From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Tropical lows are the lowest classification on the Australian tropical cyclone intensity scale. Over the years, Australian region tropical cyclones have failed to organize into Category 1 tropical cyclones, the most recent being Tropical Disturbance 12U of 2021.

Background

[edit]

The Australian region tropical cyclone basin is located to the south of the Equator between 90°E and 160°E.[1] The basin is officially monitored by the Australian Bureau of Meteorology, Papua New Guinea's National Weather Service as well as Indonesia's Badan Meteorologi Klimatologi dan Geofisika. Other meteorological services such as the Fiji Meteorological Service, the New Zealand MetService, Météo-France as well as the United States Joint Typhoon Warning Center also monitor the basin.[1] Within the basin a tropical low is a disturbance with a defined circulation, where the central position can be estimated, and the maximum 10-minute average wind speed is less than 34 kn (39 mph; 63 km/h) near the centre.[1]
