November to April is the official cyclone season, although November cyclones are rare and there have been cyclones outside of the season, such as in May.
The reason cyclones occur at this time is because these are Australia's warmest months, and cyclones need warm sea temperatures of 26.5 degrees Celsius or higher to form.
See the link below for the frequency of cyclones for each month below.

∙ 15y agoCyclones most often happen during the summer season relevant to the locality. For example, Australia's summer is December, January, February, which is when cyclones are most likely to occur. There is leeway either side, meaning that Australian cyclones easily occur in March, and occasionally in April or May, and also rarely in November. In the northern hemisphere, cyclones (hurricanes in the Americas and typhoons in the Asian seas) occur also in summer - i.e. around July-August.

∙ 10y agoAustralia does not have "hurricanes": it has cyclones. Cyclone is the generic term that covers cyclones, hurricanes and typhoons. Hurricane refers to the tropical disturbances found in the Americas.
Australia's cyclone season is from about October to late April, which translated to mid-Spring to late Autumn, when sea temperatures are warmer. Cyclones occur along Australia's northern coastline, from north west to northeast (the Indian ocean to the Coral Sea), wherever sea temperatures can reach a steady 26.5 degrees Celsius or higher.
