Since regular records began in 1899, Australia has been hit by hundreds of cyclones.

Australia may be affected by anywhere between 4 and 14 cyclones every year. Some of these do not make landfall, but their effects are still felt. According to Australia's main Scientific body, the CSIRO, the average is 13 every year, but this can vary according to whether Australia is being affected by an El Nino or a La Nina weather pattern.
