Best Answer

The violent tropical storm known as "hurricane" in the Caribbean is called a cyclone. In actual fact, cycloneis the generic name for all forms of the weather phenomenon that includes hurricanes and typhoons.

Australia has cyclones regularly between November and April. The continent may be hit by anywhere between 4 and 14 cyclones every year. According to Australia's main Scientific body, the CSIRO, the average is 13, but this can vary according to whether Australia is being affected by an El Nino or a La Nina weather pattern.
