Northern Australia and the waters of the Indian and Pacific Oceans generate ideal conditions for the development of cyclones. Cyclones need warm cean temperatures of 26.5 degrees or higher to form. The sea currents around northern Australia, the Indian ocean to its northwest and the Coral Sea to the northeast have these warmer sea currents. Not all of Australia has cyclones, because regions further south do not have warm enough waters to generate the conditions needed.

∙ 14y agoBecause cyclones begin in tropical regions, such as Australia.
Only parts of Australia are cyclone-prone. Cyclones need warm ocean temperatures of 26 degrees or higher to form. The sea currents around Australia do not all emanate from these warmer waters, which is why regions further south do not have warm enough waters to generate cyclones.

∙ 10y agoTropical cyclones form over the ocean, and this is sometimes in Australian waters, but never in Australia itself. Cyclones need expanses of water in which to form.
As for why they form near Australia, this is because northern Australia and the waters of the Indian and Pacific Oceans generate ideal conditions for the development of cyclones. Cyclones need warm ocean temperatures of 26.5 degrees or higher to form. The sea currents around northern Australia, the Indian Ocean to its northwest and the Coral Sea to the northeast have these warmer sea currents. Not all of Australia has cyclones, because regions further south do not have warm enough waters to generate the conditions needed.
