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.

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.

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

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.

Their season would start November 1 to April 30th.

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
