As temperatures drop across the North West, tourists are rolling into towns and thoughts are turning to the dry season ahead. But Neil Bennett, the Bureau's manager of media and communications, is urging all in the region to be aware that the cyclone season is not over.

"We still technically are in the cyclone season. The cyclone season runs from November to April, but really Mother Nature doesn't take too much notice of the constraints that humans put on the calendar," he said.

Forecasters' attention has been caught by a tropical low south of Indonesia, which is making the most of the last of the warm ocean temperatures.

"We are expecting that as it continues to track southwards, it will start to intensify, and it's highly likely that we will see a tropical cyclone," Mr Bennett said.

If the system develops as forecast, a category two cyclone will see in the first day of May.
