Re: 2017-18 SHEM Season
Based on what happened last year, I would tend to expect below average activity in the SWIO and SPAC and perhaps near average activity in the Australian Region. With a Weak La Niña we will likely see Southern Hemisphere ACE below average once again.

Been monitoring that area near Sumatra yesterday, it looks decent.
CMC develops it into a TC, Euro & GFS - not so much

Re: 2017-18 SHEM Season
Maybe the disturbance can just do enough to be named IF agencies notice it.

Veryyyyy far out
SOUTH PACIFIC
GFS is developing a cyclone on the end of the MT. If the model verify,
the system may be a lot stronger than currently being displayed on the run.
Strong High underneath, warm sst, shear is the only ?.

Re: 2017-18 SHEM Season
GFS has been consistently hitting WA with a strong cyclone in many runs.
Monsoon trough will likely futher lower with the high pressure moving over the continent.

Re: 2017-18 SHEM Season
We have seen another very slow start to the Southern Hemisphere cyclone season, similar to last year with only one JTWC-warned system and extremely low ACE.
However, it seems that the coming weeks may break the slow spell and accumulate significant ACE. GFS and other models are now showing a significant and potentially very intense cyclone (at least according to GFS) hitting Western Australia in the next week. I am not very experienced at posting model screenshots, but GFS is also indicating the potential for another cyclone to follow the first along Western Australia as well as potential cyclones in the Southwest Indian Ocean within the next two weeks (although those are still a ways out). There is currently convection in the Southwest Indian that the GFS eventually shows forming the first of these cyclones, and it shows it landfalling in Madagascar. I will stay attuned to future runs to see if GFS continues to show these cyclones.
The way the season has started, I would not place a large bet on a cyclone outbreak, but I am pretty confident that there will be at least a moderate cyclone in the Western Australia region within the coming week. If January is inactive once again, then something very strange is occurring, but I do not expect it to be as inactive as the nearly dead January 2017.

Re: 2017-18 SHEM Season
Here is the GFS for forecast hour 300 (January 2):
It shows the second intense cyclone off NW Australia and a moderate cyclone hitting northern Madagascar. The 1000-mb low to the east eventually deepens to 982 MB.
Any thoughts?

Tropical Cyclone Outlook for the Western Region
Issued at 2:09 pm WST on Friday 22 December 2017
for the period until midnight WST Monday 25 December 2017.
Existing Cyclones in the Western Region:
Nil.
Potential Cyclones:
A trough lies near 7S (just north of the Indonesian Archipelago). A tropical low is starting to form in the trough near 7S 122E and is forecast to move southwest over the weekend and may strengthen next week.
There is also a chance another tropical low develops in the trough well north of the Northern Territory over the weekend and then moves southwest. If it does develop, then there is a chance it strengthens next week.
These two systems increase the risk of a tropical cyclone for northern Western Australia after Christmas Day.
A weak low lies near the northern border of the Western Region near 10S 112E. It is expected to move slowly to the east and dissipate over the weekend.
reasonable chance for a tc hit.

Re: 2017-18 SHEM Season
The S Indian Ocean has been pretty active lately.
The SPac remains quiet so far though, with not even a single named/tropical storm since the season started. Models are not so enthusiastic either.
