A tropical cyclone developing off the coast of Queensland may be upgraded to a category three tropical cyclone by the middle of the week. The Bureau of Meteorology declared the tropical cyclone, which began developing in the northern Coral Sea, as category one 5pm Sunday afternoon, approximately 910km east northeast of Cairns and moving in an easterly direction. Despite bringing strong winds and lashings of rain, the bureau said the tropical cyclone is currently moving slowly eastwards and is “well offshore of the north Queensland coast”.
