Tropical Cyclone Ului on the horizon
Tim Shu

Tropical Cyclone Ului is currently hanging off the coast of New Guinea, tracking slowly towards the QLD coast. Ului looks to be the last Cyclone of the season, and it could potentially be a big one.
Cyclones once formed, will increase in strength as long as they are over warm waters. If you remember back two months, Ex-TC Olga made its way across the QLD peninsula into the Gulf of Carpentaria where abnormally high sea surface temperatures at the time allowed her to re-intensify.
Currently, Cyclone Ului is sitting on a region in the Pacific Ocean, and should it decide to make landfall on the QLD coast, it has the potential to reach Category five. But the movement of Cyclones is very difficult to predict, currently our computer models indicate that it will infact come close to the QLD coast and then swing off in the direction of New Zealand.
