Ex-Tropical Cyclone Linda

14 Mar 2018 / Queensland, Australia

At 9am AEST today (Wednesday 14 March), Ex-Tropical Cyclone Linda was located in the Coral Sea near Latitude 21.7 South, Longitude 157.0 East, about 630 km east-northeast of Gladstone and 760 km north-northeast of Brisbane. The system has transitioned into a subtropical low in the past few hours, and will not recover tropical cyclone characteristics.

It is expected to move generally to the southwest during today before taking on a more southerly track on Thursday, and is expected to remain offshore of the southern Queensland coast.

At its closest approach to the coast, the remains of Tropical Cyclone Linda will generate large waves and dangerous surf conditions about exposed southern Queensland beaches. Tides are also expected to be higher than normal, particularly on Thursday morning's high tide. A Severe Weather Warning is current for these conditions.

There should be no effect on loading/discharge operations at any terminal.
