30 March, and caused widespread rainfall of 150 mm (6 in) and wind gusts of up to 131 km/h (81 mph). [22] Over the next day, the system continued to develop and was named Tatiana by the BoM, as it developed into a Category 1 tropical cyclone. [3] The Western region between 142.5°E and 165°E was predicted to have a 15% chance of having an above average number of tropical cyclones, while the Eastern region between 165°E and 120°W was predicted to have a 48% chance of having an above average number of tropical cyclones.[3]. Large swells developed ahead of Ex-TC Winston on the Queensland coast with significant wave heights of 3-5m and wave period of around 15 seconds. Tropical Low 27U originated as a slow-moving area of low pressure in an active monsoon trough in the eastern Arafura Sea off the west coast of New Guinea on 6 April. Severe Tropical Cyclone Debbie in 2017 was the strongest tropical cyclone to strike Queensland since Marcia in 2015, and was the costliest tropical cyclone in Australia since Yasi in 2011.Forming as a tropical low on 23 March, the low gradually intensified to a named tropical cyclone on 26 March. Animation of the progress of all cyclones in the Australian region in the season 2016-17. [17], On 7 January, a weak tropical low had developed within a monsoonal trough of low pressure over the Cape York Peninsula, before moving into the Gulf of Carpentaria. [73] TCWC Perth also stated that it had a chance of becoming a tropical cyclone. [53] The river later peaked at 8.8 m (29 ft), flooding hundreds of properties in the Rockhampton area. The system made landfall as a low during 8 February near Karratha. [72] By 11 November, the JTWC classified it with a "low" chance of developing a tropical cyclone with scattered convection wrapping into its centre as it was located about 620 km (385 mi) to the northwest of the Cocos (Keeling) Islands. The system subsequently approached Darwin during 24 December, where it was causing near gale-force winds offshore. One of the most cyclone-prone areas within Australia is the coastal region of Western Australia. The first noted as it developed within a monsoon trough to the northwest of Christmas Island during 23 September, but was not expected to develop any further as it moved southwards towards the Australian territory. [2] It was forecast that the region would less active than during previous years, with a 91% chance of a below average amount of tropical cyclones, because of the strong El Niño episode that had developed over the Pacific Ocean. Stan maintained category 2 strength during the course of 30 January. [33][34] During 14 February a weak tropical low lied in an area of marginal conditions for further develop near Christmas Island. Tropical Cyclone Tatiana developed into a tropical cyclone, during 11 February while it was located over the Coral Sea. [20] After moving west-southwestward over land, the low gradually developed and was designated as 14U during 26 January. [50] At around 18:00 UTC on 21 March, the Bureau of Meteorology issued another forecast track map for Tropical Low 22U, which predicted the system to make landfall near Sherlock Station, halfway between Whim Creek and Roebourne, on the night of 23 March, at the initially predicted intensity of Category 1. [20][21] The system was located within a favorable environment for further development, with the low-level circulation center gradually consolidating, while deep atmospheric convection wrapped into the system. The tropical low strengthened slowly while moving westwards across the Arafura Sea. Over the next day, the system continued to move south-westwards and became a Category 2 tropical cyclone with 10-minute sustained winds of 95 km/h (60 mph). [20], On 1 March, BoM started monitoring a weak tropical low to the south of Java, Indonesia. These temperatures were in stark contrast to the eastern states of Australia, which were experiencing a major heatwave during the same time. Reasons for the low activity during the year included a positive Indian Ocean Dipole occurring and the 2014–16 El Niño event. This season was also the second-costliest tropical cyclone season on record in the Australian region basin, behind only the 2010–11 season, with a total of AUD$3.7 billion (US$2.82 billion) in damages incurred by the various storms, mostly from Cyclone Debbie.[1]. The low passed south of the Aru Islands during 24 and 25 April. Stan subsequently made landfall on Western Australia and impacted various commodities including oil, natural gas, and iron ore. The 2018–19 Australian region cyclone season was an average season that saw the formation of 11 tropical cyclones, six of which … [64] It initially tracked to the west-southwest while gradually intensifying before adopting a general southerly course. As the 2015–16 tropical cyclone year opened on 1 July 2015, the newly named Tropical Cyclone Raquel moved south-westward into the Australian region. However, the system was not mentioned again in their next advisory. [citation needed] The system was subsequently classified as Tropical Disturbance 03F on 29 November by the Fiji Meteorological Service before it was last noted during 30 November while located to the north of Noumea, New Caledonia. It was the strongest tropical cyclone of the 2017–18 Australian region cyclone season, as well as the strongest tropical cyclone in the Australian region basin since George in 2007. . During the night of 9 February the low linked up with a trough lying over the southwest of the country, resulting in both abnormally low temperatures and heavy rainfall across the region, with the area within 100 km of a line from Perth to Esperance the hardest hit. There has only been one list that the Bureau of Meteorology have assigned names to tropical cyclones since the 2008–09 season. The 2016–17 season opened with a tropical system in the Western Region on 23 September, just more than a month before the official start of the season. [60] In total, more than 72,000 calls for assistance were made after the cyclone, which is more than were made after Severe Tropical Cyclone Yasi in 2011. Two tropical cyclones have slammed into Australia, with Typhoon Lam hitting Northern Territory and Typhoon Marcia making landfall on the Gold Coast. By early 27 March, Caleb had weakened below cyclone strength due to a combination of dry air and cooler sea surface temperatures. The cyclone plays a significant cultural role and is a totem for the Jirrbal people of the rainforest near Tully. [54] As the low pressure system continued to move down the coast, the Fitzroy River region experienced 48-hour rainfall totals exceeding 1,000 mm (39 in) in many places. Tropical Cyclone Seasonal Outlook for Northwest Australia. During 2016, tropical cyclones formed within seven different tropical cyclone basins, located within various parts of the Atlantic, Pacific and Indian Oceans.During the year, a total of 143 tropical cyclones had formed this year. [30] During 19 January Tropical Low 07U developed within the monsoon trough of low pressure, about 300 km (185 mi) to the west of West Island in the Cocos (Keeling) Islands. [14][15] Over the next couple of days, the system gradually deepened further as it moved west-northwest inland and passed near Daly Waters and Katherine. [35] Over the next couple of days, environmental conditions surrounding the system became less favorable for further development, before the system was last noted during 16 February. [59] The majority of these fatalities resulted from the remnant low pressure system rather than the cyclone itself. After Tatiana dissipated four tropical lows occurred in the region before the season ended on 30 April, including the remnant tropical low of Severe Tropical Cyclone Winston. [69] However, during the next day, the chances of the system developing into a tropical cyclone weakened, as a moderate to high amount of vertical wind shear impacted the low. [18] The system was located within a favorable environment for further development and was forecast to develop into a tropical cyclone over the next couple of days, as it moved southwards towards the coast of Western Australia. [62] The cyclone was assigned the name Ernie – the seventh cyclone and sixth named storm of the season. Strong wind gusts of up to 95 km/h (60 mph) were recorded as well. [84], Similar to the previous system, another tropical low persisted over in the far northwest of the Western Region on 21 January. [3] They also noted that the number of significant cyclones and flood impacts had been well below average over the last five seasons. 11 Sep 2016 Originally published 31 Aug 2016. [41] Passing close but ultimately west of Darwin, officials opened three public shelters and urged citizens to shelter in place as conditions deteriorated. The United States' Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC) and other national meteorological services, including Météo-France, also monitored the basin during the season.
