2006–07 Australian region cyclone season

Isobel was downgraded to a tropical low shortly after landfall over the Eighty Mile Beach on 3 January and advisories were stopped at 0600 UTC that morning.

The remnants of Isobel merged with a deep low-pressure system near the southern coast of Western Australia, dumping 100 mm of torrential rain, in what was dubbed a "perfect storm".

The cyclone intensified to a Category 2 on the Australian scale late on 6 February and peaked while crossing the coast with gusts reaching 140 km/h (85 mph).

Nelson was once forecast to reintensify in the Coral Sea and the east Queensland coast faced a cyclone watch for the first time this season.

Later that day, the BOM reported that there were no more ship observations of gales near the centre of the storm, and downgraded Odette to a tropical low noting that redevelopment was unlikely.

On 6 March, the TCWC in Brisbane, Queensland noted the potential for redevelopment, and the remnants of Odette passed into the area of responsibility of RSMC Nadi early the next day.

Initially, poor organisation inhibited any strengthening, but George moved into more favourable conditions and quickly reorganised itself, becoming a severe tropical cyclone on 7 March.

The severe cyclone turned abruptly to the south later that day, moving closer to the Pilbara coast, while growing significantly in size.

[6] Cyclone George made landfall just east of Port Hedland at around 10 pm WDT (1300 UTC) on that day while it was still at its peak intensity and a minimum pressure of 902 hPa.

The JTWC issued its final warning on George early the next day as it was barely hanging on to Category 3 tropical cyclone status.

[7] Kara intensified quickly, and the BOM upgraded it to Category 2 on the Australian scale later that day, then to a severe tropical cyclone early on 26 March.

It then underwent rapid development, due to its small size and a favourable environment, and reached Category 3 severe tropical cyclone strength.

The cyclone reached peak intensity late on 26 March, and began to rapidly weaken the next day due to increasing wind shear.

The low organised quickly in the Soloman Sea, and the Joint Typhoon Warning Center issued a Tropical Cyclone Formation Alert on it several hours later.

[8] These unfavourable conditions eventually caused the system to lose its convection and degenerate into a tropical low shortly before making landfall in Papua New Guinea.

[9] After that, Ex-Tropical Cyclone Pierre entered the northern part of the Coral Sea and threatened to produce heavy rainfall and thunderstorms with damaging wind gusts across Cape York Peninsula.

[10] During 25 March, TCWC Brisbane started monitoring a tropical low that was located about 390 km (240 mi) to the south-west of Honiara in the Solomon Islands.
