Bianca
2010-11 season · AU201011_12U
History
Tropical Cyclone Bianca developed during the 2010–11 Australian region cyclone season, a period that became the costliest on record for the basin, driven largely by the impacts of Cyclone Yasi. Bianca formed in the Australian region and was monitored by the Bureau of Meteorology's Tropical Cyclone Warning Centre in Perth. The season as a whole saw eleven tropical cyclones develop against a backdrop of moderate to strong La Niña conditions, which had been anticipated to drive above-average activity, particularly in the western region between 90°E and 125°E.
While detailed specifics from a dedicated BOM post-cyclone report for Bianca were not rendered in the available source material, Bianca is recorded as one of the named systems of the 2010–11 season. The season officially ran from 1 November 2010 to 30 April 2011, with the broader regional context including significant flooding and damage events associated with other systems such as Tropical Low 03U, which caused severe flooding along the Gascoyne River in Western Australia, and Cyclone Yasi, which was responsible for the majority of the season's estimated A$3.62 billion in damages.
