Penny
2018-19 season · AU201819_07U
History
Tropical Cyclone Penny formed during the 2018–19 Australian region cyclone season, which was considered an average season overall, producing 11 tropical cyclones, six of which reached severe tropical cyclone status. The season officially ran from 1 November 2018 to 30 April 2019, with activity monitored primarily by the Bureau of Meteorology along with international partners including the JTWC and regional meteorological services.
The 2018–19 season was notable for being the first since 2014–15 to feature at least six severe tropical cyclones. December 2018 was the most active month, while the three most intense systems — Veronica, Trevor, and Savannah — all developed in March 2019. The season extended well beyond its official end date, with two additional cyclones forming in May 2019.
