Tropical Cyclone A tropical cyclone is a powerful low-pressure system forming over warm tropical oceans. When winds hit 62 kmph (34 knots) and pressure drops sharply, it evolves into a vast spinning storm — stretching 150 to 800 km across and moving up to 500 km a day! The term cyclone comes from the Greek word ‘cyclos’ meaning "coiling of a snake" coined by Henry Piddington in the 19th century. Region-wise, it's known as: Cyclone - Indian Ocean Hurricane - Atlantic Ocean Typhoon - Pacific Ocean

WEATHER UPDATE [12.00pm WST]: Tropical Cyclone Wallace formed off the WA coast in the early hours of this morning 🌀 It's the eighth cyclone to form in the Australian region this season.

There are three active tropical systems over the Coral Sea and south west Pacific Ocean, two of which are currently tropical cyclones. Tropical Cyclone Lucas is currently over the Coral Sea, south of Papua New Guinea as a Category 2 system (at 11am AEST). It will continue to move east, and then southeast, possibly impacting Vanuatu and New Caledonia as it moves through, however there is still uncertainty about the track. At this stage, it could reach a Severe Category 3 strength later on Monday.
