Alert Details
The Australian Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) Tropical Cyclone Warning Centre has issued a Tropical Cyclone Forecast Track Map for Tropical Low 30U. The alert was issued at 8:47 am AWST on Friday, March 6, 2026, as the system continues to track through waters north of the state.

The tropical low is expected to remain well away from the Western Australian coastline as it moves steadily westwards.
What You Should Do

This product is primarily designed for land-based communities; mariners are strongly advised to consult coastal waters and high seas warnings for hazardous conditions at sea.
