Western Australia Warned As Cyclone Seroja Heading South
Residents in Western Australia’s far north have been warned a tropical cyclone is intensifying and moving south toward them.
Tropical Cyclone Seroja Indonesian for lotus flower formed early on Monday morning about 590 km northwest of Kalumburu in the Kimberley region, the Australian Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) says.
The category one system is tracking southwest and is expected to continue intensifying in the coming days as it slowly skirts along the coast.
There is the risk the cyclone will approach the west Pilbara on Thursday, BOM said in a statement.
However, it’s not expected to impact communities in the next 48 hours.
