Anggrek
2023-24 season · AU202324_04U
History
Tropical Cyclone Anggrek developed in the Indian Ocean northwest of the Cocos Islands around 10 January 2024, after the Bureau of Meteorology identified a forming tropical low in that area on 9 January. The system gradually organised over the following days, with the Joint Typhoon Warning Center issuing a Tropical Cyclone Formation Alert on 14 January as the disturbance was situated in an environment of warm sea surface temperatures, low wind shear, and favourable outflow. By 15 January, both agencies formally recognised it as a tropical cyclone, with the BOM classifying it as a Category 1 system.
Anggrek did not make landfall on the Australian coast. Instead, it meandered through the open Indian Ocean before eventually tracking westward and crossing into the South-West Indian Ocean basin. The cyclone formed during a busy mid-January period in the 2023–24 Australian region season, developing in close succession with Tropical Cyclone Kirrily. The season as a whole was characterised by below-average named storm numbers but above-average severe tropical cyclone activity. Anggrek's remote track over open ocean meant it produced no recorded impacts on land, and it is primarily noted as one of eight named storms in what became the fifth consecutive below-average Australian cyclone season.
