Low building in Gulf of Carpentaria

Cyclone watch By MATT NICHOLLS

CAPE York residents should be on weather watch this week as the wet season finally kicks into gear. There’s even a small chance of a cyclone forming in the Gulf of Carpentaria, although the Bureau of Meteorology is not yet making that prediction.

“A trough is expected to develop across the eastern Arafura Sea and northern Gulf of Carpentaria from Tuesday onwards,” the BoM said. “It is expected to extend across Cape York Peninsula to the Coral Sea region. A tropical low may develop along the trough later in the week or by the weekend. “The environmental conditions

are marginally favourable for tropical cyclone development.” Meteorologist Livio Regano said the Bureau was only willing to declare the potential development of a tropical low. “It could be a strong system and things could change later in the week,” he told Cape York Weekly. “There’s a big trough strewn

across North Queensland which is very active at the moment. “It’s almost monsoon-like but it isn’t a monsoon. “In a true monsoon, you get tropical winds from across the equator, down from Indonesia. “We don’t have those winds at the moment.” Continued – Page 2
