The Australian Weather Forum

Hi guys! Just thought I should say I'll be taking a holiday tomorrow for a week. I also haven't posted here in a few days.
BUT, rest assured I have been gathering screenshots when I remember, so next week, expect a huge wad of images!

See you soon!

These images were taken after midnight sorry. On the upside, if you're in WA, it was only 29mins after midnight!

This system has been upgraded to a Category 1 cyclone (45kn sustained), and was named TC Megan.

This one's taking its time to develop. The forecast track map says that this will become a Cat 1 on March 19.

This looks like it'll be a good cyclone! This system should get the name Megan, if it beats 08U to cyclone status. Otherwise it will be Neville.

BoM has discontinued forecasts for this system, meaning they no longer expect it to become a TC.

Because we don't have enough TLs! Again, not much info, it should form later tonight. Have a read of the TC forecast.

Any news on this Low.. ?

Yesterday media claimed had formed
Today radio claims forming today.
I can’t see info re this ?

Sorry for the late reply, but I'm going to point you to this Wikipedia article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2023%E2%80%9324_Australian_region_cyclone_season#Tropical ...

TL 09U
Just formed, thought while I was on here I'd make a post.
Pretty much, all the information we have is BoM's forecast:

Low risk of a tropical cyclone for the Timor Sea or Gulf of Carpentaria.
The monsoon is strengthening over waters near the north Australian coast.
A tropical low may ...

Tropical Low 08U.
I find it quite interesting as 09U formed very close only days later.
It's been on my radar for a while now but seeing as this is the first day of JTWC reports and BoM Tech Reports, I thought it's about time I make a post.

Oddly enough, the wind speed would dictate this to be a ...
