Experts ‘Uncertain’ if Perth Will Be Hit by Cyclone Narelle
Ex-Tropical Cyclone Narelle may strengthen to category 4, threatening heavy rain, gale-force winds, and large waves across a broad WA coastal region, including Perth, BOM says.
- Tropical Cyclone Narelle is forecast to re-intensify off the Western Australia coast, with meteorologists predicting it could reach severe Category 3 strength by midweek.
- Forming last week in the Coral Sea, the system tracked across Far North Queensland and the Northern Territory, causing widespread flooding before moving into the Indian Ocean.
- Models suggest the system could intensify to Category 4 or 5 later this week, bringing destructive winds and heavy rainfall as it tracks toward the southwest coastline.
- Authorities have issued warning zones from Beagle Bay to Kuri Bay, urging residents from Exmouth to Perth to monitor weather updates and secure loose property.
- Though uncertainty remains about Narelle's exact path, experts note that if it crosses the metropolitan area, it would be the first cyclone to impact Perth in 36 years.
