Gone. Cy10 E-Mail

AoI: South-southwest of Bali
BoM liking this one, so they have gone with high chance. &mdash;12R.KIEWII 08:22, March 9, 2012 (UTC)

95S.INVEST
Now an invest.&mdash; Cy10 E-Mail  21:01, March 9, 2012 (UTC)

Probably will be Daphne if I am correct.Allanjeffs 01:40, March 10, 2012 (UTC)

Nope. That's 96P.&mdash; Cy10 E-Mail  02:04, March 10, 2012 (UTC)

Tropical Cyclone Lua
Well this one sprung up on us, only expected to peak as a TS as of now, but Western Australia should watch out nevertheless. Ryan1000 13:42, March 13, 2012 (UTC)

Expected to peak as a 75 kt C3 cyclone. &mdash;12R.KIEWII 16:06, March 13, 2012 (UTC)

So now Lua It will probably one of the last of the season we can have fun while it is alive even though I am sorry that it will make landfall and bring heavy rains over Australia they need to keep an eye on her.Allanjeffs 19:16, March 13, 2012 (UTC)

For your comment beow Ryan I think Lua has possibillity to become an intense cyclone I usually like cycones that explode but Because it looks like it will be making landfall in Australia am not cheering for her maybe Mitchell if we have him will be a different story.Allanjeffs 03:48, March 14, 2012 (UTC)


 * 17U won't develop; it's inland now. Allan, regarding Lua, it's forecast to only become a 90-100 mph cyclone at it's peak (a C3 on the Australian scale, per what Kiewii said above)^ That could still be destructive, but I don't think it will bomb out to a cat 3 or 4 on SSHS. Still, the folks near Broome, maybe Port Headland, should watch out for this pesky little sh!t. I don't like the looks of this thing. Ryan1000 13:44, March 14, 2012 (UTC)

Well actually it is now expected to peak as a 90 kt C4 cyclone. &mdash;12R.KIEWII 16:30, March 14, 2012 (UTC)

Lua looks a bit like Cyclone George of 2007 in terms of it's current forecast track and (potential) peak strength, but it formed in a different area. It may pose a threat as severe as George or Laurence, but this will be no Yasi or Tracy. Still, the folks in Western Australia better keep their eye out for this thing. Ryan1000 20:14, March 14, 2012 (UTC)

I knew that she was going to intensify into a big system they better be prepare the folks in Australia.Allanjeffs 20:45, March 14, 2012 (UTC)

Yeah, this one looks a lot like George. It will probrably make landfall at Port Headland (well, now it's called South Headland), by this Friday or Saturday. I would not expect anyone to die though; even Cyclone Yasi, Australia's costliest cyclone ever, didn't kil anyone directly in it's path. I don't expect anyone to perish after this storm either, assuming everyone heeds the evacuation orders. Ryan1000 23:38, March 14, 2012 (UTC)

That depends Ryan because even Yasi that was strong didn`t kill a lot of people look Grant it was weaker and kill more so Lua could still be very nasty.Allanjeffs 00:07, March 15, 2012 (UTC)


 * Lua looks great on satellite. -- &mdash; Cy10 00:52, March 15, 2012 (UTC)
 * In case anyone's wondering, with Lua, the 2011-12 AUS season is now just over halfway to average (7 tropical cyclones). It'll be interesting to see what she'll do to Australia. Andrew444  Talk  Blog  Contributions  01:42, March 15, 2012 (UTC)

BoM have issued a cyclone warning for Mardle up to Bldyadanga as Lua is expected to make landfall as a C3 cyclone. &mdash;12R.KIEWII 09:23, March 15, 2012 (UTC)

I agree people don't take weak storms as seriously as they do strong ones (which was why Washi ended up so bad). However, since Lua will be a large, threatening storm, I would expect the deaths from Lua (if any) to be indirect. I think the folks in WA will take this one pretty seriously. Grant was a slower-moving, more persistent storm, so flooding was a big concern with him, leading to the loss of life. Yasi was Australia's Katrina in terms of damage, but coastal storm surge was the top threat from Yasi, not inland flooding like it is with slower, weaker storms. Regarding the track, Lua seems to be heading more to the east of Port Headland, so the folks in Pardoo could get the eyewall from this cyclone. That's not good. By the time it makes landfall, it might only be a cat 1 (on SSHS), but still, it could cause some pretty extensive damages. Ryan1000 20:17, March 15, 2012 (UTC)

Severe Tropical Cyclone Lua
Now a severe tropical cyclone. -- Cy10  01:47, March 16, 2012 (UTC)

Now a C4. -- Cy10  23:11, March 16, 2012 (UTC)

she is becoming very dangerous and if you see tropical low 17 that is actually inland looks like a tropical storm.Allanjeffs 00:22, March 17, 2012 (UTC)

Tropical Cyclone Lua (2nd time)
Lua has made landfall and back to a C2. Cy10 E-Mail  14:02, March 17, 2012 (UTC)


 * JTWC has issued the last advisory on Lua. Cy10 E-Mail  18:38, March 17, 2012 (UTC)


 * And now down to a C1. Cy10 E-Mail  23:54, March 17, 2012 (UTC)

Ex-Tropical Cyclone Lua
And gone!-- Cy10 E-Mail  04:23, March 18, 2012 (UTC)
 * It's not gone, it has just weakened below tropical cyclone intensity. &mdash;12R.KIEWII 12:40, March 18, 2012 (UTC)


 * Now it is. Cy10 E-Mail  18:58, March 18, 2012 (UTC)

Remnants of Lua
Well if it has gone, you put 'Remnants of Lua' as the heading. &mdash;12R.KIEWII 19:05, March 18, 2012 (UTC)

Tropical Low 17U
We'll be lucky to get a named storm out of this one.&mdash; Cy10 00:45, March 14, 2012 (UTC)

Hm? Why put two signatures? Anyways, this storm, if it becomes Mitchell (which i'm not expecting), we'd be a tad above average. Lua probrably might become a C1 or 2 at most (on SSHS). Ryan1000 01:59, March 14, 2012 (UTC)

They better not waste another name like they did with Fina. Allanjeffs 03:45, March 14, 2012 (UTC)

It is now inland, so will not develop into a tropical cyclone. &mdash;12R.KIEWII 08:32, March 14, 2012 (UTC)

Advisories reinitiated, and there is a high chance of 17U developing into a TC. And Allan, this storm is offshore. &mdash;12R.KIEWII 00:24, March 17, 2012 (UTC)


 * 17U has made a second landfall, but expected to turn back to sea. -- Cy10  02:31, March 17, 2012 (UTC)


 * 17U is no longer expected to form into a TC. Cy10 E-Mail  18:59, March 18, 2012 (UTC)
 * TCFA canceled.-- Cy10 E-Mail  16:41, March 19, 2012 (UTC)

14F.NONAME
It's in somewhere in the ocean.-- Cy10 04:11, March 17, 2012 (UTC)

Tropical Depression 14F
Yeah.. obviously. This depression formed last night and has a low chance of becoming Daphne. &mdash;12R.KIEWII 09:52, March 17, 2012 (UTC)


 * 14F is forecasted to move out of RSMC Nadi later today. Cy10 E-Mail  14:35, March 17, 2012 (UTC)
 * It already has. &mdash;12R.KIEWII 18:54, March 17, 2012 (UTC)

Subtropical Storm 14F
I have no idea whether it is a depression or a storm (since TCWC Wellington say 30 kt and 40 kt). However, it is subtropical based on what the TCWC say. &mdash;12R.KIEWII 16:11, March 18, 2012 (UTC)

Yeah so it is a subtropical storm, but we wont get this named since there aren't any official advisories, and there never will be. Anyway, see track here. &mdash;12R.KIEWII 19:10, March 18, 2012 (UTC)

Winds now at 50 kt, expected to ease to 35 kt in the next 6 hrs. Producing near 200 mm of rain over the North Island of New Zealand. ASCAT pass. &mdash;12R.KIEWII 00:29, March 19, 2012 (UTC)

Too bad...we didn't get Daphne. Andrew Talk To Me  Contribs  Mail Me  22:04, March 19, 2012 (UTC)

Extratropical Cyclone 14F
It's gone. Cy10 E-Mail  06:05, March 20, 2012 (UTC)


 * Stop making up a bunch of crap, its clearly still there. &mdash;12R.KIEWII 16:03, March 20, 2012 (UTC)

Tropical Disturbance 15F
Another disturbance.-- Cy10 E-Mail  19:43, March 20, 2012 (UTC)

How about we give some more details on the storm instead of adding boring stuff? This disturbance is moving southeast with a central pressure of 1004 hPa. This low moved into TCWC Wellington's area of responsibility earlier. &mdash;12R.KIEWII 21:00, March 20, 2012 (UTC)

I'm not too confident we will se Daphne here, and if we do, it will likely be only weak. The South Pacific is really running out of time. They only have 40 days to get to Daphne and tie all-time record low for number of named storms with the 2003-04 season, with only 2 forming in the basin (discounting crossovers). However, 2003-04 had both of it's two storms become major storms; Cyclone Heta caused massive damage in the Samoa Islands in early January of 2004 when it hit with winds of 160 mph, and Ivy wrecked Vanuatu. Both of them became retired, but this year is the SPac's replica of 1914 in the Atlantic. I'd be surprised if we get to Evan at this point, to be honest. Ryan1000 21:13, March 20, 2012 (UTC)

I have a question which was the last tropical cyclone to make landfall in New Zealand as tropical cyclone not counting extratropical.Allanjeffs 03:57, March 21, 2012 (UTC)

I don't recall New Zealand ever being hit by a tropical cyclone, but the remnants of storms can still cause significant damage there. Bola of March 1988 was probrably the most severe storm in the island's history, but it was more of a non-tropical cyclone when it affected them, and it never (officially) made landfall. Ryan1000 08:53, March 21, 2012 (UTC)

It's gone. Cy10 E-Mail  04:06, March 23, 2012 (UTC)

(continuing discussion) Didn't Wilma hit them last year? It says so here. -- Andrew Talk To Me  Contribs  Mail Me  22:48, March 31, 2012 (UTC)


 * Yes, but it didn't make landfall in New Zealand. Cy10 E-Mail  23:22, March 31, 2012 (UTC)

Tropical Disturbance 16F
This one is near Samoa. Cy10 E-Mail  00:39, March 23, 2012 (UTC)

New invest. Cy10 E-Mail  05:44, March 25, 2012 (UTC)

Invest, Invest, Invest... Nothing wants to develop here. I think this year's season has pretty much wrapped up by now. The Australian region and SWIO are starting to calm down too. This one could become Daphne, but I won't count on it. Ryan1000 14:21, March 25, 2012 (UTC)

Tropical Disturbance 17F
Now a disturbance.-- Cy10 E-Mail  01:12, March 26, 2012 (UTC)

!!!!!Will die soon!!! I say it and its going to happen.Allanjeffs 04:04, March 28, 2012 (UTC)


 * Mmm hmmm. It looks nothing like an organized storm on sattelite. I expect nothing much out of this too. Ryan1000 13:34, March 27, 2012 (UTC)
 * Just popping in to say this, but models are predicting this to deepen to 980 mb before it becomes extratropical. &mdash;12R.KIEWII 14:56, March 27, 2012 (UTC)

Tropical Depression 17F
You spoke too soon, Allanjeffs.-- Cy10 E-Mail  02:09, March 28, 2012 (UTC)

Until it become a name storm I will eat my words.Allanjeffs 04:05, March 28, 2012 (UTC)

It looks like it's getting it's act together a little bit, but it will likely not become very strong as it approaches wind shear south of the circulation in the next few days. I wouldn't be very surprised if we get Daphne now. Ryan1000 01:08, March 29, 2012 (UTC)

Remnants of 17F
And gone...-- Cy10 E-Mail  23:48, March 30, 2012 (UTC)

Remnants of 18F
And gone. Cy10 E-Mail  23:26, March 31, 2012 (UTC)

Tropical Depression 19F
Sustained 10-min winds at 20 kts, a HIGH chance of becoming a tropical cyclone. &mdash;12R.KIEWII 08:01, March 31, 2012 (UTC)

Lol I thought you retired? :P Anyways, even if we do get Daphne, we will still have an all-time record low for the SPac this year, and even so, I don't expect much else to come out of this one anyways. The WPac is the only basin that is (really) awake with Pakhar, but it's just sitting around in the South China Sea causing heavy rains with it's outer rainbands. It may hit Southern Vietnam in the next few days. Ryan1000 15:15, March 31, 2012 (UTC)

Since Cyril die this system has the highest probability of getting name.Allanjeffs 05:37, April 1, 2012 (UTC)

Tropical Cyclone Daphne
The second name storm of the season in this basin has come to life and probably be the last of the remaing inactive year we have.Allanjeffs 04:37, April 2, 2012 (UTC)

True, and it's still a record low for this basin. It might not even be stronger than Cyril. But at least the SPac got to squeeze in one more named storm. Ryan1000 04:53, April 2, 2012 (UTC)

Extratropical Cyclone Daphne
Now extratropical.-- Cy10 E-Mail  19:57, April 3, 2012 (UTC)
