Just one to keep an eye out for in the North Coral Sea over the next few days
There is a broad area of low pressure related with a monsoonal trough is that is currently located over the northern Coral Sea. The BOM computer forecast models show that a low pressure system could develop over the northern Coral Sea during Thursday and then move westwards on Friday.
So there may be a little action up here again. I still feel that next couple of weeks will see an increase in activity up in QLD, with a high possibility of a cyclone forming. I know that BOM feel that at this current point in time, the chance is very low, but I think it will buck the trend, and La Nina will come into play.
The weather patterns right around the world seem to be shifting and changing, with Australia being no exception to the rule. We talk about cycles, 10 Year storms, 25 Year storms, 50 and 100 year storms. But in reality, we technically in Australia, only have records for short period in history, from when they were officially first kept.
It is of interest to note that in the last 9 years in Brisbane we have at least 3/ once in a hundred year storms, announced by the media and others. Is it 100 years from that exact date or is it they are only supposed to occur once every century.
