What year did tropical cyclone fritz happen?

There is no record of a tropical cyclone named Fritz in any specific year. The naming of storms started in the mid-20th century, so if there was a tropical cyclone named Fritz, it would have occurred after that time. It is also possible that the storm may have been named differently or not named at all.


What category storm was Cyclone Larry?

Cyclones are essentially caused by a combination of warm ocean temperatures, high humidity and low wind shear, which means differences in wind velocity and direction at different heights. If the wind shear is high, it can pull a cyclone apart. Low wind shear increases the chances of the cyclone developing. Cyclone Larry was caused by these factors, in particular, the warm waters of the Coral Sea, where it formed.
