Currently only a 15% (low) chance of cyclonic development, but the forecast does mention “environmental conditions are supportive of significant development next week”.

This cold front, and tonight's late-season frost under the dry air behind it, are the latest effects of ongoing negative AAO/SAM on south east Australia.

It's being an extraordinary warm November in Europe where hundreds of records have fallen from West to East from South to North.
The exception is Italy,which is also the only country worldwide which hasn' t broken a single heat record in the whole season and is not expected to do so

Despite the lack of a planet-warming El Niño event this year, 2025 has been the 2nd-warmest year on record for the year-to-date period, and is on track to end up as the 2nd- or 3rd-warmest year on record, behind only the El Niño-warmed years of 2024 and 2023:
October 2025 was the planet's third-warmest October on record » Yale Climate Connections

Another burst of strong westerlies (then shallow coastal southerlies) across eastern NSW on Tuesday, before dry and rapidly stabilising air brings late-season frost to the ranges and slopes.
