Australian cyclones most commonly occur
- off the northwestern coast of Western Australia
- north of Darwin
- the Gulf of Carpentaria
- the Coral Sea
They occur in these areas primarily because the ocean sea temperatures are sufficiently warm enough to generate the right conditions. Further south, ocean currents do not get warm enough.
N.B. "Cyclone" is the generic term for cyclones, typhoons and hurricanes. Cyclones develop in the warm seas near the equator, but do not cross the equator. Those in the Southern Hemisphere are usually known as cyclones, but cyclones in the China Sea region are often called typhoons, whilst those in the Americas and the Atlantic Ocean are known as hurricanes.
