On 6th Jan Severe Tropical Cyclone Jenna peaked at category 3 (Aus scale) after skirting the Cocos Islands.

It made an impressive sight as it span away over the Indian ocean!

GFS has a fairly intense cyclone forming just before New Years near Broome, WA.

It is important to note that no other model currently shows this however BOM have it as 08U with moderate chance for cyclone formation. Worth watching this one as a spinoff from the monsoon. Note another in GoC too.

A number of fire scars are visible in the Northern Perth Hills area.

Lightning caused a small bushfire in the Avin Valley National Park near Perth last week. This video is a comparison between 1 Dec and 21 Dec 2025 showing the fire scar. Top left is Avon River, Bottom right is Morangup subdivision.

Size is ~38Ha and uncomfortably close to my house!

Lots of lightning around the eye of Severe Tropical Cyclone #Fina as it approaches the North Kimberly WA coast.

It is unusual to see this much lightning in such a strong system. Typically it indicates intensification in weaker systems. #CycloneFina #TCFina

A significant convective flare from near the LLCC of #TCFina indicates intensification. I would not be surprised if it is back to Cat 2 (Aus scale) strength in the next bulletin.

Moisture good✅, SSTs warm✅, Shear low✅, Poleward outflow hampered❌ #CycloneFina #Fina #NT #AusWX

Tropical #CycloneFina this morning, North east of the Tiwi Islands @50 kt sustained.

Tropical #CycloneFina over the last few hours showing a partially exposed LLCC in a dry slot between two blobs (technical term) of convective wet air.

Its going to be a very wet few days for Darwin and the Tiwi islands as tropical low #02U has a high chance of developing into a low end cyclone in a few days time.

It might not be super windy, but it will be very very wet ... #Watching 👀

A trough in the Indian Ocean south of Java is expected to slowly migrate Eastwards over the next few days and could develop into a tropical low early next week.

While the chance is low at the moment, it is the first I've noticed for this 25/26 season for Aus which is makes it newsworthy!

Quite the little cut off low is expected to form off WA over the next few days! #WesternAustralia #AusWx #WAWx
