How many cyclones have been recorded in Brisbane?
There have been no cyclones reported in Brisbane, capital of Queensland, Australia. Brisbane can be affected by cyclones which occur further north, but no cyclone has ever directly hit Brisbane.
What natural disasters happen in Brisbane?
Floods and severe storms with hail are the most common natural disasters in Brisbane. These storms have become increasingly stronger in intensity, with lightning strikes and high, gusting winds causing major damage. Bushfires occasionally occur in the mountains around the city, but these never cause major damage. Cyclones very rarely reach as far south as Brisbane, the last one significant one being in 1974 when "Cyclone Wanda" dumped a huge amount of water in the Brisbane catchment, contributing to massive floods. Having said that, however, meteorologists are predicting more cyclones to occur near Brisbane in the 2010-2011 Summer season.
Why are the Tropical Cyclone Warning centers located in Perth Darwin or Brisbane?
Tropical cyclone warning centres are located in these cities as they are the major centres along the coasts where most cyclones occur. Cyclones rarely hit as far south as Perth, but Perth is the capital of Western Australia, and the centre for communications - thus it is a logical location. Brisbane is in a similar situation. Darwin is right in the middle of cyclone territory.
What are cyclones called in Europe?
Cyclones in Europe are known as cyclones. They are not called hurricanes - this is a term generally reserved for cyclones in the Americas.
How much rainfall can be deposited due to a tropical cyclone?
The figure varies. Some cyclones have more intense winds, while others bring deluges of rainfall. Cyclone Wanda, which was a major factor in the Brisbane floods of 1974, dumped 580mm of rain over Brisbane in three days. There were heavier falls in some areas, with nearby Mt Glorious recording 1,300mm in five days.

Why does Darwin get more rain than Brisbane?
Darwin has a tropical climate, whereas Brisbane's climate is temperate. The ocean waters around Darwin are warmer, and this generates more cyclones and tropical depressions during summer, whereas Brisbane is rarely hit by cyclones (except for the year Cyclone Wanda contributed to the 1974 Brisbane floods).
When do cyclones hit Brisbane?
Brisbane doesn't get hit by Cyclones that often but they can strike the area anytime in the warmer months. They normally form in the Coral Sea (around 10'S) between November and April and sometimes track south and head towards Brisbane and can cause extreme damage and flooding, even if they do not make landfall.
Do we get cyclones in Brisbane?
Not normally. Brisbane tends to be too far south to be hit by cyclones. The warm water currents necessary for a cyclone's development usually do not extend as far south as Brisbane, although a cyclone could, conceivably, be caught in such a current. Cyclones on Australia's eastern side readily form in the Coral Sea any time between November and April. If they do track south, they are unlikely to retain their wind strength, but they can still cause major damage with flooding rains. This was what happened in the 1974 floods in Brisbane, when Cyclone Wanda crossed the coast several hundred kilometres north of Brisbane, but then continued inalnd, dumping hundreds of millimetres of rain, despite its wind strength being depleted.

Are cyclones similar to tusnaimis?
No. Cyclones are similar to hurricanes.
Is South Brisbane in New South Wales?
No. Brisbane is the capital of Queensland, and South Brisbane is one of Brisbane's suburbs.
