...cyclone season starts when?

[AussieMark]

November 1 - April 30

the season outlook from Perth comes out in 2nd week of October

and Darwin and Brisbane release there outlooks around the start of the cyclone season usually on morning of November 1

[JonathanBelles]

[AussieMark]

they all start same time

just Perth release their outlook 2 weeks before Darwin and Brisbane

Also realize that the naming convention for the southern hemisphere also turns to a new season during the middle of winter, which down there is July 1. So, if a storm were to form down there today, it would be given the first name from the 2007 list, as that basin is currently in the 2007 cyclone season.

ok thanx cuz on wiki i was finding oct 1st and july 1st.

[P.K.]

Actually checking a bit further it states the season runs until the 15th May for the eastern part (east of 55E) of the SW Indian Ocean.

The 1st July is just when the year begins for numbering tropical cyclones being the second month of the winter.

Wiki is not completely accurate

Also note that like WPAC, storms can occur in the Southern Hemisphere all months of the year.

[JonathanBelles]

have there been any in the 2006-07 season yet?

another question: of the 8 basins, north indian, southwest indian, perth, darwin, port moresby, brisbane, nadi, and wellington, which basin starts the earliest climatologically?

as you can tell im trying to learn as much as possible about the above basins.

[Ptarmigan]

Their season would start November 1 to April 30th.

[AussieMark]

in Australia Perth starts before Darwin and Brisbane do

they offically start November 1

but Perth is the basin where the first storms form usually.

in 1998 we had Cyclone Thelma at beginning of December which reached about the equivilant of a strong category 4
