[22], The Bureau of Meteorology noted on 29 November that a low-pressure system located over the Solomon Islands had developed into a tropical low. Seasonal forecasts were issued for the basin as a whole, as well as the Eastern, Northern and Western regions and the North-Western sub-region. The low crossed into the South Pacific Basin and began intensifying into a tropical cyclone on February 11, earning the name Oma, and quickly reaching Category 2 tropical cyclone intensity. Ravaging storm on close approach CYCLONE Oma has been wreaking havoc in the South Pacific over the last few days. For the next several days, Oma continued drifting northeastward, weakening further into a subtropical depression on February 25. [71] Over the next few days, the intensity fluctuated, and the track shifted more to the southwest, due to a ridge over the Australian mainland. [118] As this pulse had tracked across the Indian Ocean during the preceding fortnight,[118] it had contributed to the favourable conditions which facilitated the intensification of Extremely Severe Cyclonic Storm Fani in the Bay of Bengal. Category:Cyclone Oma (2019) From Wikimedia Commons, the free media repository. Morrow. [57], In preparation for passage of Veronica, major shipping ports on the Pilbara coastline were forced to cease operations in the interests of safety. [119][120] Over the next few days, the tropical low slowly moved southward over the Banda Sea while its central barometric pressure gradually deepened. [72][79], Following a decrease in wind shear, Wallace intensified further, developing symmetrical convection over the center, as well as primitive eye feature. At its peak, Ann was a Category 2 tropical cyclone, and was the strongest storm to form in the Australian region during May since Severe Tropical Cyclone Rhonda in 1997. Full article here – https://stabmag.com/stabcinema/watch-the-best-and-biggest-day-of-oma-so-far/ Tropical cyclones named by TCWC Jakarta are normally rare; however this was the second season in a row in which at least two names were used. [33] Maintaining its westward motion, the system emerged over the Gulf of Carpentaria very early in the morning of 31 December, crossing the Queensland coast between Aurukun and Weipa, where generally favourable conditions fuelled intensification. [2], Both the Island Climate Update and the FMS tropical cyclone outlooks assessed the risk of a tropical cyclone affecting a certain island or territory. Large swells from the cyclone impacted large swathes of Queensland for approximately a week. Over the next few days, the system's organization slightly improved as it moved south-eastwards, before it was last noted during November 16, while located about 575 km (355 mi) to the northeast of Port Vila in Vanuatu. Owen made landfall near Kowanyama early on 15 December as a low-end Category 3 severe tropical cyclone and gradually weakened thereafter due to land interaction. At Cocos Islands Airport on West Island, the capital of the Cocos Islands, sustained winds peaked at 59 km/h (37 mph)—slightly below gale-force—at 11:30 p.m. local time (17:00 UTC) on 24 April, with gusts of up to 76 km/h (47 mph) also recorded. [7] The disturbance was located within a favourable environment for further development to the south of an upper-level ridge, while deep atmospheric convection persisted over the systems elongated low-level circulation. [94] At 00:00 UTC on 14 April, ten-minute sustained winds peaking at 63 km/h (39 mph) were observed on Varanus Island,[95] located about 60 km (35 mi) northwest of the mainland and 130 km (80 mi) west of the town of Karratha. The tropical cyclone names that were assigned by the BOM during the 2018–19 season are as follows: In 2020, the Bureau of Meteorology announced the names Trevor, Veronica and Ann would be retired due to the damage and notorieties associated with the systems.

[68][69] On 5 April, the JTWC designated the system as Tropical Cyclone 23S. [25] At 06:00 UTC on 2 December, the Bureau of Meteorology upgraded the system to a Category 1 tropical cyclone on the Australian scale, and gave it the name 'Owen', making it the first tropical cyclone to form in the basin during the season. [137], The storm's low-level circulation proceeded to organise as deep convection developed around the centre, and the BOM upgraded the system to a Category 1 tropical cyclone at 18:00 UTC on 11 May, assigning the name Ann. On February 3, Tropical Depression 06F formed to the north of Fiji. Cyclone Oma. Wind manipulation powers allow her to create dangerous storms and air constructs. Tropical cyclone Oma is continuing its slow, steady course towards Australia's east coast. [98] The weakened and shallow system proceeded eastwards towards the Northern Interior district of Western Australia, while continuing to unravel, dissipating by 05:00 UTC on 15 April, while located over the Great Sandy Desert. Tropical Cyclone Oma re-entered the Australian region in the Coral Sea on 21 February as a Category 2 tropical cyclone. [113] It was noted that environmental conditions in the vicinity were largely favourable for continued development, with good poleward upper-level outflow and warm sea surface temperatures, with the only mitigating factor being moderate to high vertical wind shear to the north and south of the low. On 30 December, a weak tropical low developed over the Indian Ocean, south of the main Indonesian island of Java. On the island, gale-force winds flattened banana plantations and crops, especially the casava plant. On 7 February, a second tropical low developed within a very active monsoon trough, east of Cardwell on the northern Queensland coast. [2] Their outlook also predicted that the Solomon Islands, Vanuatu, Fiji, Tonga, the Pitcairn Islands and Tuamotu Archipelago and the Gambier Islands had a normal chance of being impacted by a tropical cyclone. [63] On April 1, the trough spawned Tropical Low 21U to the northeast of Darwin, Northern Territory, as well as a short-lived low southeast of Papua New Guinea. The storm then completed an anti-cyclonic loop and turned back to the east. [131] The environment was generally favourable for further development, with warm sea surface temperatures and good upper outflow, as well as relatively low vertical wind shear. [60] Rio Tinto's Cape Lambert port wharf also sustained damage from waves generated by the cyclone, and repairs to the company's Robe River sorting facility following a fire earlier in the year were delayed during the event. [97] By this stage, the system had become trapped beneath strong upper-level westerly flow, which was acting to further displace the remaining fragmented convection to the east of the storm's centre. During October, ahead of the tropical cyclone season, the Bureau of Meteorology issued a tropical cyclone outlook for the upcoming 2018–19 season, which would officially run from 1 November 2018 to 30 April 2019. On March 1, Pola began to weaken while turning eastward, as a result of cooler sea surface temperatures and shear from a high-pressure system over New Zealand. [104][105] Widespread wind gusts in excess of 50 km/h (31 mph) were observed in numerous areas, including at Roebourne, Mardie, Karratha and Thevenard Island. However, due to strong wind shear and cool air flowing from the south of the system, 06F was not named. 2018–19 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Australian region tropical cyclone seasons, Indonesian Agency for Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysics, Out of basin between 11-21 and 22 February, List of off-season Australian region tropical cyclones, List of Southern Hemisphere cyclone seasons, "Australian Tropical Cyclone Outlook for 2018 to 2019: Lower number of cyclones likely for Australia", "Western Australia Seasonal Tropical Cyclone Outlook 2016–17", "Signiificant Tropical Weather Advisory for the Western and Southern Pacific Oceans September 24, 2018 02:30z", "Tropical Disturbance Advisory 1A (Liua)", "Liua becomes earliest tropical cyclone on record to form in the South Pacific Ocean - AccuWeather.com", "Tropical Disturbance Advisory 10A (Liua)", "Weekly Tropical Climate Note (2 October 2018)", "Western Region Tropical Cyclone Outlook", "Southern Indonesian Area Tropical Cyclone Outlook", "12 UTC Gradient Level Wind Analysis Chart", "Moderate Tropical Storm Bouchra Forecast Track Map", "Current Tropical Cyclone Basin Activity", "Eastern Region Tropical Cyclone Outlook", "Tropical Cyclone Formation Alert (Owen)", "Tropical Cyclone Owen Forecast Track Map #3", "Man swept to his death after ex-cyclone Owen's record rain, as crocs let loose", "Ex-Cyclone Owen downgraded to tropical low half a day after crossing Queensland coast", "12 UTC Tropical Cyclone Forecast Track Map (Penny)", "09 UTC Tropical Cyclone Technical Bulletin (Penny)", "18 UTC Tropical Cyclone Forecast Track Map (Penny)", "Swimmer drowns in Cyclone Oma aftermath as swathe of Queensland beaches battle erosion", "Dozens rescued from south-east Queensland beaches as ex-Tropical Cyclone Oma departs", "Cudgen banana grower's crop smashed by ex-Tropical Cyclone Oma", "Kecelakaan Mobil di Jalan Tol Madiun-Surabaya, Bocah 5 Tahun Tewas", "Five dead, one missing after flooding, landslides in Yogyakarta", "Kapolres: Kabar 2 Orang Tewas akibat Banjir di Madiun Hoaks", "Kerugian Akibat Banjir Madiun Capai Rp54 Miliar! [2][3] The Island Climate Update Outlook predicted that the Austral Islands, American Samoa, the Cook Islands and Samoa had an elevated chance, while the Northern Cook Islands had a normal to elevated chance of being impacted by a tropical cyclone. [1], The outlooks showed that activity in the basin overall, as well as for each of its individual regions, would be near to below average. [103] Upon nearing land in the far western Pilbara, the tropical low delivered moderate rainfall and gusty winds to locations throughout the region's coastal fringe and nearby islands. On February 27, Oma turned eastward, while situated over Vanuatu, and the storm subsequently dissipated on February 28. The United States' Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC) in Hawaii, and other national meteorological services such as MetService in New Zealand, Météo-France at La Réunion, and the Fiji Meteorological Service (FMS), also monitored parts of the basin during the season in an unofficial capacity. Despite only existing as a tropical system in the Australian region for a short period of time, Ex-Tropical Cyclone Liua made the 2018-19 season the third in a row in which the region's tropical cyclone activity began prior to the official start date of 1 November. Oma exited the South Pacific basin and returned to the Australian Region as a tropical cyclone on February 21. Late on the same day, the tropical low organised into Tropical Cyclone Trevor. [4][5] The system proceeded to intensify into a category 1 tropical cyclone on the Australian scale, and was named 'Liua' by the Fiji Meteorological Service. No tropical cyclones were named by the PNG National Weather Service during the season. Map plotting the track and the intensity of the storm, according to the Saffir–Simpson scale. [81] Drier air and increasing wind shear caused Wallace to weaken. On February 8, a tropical low developed into Tropical Depression 07F. [139][140] Ann entered the Arafura Sea on 16 May while continuing to drift westward. Multiple traditionally constructed homes were destroyed while flooding from swollen rivers washed out roads. [128][129], On 7 May, the Bureau of Meteorology indicated that a tropical low had developed within the South Pacific basin. After turning towards the west-southwest at 00:00 UTC on 10 May, Lili soon began to weaken. During the storm's passage over northern Queensland, Owen killed a person and produced steady rainfall throughout the region, with the highest totals predicted for the eastern coast compared to the southwestern portions of the state. On 4 May, the Bureau of Meteorology noted the formation of a weak tropical low approximately 750 km (465 mi) to the north-northwest of Darwin, embedded within a low-pressure trough extending from Borneo to New Guinea. [61] Fortescue Metals reported that exports of up to 2 million tonnes of its own iron ore were disrupted during the cyclone. [59] As a result of the disruption to the mining and export operations, Rio Tinto estimated that its iron ore production would suffer reductions of approximately 14 million tonnes during 2019. Significant beach erosion occurred along the southeast Queensland and northern New South Wales coasts and there was one reported drowning fatality off North Stradbroke Island during the event. [21] The period of residence in the Australian basin proved to be short-lived once again, however, with Météo-France indicating that Ex-Tropical Cyclone Bouchra had returned to the far-eastern part of their area of responsibility early on 13 November. [130] At 06:00 UTC on 9 May, the tropical low crossed the 160th meridian east and entered the Australian region from the South Pacific basin. The system meandered south of Indonesia before dissipating on 2 January.[146]. [41] One person drowned just off North Stradbroke Island after attempts to resuscitate him failed (while Oma was in the Australian region basin). [72][73] During this time, Wallace brought rainfall, high waves, and gusty winds to parts of Indonesia, with sustained winds of 45 km/h (30 mph) reported on East Nusa Tenggara. [14] Agriculture was particularly hard-hit with losses reported in all provinces. Oma then briefly weakened on February 17, before it restrengthened into a severe tropical cyclone and reached its peak intensity on February 19. Despite initial forecasts of a medium chance to develop into a tropical cyclone, the tropical low began to degrade later on 25 April,[114] and it was indicated that the system was unlikely to intensify further. Cyclone Oma to intensify into the weekend. [5] Late on September 26, the storm intensified into a tropical cyclone, and was given the name Liua. Music by Rick Snowden. The most active month was December 2018, with a total of seven tropical lows existing in the region at some time during the month. The cyclone’s sudden change of direction has amplified the risk. By Toby Crockford. Tonga was largely affected by TD 06F. [19], After meandering just to the west of the South-West Indian Ocean border for a number of days, the system re-entered the Australian region late on 12 November. The port of Port Hedland, the most valuable export hub in Australia and one of the largest iron ore loading ports in the world, was closed on 22 March,[58] with operations only resuming nearly four days later. It then reached its peak intensity early on 17 March, with maximum sustained 10-min winds of 175 km/h (110 mph). [96], The tropical low made landfall on the coast of Western Australia near the town of Onslow, to the east of the Exmouth Gulf, on the afternoon of 14 April (local time). [1], During September 24, the JTWC started to monitor a tropical disturbance, that had developed about 990 km (615 mi) to the east-northeast of Port Moresby in Papua New Guinea. [124][125] Despite the marginally favourable environment for strengthening, land interaction and significant dry-air intrusion caused the system to deteriorate. [1] The forecasts took into account various factors, including the latest neutral to weak El Niño conditions that had been observed in the tropical Pacific Ocean.

The BoM also predicted that the Eastern Region between 165°E and 120°W, had a 55% chance of seeing activity above its average of 4 tropical cyclones. On 16 March, Savannah intensified into a Category 3 severe tropical cyclone, on the Australian region scale. [24] Fuelled by the warm sea surface temperatures of the Coral Sea, and aided by excellent upper outflow channels, the tropical low continued to strengthen. The names assigned by TCWC Jakarta during the season to tropical cyclones that developed within their area of responsibility are given below:[147]. [82][83] On 10 April, the BoM downgraded the storm to a vigorous gale-force tropical low, and the JTWC issued their final advisory on Wallace. The system gradually organized while slowly moving southward. [3] At least three of the tropical cyclones were expected to intensify further and become severe tropical cyclones, while it was noted that a Category 5 severe tropical cyclone could occur during the season. Ex-Tropical Cyclone Penny quickly tracked eastwards across the Coral Sea, while regaining the organisation and convective structure that had been eroded due to land interaction over Cape York Peninsula. [2] At least two of the tropical cyclones were expected to intensify further and become Category 3 or higher severe tropical cyclones. CYCLONE Oma is the Category 2 storm swirling around the northern provinces of Vanuatu, but could the cyclone strengthen to a Category 3 as it hovers over warm waters? Cyclone Oma first to close in on Brisbane in almost 30 years. [48][49][50][51][52] In Klaten and Sukoharjo of Central Java, the damage of the flooding stood at 934 million rupiah (US$65,000). The French government declared a state of calamity, directed at agriculture, for the entire island which freed ₣150 million (US$1.43 million) for recovery. The system reached its peak intensity later that day with 10-minute sustained winds of 65 km/h (40 mph). [3] They also predicted that Fiji, Niue, Papua New Guinea, Tonga, Tokelau, Tuvalu, Wallis and Futuna, the Society and the Solomon Islands all had a near-normal risk of being impacted. [100][101] Central Plateau in the west of the Arnhem Land region also received 81 mm (3.2 in) in the 20-hour period up to 05:00 ACST on 7 April. [30] The system meandered for a few days without any notable intensification, before moving slowly eastwards out of the Australian region late on 31 December. The storm has been moving … People in the Lau group have been warned to expect gale-force and heavy rain as Mona tracks south, before arching south west over Fiji over the next 24 hours.[10]. In an attempt to try and be like Isla, Thomas attempts to go and pick up a sick patient at Pine Tree, despite Shane attempting to tell Thomas that Isla can deal with it. [86] The shallow remnant low passed south of the Cocos (Keeling) Islands on 14 April,[87] producing a 24-hour rainfall total of 11.2 mm (0.4 in) at West Island. The system intensified into a Category 1 tropical cyclone on February 9, 2019, and was assigned the name Neil. [18] Over the next couple of days, the system gradually moved south-westwards and moved into the Australian region during May 10, where it later developed into a Category 2 tropical cyclone, and received the name Ann from the BOM. On 5 April, the Bureau of Meteorology reported that Tropical Low 22U had formed in the far northeastern Gulf of Carpentaria. The tropical low's track brought the system within a few hundred kilometres of the Cocos Islands on 23–25 April. 2018–19 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Australian Tropical Cyclone Intensity Scale, National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research, List of off-season South Pacific tropical cyclones, Tropical Cyclone Guidance for Season 2010/11 for the Fiji and the Southwest Pacific, "2018–19 Tropical Cyclone Season Outlook [in the] Regional Specialised Meteorological Centre Nadi – Tropical Cyclone Centre (RSMC Nadi – TCC) Area of Responsibility (AOR)", "Southwest Pacific Tropical Cyclone Outlook - October 2018", "South Pacific Tropical Cyclone Outlook for 2018 to 2019", "Tropical Disturbance Advisory Number A1", "Liua becomes earliest tropical cyclone on record to form in the South Pacific Ocean", https://www.radionz.co.nz/international/pacific-news/379628/fiji-largely-escapes-as-cyclone-mona-heads-off, https://www.radionz.co.nz/international/pacific-news/382127/tropical-cyclone-neil-weakens-tonga-lifts-warning, "Eastern Region Tropical Cyclone Outlook", "Cyclone Oma strengthens to a category 3", "Cyclone Oma en Nouvelle-Calédonie : Philippe Gomès fait appel à la solidarité de l'Etat", "Le cyclone Oma est reconnu calamité agricole sur toute la Calédonie", "Solomon Island oil spill clean-up could cost $50m, experts say", Tropical Disturbance Summary November 11, 2018 23z, https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=2018–19_South_Pacific_cyclone_season&oldid=995845907, Articles to be expanded from December 2020, Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License, Category 1 tropical cyclone (Australian scale), Category 2 tropical cyclone (Australian scale), Category 3 severe tropical cyclone (Australian scale), Category 4 severe tropical cyclone (Australian scale), This page was last edited on 23 December 2020, at 05:19. Including associated heavy rainfall prior to the system's classification as a tropical low,[111] West Island received 457.6 mm (18.0 in) of rainfall from 17–27 April. The system then intensified into Tropical Depression 04F on January 3. [34] Tropical Low 07U turned eastwards at about midday on 31 December, and proceeded to strengthen into a category 1 tropical cyclone on the Australian scale a few hours later, being named ‘Penny’ by the Bureau of Meteorology. News & Media Website. [80] The JTWC estimated the same intensity, making Wallace the equivalent of a minimal hurricane. Late on February 22, Oma transitioned into an subtropical cyclone, while turning to the northeast. [114] Having lost its structure, the Bureau of Meteorology indicated that the storm had dissipated as a tropical low by 06:00 UTC on 26 April. Trevor and Ann have been replaced with Trung and Amber. A direct hit is unlikely, but our coast will still come off second best, when Cyclone Oma brushes past. Tropical Cyclone Oma inches towards the Australian coast over the next few days but will it make landfall? [111] The storm moved steadily southwestwards before stalling on 22 April, then assumed a more southerly motion on 24 April. The 2018–19 Australian region cyclone season was an average season that saw the formation of 11 tropical cyclones, six of which intensified further to become severe tropical cyclones. Tropical cyclones that develop between the Equator and 11°S, between 151°E and 160°E, are assigned names by the tropical cyclone warning centre in Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea. [17] At this stage the system was located within an area of low vertical windshear, while deep convection surrounding the system's low level circulation was poorly organised. This table lists all the storms that developed in the South Pacific to the east of longitude 160°E during the 2018–19 season. Log in, register or subscribe to save articles for later. [115] By this stage, the tropical low had commenced a direct binary interaction (consistent with the Fujiwhara Effect) with the significantly stronger Severe Tropical Storm Lorna, located less than ten degrees of longitude to the west, in the South-West Indian Ocean basin. [17] A few hours later, at 10:00 UTC, the system moved back westwards and returned to the South-West Indian Ocean basin,[18] where it gained the name 'Bouchra' from Météo-France and underwent a twelve-hour phase of rapid intensification to severe tropical storm status. About 2,000 people took shelter in 40 evacuation centers over the weekend, and thirty roads were closed, mostly due to floods and some landslides. Cyclone Oma has already caused huge swell from the Sunshine Coast to the Gold Coast as it moves closer to Fiji. [88] The low dissipated on 16 April as it approached the eastern border of Météo-France La Réunion's area of responsibility.[89]. Communications with Torba were disrupted, with authorities unable to reach the Torres Islands. At this point, the Bureau of Meteorology issued its first tropical cyclone advice and forecast track map relating to the system. [61] In total, economic costs associated with the mining disruptions and damage caused by Veronica reached A$1.7 billion (US$1.2 billion) in Rio Tinto. [8] After re-entering the Australian region, Ex-Tropical Cyclone Liua's weakening trend continued due to unfavourable atmospheric conditions and the cool sea surface temperatures of early spring. February 21, 2019 By Peter Taras Social icon rss Social icon instagram. Around Brisbane, the surf caused significant beach erosion; particularly affected was a 16 km (9.9 mi) stretch along Moore Park Beach. Hurricane Omar was a powerful tropical cyclone that took an unusual southwest to northeast track through the eastern Caribbean Sea during mid-October 2008. Tropical cyclone Oma persisted in the Coral Sea as a tropical cyclone for eleven days. [3] The outlook called for a near-average number of tropical cyclones for the 2018–19 season, with seven to eleven named tropical cyclones, predicted to occur between 135°E and 120°W compared to an average of about 10. Similarly, the presence of the pulse in the Maritime Continent generated favourable conditions for cyclogenesis in the tropical seas to the north of the Australian continent,[118] despite May being outside the traditional bounds of the Australian region cyclone season. [2] It was also noted that New Caledonia had a reduced chance of being affected by a tropical cyclone, while tropical cyclone activity near Kiribati and the Marquesas Islands was considered unlikely.
