Tropical cyclone frequency in Queensland will decrease but become more severe, reports predict
The frequency of tropical cyclones in Queensland is likely to decrease but the weather events that do arrive could be more severe, according to two new government reports.
The Geosciences Australia report into wind hazards considered the risk and impact of thunderstorms, cyclones and tropical cyclones (TC) in the state's south-east.
A second report conducted by Queensland Fire and Emergency Services (QFES) evaluated future cyclone risk and found climate change would influence the frequency, intensity and behaviour of tropical cyclones.
One report found it is "more likely than not that the frequency of TC activity in the Queensland region will decline into the future, though the change of frequency in TCs in south-east Queensland specifically remains uncertain".
