Cyclone season 2020-21: almost double last years cyclones anticipated

With the Australian cyclone season less than one month away, AccuWeather meteorologists say Australia may have not only a more active tropical season than the last but also one with more storms making landfall on the nation's shores.

During the 2019-2020 hurricane season, the Australian basin produced nine cyclones, slightly below the average of 11, with the first cyclone developing in a late start to the season. Cyclone Blake, which formed off of northwestern Australia on Jan. 4, 2020, came two months after the official start of the season, which runs from November to April.

The first cyclone of this season is expected to form before the end of December, kicking off a potentially more active season for the basin.
