Alfred was a tropical cyclone in the coral sea on Monday night Eastern time, said a common warning center of typhoon warning in his latest advisory.
The tropical cyclone had a wind speed of 75 miles per hour, which would make it a hurricane category 1 if it is in the Atlantic Ocean.

What does a storm look like from above?
Satellite images can help determine the strength, size and cohesion of the storm. The stronger the storm becomes, the in the middle it will form the eyes. When the eye looks symmetrical, it often means that the storm does not come across anything to weaken it.
Only about a quarter of earthly tropical cyclones is formed on the southern hemisphere. When these storms maintain 74 mph or more winds, they would be called hurricanes in the Atlantic, but they are called cyclones here. The only other difference is that in the southern hemisphere cyclones are spinning clockwise (hurricanes spin in the opposite clockwise direction).
Cyclones can hit East Africa, above all a Madagascar, as well as the western, northern and eastern coasts of Australia and the surrounding island peoples.
The season here lasts opposite the rest of the world, usually begins at the end of October and goes through May. The tops in the activity differ depending on the region, but usually the activity is largest in late February and early March.
Sources and notes
Tracking map The monitoring information is from the National Hurricane Center. The map shows a likelihood of at least 5 percent. The forecast is up to five days, with that time starting until three hours before the time registered time for the storm to reach its latest place. Wind probability data is not available north of 60.25 degrees north width.
Wind -arrival table The arrival times are generated from the New York Times Analysis of the National Hurricane Center for Hurricanes. Geographical locations use data from the US Census and Natural Census Office. Time zones are based on Google. The table shows the foreseen times of the arrival of sustainable, harmful winds of 58 mph or more for selected cities with a chance that such winds reach them. If the harmful winds reach the place, there is no more than 10 percent of the chance to arrive before the “earliest reasonable” time and 50 percent of the chance to arrive before “most likely” time.

A map of storms The storms of the storms come from the National Hurricane Center for Hurricanes. The forecasts include only the United States of the Gulf and Atlantic coasts, Puerto Rico and the American Virgin Islands. Real areas that could be flooded may be different from the areas shown on this map. This map explains the tide, but not the waves, not the floods caused by rain. The map also includes intertidal areas that routinely flood during typical tides.
