Tropical Cyclones

Tropical cyclone in the Coral Sea

· by Michael Bath

Hi Jimmy

Spent most of the Australia Day weekend away from the PC with Sunday spent on the Northern Tablelands with Rodney seeking out the elusive storms. A bit of thunderstorm action up there but a low shear day like that would not noirmally have warranted such a drive – the very poor season continues.  With a tropical cyclone in the Coral Sea the patterns are unlikely to change for here with easterlies to dominate. The trough you get a bit of storm action from can barely make it this far north and the upper troughs just manage to enhance the coastal showers.
