Tropical Cyclone Iggy is indirectly affecting Western Australia with heavy rain and large seas and swells. Iggy has indirectly affected WA over the past few days, particularly the Kimberley and Pilbara districts. The system has directed huge amounts of moisture into the monsoon trough which is positioned over the tropics. This moisture has led to torrential downpours over exposed coastal locations to the north of Broome. Cygnet Bay gained a further 170mm in the gauge to 9am, bringing the rain total for the last four days to a whopping 728mm. This is the wettest period in its 48 years of records. Further south, Exmouth gained 61mm to 9am, small by comparison but still the wettest in close to a year. The cyclone has also whipped up higher than normal seas and swells. At 8am WST the category 2 system was approximately 355km west northwest of Exmouth and moving slowly southeast at 5km/h towards the coast. The current forecast track has the system moving slowly south to southeast today before its expected movement towards the southwest on Monday. Keep in mind that cyclones can move erratically in any direction and so if you are in the cyclone warning or watch area, it is prudent to take all necessary precautions. A cyclone warning has been issued on Sunday morning for coastal areas from Onslow to Coral Bay, including Exmouth. A cyclone watch continues for coastal areas from Coral Bay to Carnarvon. Iggy may move close enough to the coast on Sunday to cause gale force winds between Onslow and Coral Bay, with gales possibly extending south on the coast to Carnarvon on Monday. With the system remaining well off the coast, significant rainfall is generally considered unlikely over the northwest, although may again indirectly cause localised heavy falls.
