North Queensland Residents, Reminder to get your Cyclone plans ready.

Thanks, I appreciate it.

It's really not hard to tell if it the storm with reach north Queensland. Do you know how to read a synoptic chart? I can help you with that if you like. I'm still not sure what "low high-level winds" are, or how they affect "cyclonic conditions."

I work at the CSIRO and I am also a flight instructor. I am not a professor. I have published one paper, and that was on computer science. I should expect any aviation student to be able to pick up a synoptic chart and tell me, "it is not at all hard to tell if this storm will reach north Queensland."

My motivation for this line of questioning is that bad meteorological advice, even casual, has resulted in unsafe situations before, including death. Not that I expect your post to have this effect in any way at all; that would be an exaggeration. But I think it is important enough to provoke a discussion anyway.

Merry Christmas.
