Cyclone Warnings are in effect for parts of Western Australia today as a new cyclone takes shape just offshore. The storm is expected to intensify a little and make landfall as a moderate tropical storm (Category 1-2 AU scale) to the east of Cockatoo Island and Derby. The storm is likely to drop up to 200mm of rainfall over a fairly wide area at landfall and inland later on, whilst unrelated rains continue to affect large parts of the interior of Queensland to the east.

A new tropical cyclone is forming in the eastern Indian Ocean, not far from the coast of Western Australia. With its circulation becoming more apparant today, the new cyclone is expected to start strengthening considerably, and is likely to reach a Category 2 peak on the Saffir Simpson Scale (Category 3 or 4 AU). Thankfully, the storm does not pose a large threat to land, with its small size and anticipated movement parallel to the coast. Rainfall is also expected to be light, but rough seas and

Another cyclone could be on its way to forming near the Gulf of Carpentaria late this week and into the weekend, although projections show that it will remain weak if it forms at all. The disturbance is currently located off the Indonesian side of New Guinea, and is expected to drift southwards towards the Northern Territory this weekend. Only a modest peak is expected, and the storm should subside by early next week. Elsewhere, no areas of interest are active or expected in the next five days.

A new tropical cyclone could be forming near Grand Terre in the Seychelles, and will head towards the Comoros islands and then onto the east coast of Tanzania in a somewhat rare late-season formation. The potential cyclone is expected to reach winds of around 50 miles per hour when it approaches Grand Comore later this week, and is likely to deliver storm force winds to the island, which is the most populated of the Comoros.

Whilst intensifying quickly at first, the storm peaked earlier today and is now succumbing to heavy wind shear as it turns back towards the northwest.

The storm is likely to reach hurricane status by the time it arrives tomorrow, with strong winds and heavy flooding rains possible for Sava and Diana provinces. The model forecast has shifted westwards today, further implicating the island of Mayotte, which was heavily impacted by Cyclone Chido last month.
