Monsoon update

Ex TC Kirrily is keeping everyone guessing but the best approach is to look 4 days out, and we see even that had divided the models below. Will it go South, North or back East? We don't know. What we do know is that this region is the most active for the monsoon around the entire equator. So there are good chances of monsoonal events popping up and then maturing in the following week around the Coral Sea.


Then it moves on towards Fiji. However, we can also see events around Fiji impact QLD. So many possibilities. Watch and see.


If you want to follow in depth get hold of a Big Shout and check out the Long Range forecast which is updated when major events are identified and regular metrological markers are identified.
