Bureau of Meteorology (Australia)

The Bureau of Meteorology has removed this disturbance from its outlook discussion as it is located outside its area of responsibility.

Joint Typhoon Warning Center (United States)

Animated enhanced infrared imagery (EIR) depicts a consolidating low level circulation center (LLCC) with persistent deep convection building over the center. A KNES Dvorak intensity of 2.0 remains consistent with previous wind data (30 knots) as well as a 4-millibar reduction in pressure over the last 5 hours further supporting the deep centralized convection.

Environmental analysis indicates that Invest 92P is in a relatively favorable environment for further development due to warm (28 to 29°C) sea surface temperatures, low to moderate (15 to 20-knot) vertical wind shear and strong, radial outflow aloft. Global models are in good agreement that Invest 92P will continue to consolidate over the next 24 hours and track in a general southeasterly direction.

Tropical low impacting the northeast Queensland coast.

  • A Severe Weather Warning is current for hazards associated with 13U and should be referred to for more details.
  • A tropical low (13U) lies offshore, to the southeast of Cairns.
  • The risk of 13U becoming a tropical cyclone has decreased and as such this disturbance will not appear on subsequent tropical cyclone forecasts. The situation will continue to be monitored and updated here if required.

Joint Typhoon Warning Center (United States)

Animated multispectral satellite imagery depicts a poorly-organized low level circulation center (LLCC) with weak and disorganized convection. The low level circulation center has been repositioned into a relatively cloud free area surrounded by tightly curved banding. The new LLCC is in good agreement with GFS fields and is indicative of an immature circulation that has been moving erratically thus far. Environmental analysis reveals that Invest 96P is in a favorable environment for further development with good equatorward outflow aloft, warm (29 to 30°C) sea surface temperatures, and low (5 to 10 knots) vertical wind shear.

Why do tropical cyclones seem to go extratropical at lower latitudes in the southern hemisphere?

I dont know if the title is worded well so sorry, but I've noticed that in the southern hem tropical cyclones tend to go fully extratropical before or around 30S. I'll use an example from what I've seen, northern new zealand and north carolina are the same latitude away from the equator, yet NC gets many hurricanes and even have had full blown cat 4s (hazel). Where as for new zealand which is the same latitude just in the southern hemisphere, most tropical cyclones that reach us are much weaker (even a cat1 strength storm is rare and ive never heard of anything above a cat2) and are usually extratropical/subtropical by the time they get here. In the atlantic ive seen tropical storms survive into the 50Ns, where as in the south pacific or anywhere in the southern hem ive never seen anything stay tropical lower than 35S. Is there a specific reason for this or am I just making wrong assumptions based on what ive seen? Thanks
