Tropical Cyclone Courtney update

26 March 2025

You may have seen that the Bureau of Meteorology (Bureau) named Tropical Cyclone (TC) Courtney, that formed in the Indian Ocean, on 26 March 2025. It is the eighth cyclone to be named for the 2024/25 cyclone season in the Australian region.

TC Courtney developed well offshore of the Western Australian coast and Cocos (Keeling) Islands, and is forecast to move further west. There are no direct impacts expected for the Australian mainland or Island communities. As such, ARPC has not received a notification from the Bureau, and therefore will not be declaring TC Courtney as a Cyclone Event under the Terrorism and Cyclone Insurance Act 2003.

For the latest information, you can refer to the Bureau’s Tropical Cyclone 7 Day Forecast (bom.gov.au).
