Ita was ultimately the strongest and most intense system inside the basin and made landfall on the Far North Queensland coast near Cooktown, causing minor damage but significant flooding.

[3] During November 2013 the Guy Carpenter Asia-Pacific Climate Impact Centre (GCACIC), issued seasonal forecasts for the whole basin and one each for the regions to the east and west of 135°E.

[10] At 0900 UTC, the JTWC designated the system Tropical Cyclone 02S, noting that the storm's center of circulation had become better-defined, with an improved convection pattern.

[12] Tracking toward the east around the southern periphery of a ridge to the north, the abnormally small cyclone approached the Kimberley coastline on 23 November.

[13][14] Alessia remained a marginal Category 1 cyclone as it skirted the northern Kimberley coast, passing just south of Troughton Island before emerging into the Joseph Bonaparte Gulf.

[15] The JTWC issued its final warning on 02S at 0600 UTC on 24 November,[16] Increased wind shear took its toll on the already disheveled cyclone, leaving the system vertically decoupled; it made its final landfall near the Anson Bay, Daly and Reynolds River Floodplains area of the Top End midday local time on 24 November.

Scatterometer passes revealed a well-defined circulation while satellite imagery showed fragmented convective banding features wrapping into the system.

Situated to the north of a subtropical ridge, favorable diffluence supported convective development; however, concurrent moderate to high wind shear mitigated this.

[22] Tracking generally southwest over the following day, deep convection became increasingly organized around the centre of circulation and banding features steadily improved.

[24] Environmental conditions improved markedly by 17 December, with wind shear lessening and excellent outflow into an upper-level low over Western Australia developing.

With elevated oceanic heat content in the storm's path, Bruce attained severe tropical cyclone status — having sustained winds of at least 120 km/h (75 mph) — early on 19 December.

[22][29] A broad, ragged eye feature became apparent on visible satellite imagery that day,[30] and deep convection soon consolidated around the eyewall.

At this time, Bruce was estimated to be a high-end Category 3 on the Australian intensity scale with winds of 155 km/h (95 mph) and a barometric pressure of 961 mbar (hPa; 28.38 inHg).

[43] In the Mid West region of Western Australia, cattle stations were inundated with flood waters and some damage to farming infrastructure was reported.

The tropical low was forecast to dissipate by 22 January, however, the system continued moving into the southern region of Western Australia, dropping very heavy rain along the way.

[54] However this did not occur due to dry air located in the southern Coral Sea, hindering the system's development as it continued to move south-east at around 10 km/h (6.2 mph).

Sea surface temperatures of 28 °C (82 °F) assisted in the system's development and by 30 January, it reached tropical cyclone strength and was named Dylan by the BOM.

Late on 30 January, Dylan reached category 2 status while located 185 km (115 mi) north-east of Townsville and was forecast to make landfall near Bowen within 12 hours.

[58] Dylan made landfall on the Queensland coast between Bowen and Proserpine at around 3:30 am on 31 January, with the eye of the cyclone passing over the small town of Dingo Beach.

Dylan quickly weakened to below cyclone status after moving over land and was dropped from all advisories by the Bureau of Meteorology and TCWC Brisbane while located near Moranbah as it was classified as a remnant low.

[59] Despite making landfall on a heavily populated region of the Queensland coast, damage was minimal and mainly restricted to minor flooding associated with king tides.

[64] Despite moderate to heavy rainfall totals, no flooding was recorded as the weather had been extremely dry in the few months prior to Dylan's landfall, and most of Queensland still remained in severe drought.

In the best track data post-analysis of the storm, Fletcher was not deemed to have acquired gale-force winds more than halfway around the centre, and was downgraded to a tropical low.

During 31 January TCWC Brisbane started to monitor a tropical low that had developed within the monsoon trough, over the central Coral Sea about 400 km (250 mi) to the northeast of Mackay in Queensland, Australia.

[72][73] The system subsequently redeveloped into a Category 1 tropical cyclone, as it crossed 160°E and moved into the South Pacific basin, where it impacted the French Territory of New Caledonia.

[75] Within the Northern Territory, heavy rainfall over several days in association with the system, exacerbated existing flooding over the Darwin-Daly district and extended it into the Victoria River.

Because of two cyclones, Hadi and Lusi are close to each other, Gillian started to weaken to a tropical depression on 12 March as it began to move west.

[81] The system continued to rapidly develop during 19 April and was classified as a category 3 severe tropical cyclone as it peaked with 10-minute sustained wind speeds of 140 km/h (85 mph).

[83] On 7 February, TCWC Darwin started to monitor a tropical low that was located about 30 km (19 mi) to the southeast of Kununurra, Western Australia.

[93] During the season a total of 10 tropical cyclones received a name from BoM, either by TCWC Perth, Darwin, or Brisbane, when the system was judged to have 10-minute sustained windspeeds of 65 km/h (40 mph).
