The World Meteorological Organization currently defines the season as occurring between 1 November and 30 April, of the following year, which is when the majority of all tropical cyclones exist.
During the off-season, systems are more likely to either develop during or persist until May, with approximately 52% of such storms occurring during that month.
Off-season cyclones are most likely to occur in the Coral Sea, with most affecting land in some way.
The wind speeds listed are maximum ten-minute average sustained winds, while the pressure is the minimum barometric pressure, both of which are estimates taken from the archives of either Météo-France, the Australian Bureau of Meteorology, the Fiji Meteorological Service, and New Zealand's MetService.
The damage totals are the United States dollar of the year of the storm.
