Meteorologist Angus Hines has indicated that the cyclone is likely to linger in the Coral Sea for several days, bringing gusty conditions and showers to northern and central Queensland.

Initially, the cyclone is forecasted to move southeast away from the Queensland coast, but it may strengthen and veer towards Queensland later in the week, resulting in more severe weather.

Queensland has recently faced extreme weather, including significant rainfall earlier this month, which has contributed to flooding in the region.

Sustained winds near the center of the cyclone are currently around 75 km/h, with gusts reaching up to 100 km/h.

Rainfall is not expected on the Queensland coast as the system will develop offshore, which limits immediate impacts.

A tropical low, identified as 22U, is expected to develop into a category 2 tropical cyclone within the next 24 hours, potentially impacting the Queensland coast.

There is considerable uncertainty regarding the cyclone's path, with a potential risk of it approaching the central Queensland coast late next week.

The system is currently located 505 km east-northeast of Cairns and is moving eastward at a speed of 6 km/h.

Depending on which system forms first, the cyclones will be named Alfred or Bianca.

The recent floods have severely impacted the ecology of the Great Barrier Reef, as highlighted by marine biologist Jodie Rummer.

A separate tropical low, identified as 21U, is anticipated to form off the Kimberley in Western Australia and may also develop into a cyclone.

Another tropical low off the Western Australian coast is forecasted to develop into a cyclone, but it poses little risk to the Australian mainland due to its trajectory.
