Find Australia’s official cyclone, hurricane or typhoon information. This guide links to the responsible agency; it does not reproduce live local warnings.
Australian tropical cyclone forecasts
The Bureau of Meteorology publishes Australian tropical cyclone forecasts, track maps and advice. Its official tropical cyclone season runs November 1–April 30; rare out-of-season systems can occur.
Track map and warning areas
Read the watch or warning areas together with the forecast track map. The track concerns the center; rainfall, flooding and coastal conditions can extend farther away.
Different scales and products
Australian cyclone categories and warning products are defined by BOM. Do not directly substitute a U.S. hurricane category or NHC warning time. Use the Australian advice and local emergency instructions.
