Several active and recent cyclone systems are being discussed in weather updates and forums right now, mainly around Australia/Queensland and the North Indian Ocean region.

Quick Scoop: Where is “the cyclone” now?

Because “where is the cyclone” is vague, here are the main systems currently relevant in early January 2026.

  • Tropical Cyclone Koji (Queensland, Australia)
    • Located off the northeast Queensland coast, moving toward the coast between Townsville and Bowen.
* Classified around category 2 with warnings current for coastal communities such as Innisfail to Mackay, including Townsville, Palm Island, Bowen, Proserpine and the Whitsunday Islands.
  • System BOB 01 (North Indian Ocean)
    • A depression/weak cyclone system noted near Sri Lanka, one of the earliest depressions of the season there, with relatively modest winds so far.
  • Recent/just-finished systems (context)
    • Cyclone Jenna (Australian region) was active roughly 3–8 January and affected areas near the Cocos Islands, but has already dissipated.
* Intense Cyclone Grant was active from mid‑December to about 6 January and has also dissipated.

Is there a cyclone near me?

For a precise “where is the cyclone for my location ” answer, local agencies are the safest source.

  • Check your national meteorological service (for example, Bureau of Meteorology in Australia, PAGASA in the Philippines, IMD in India, etc.).
  • Look at their latest tropical cyclone bulletins, radar, and warnings pages rather than older news or social posts.

If you tell your country or nearest big city, a more targeted explanation of which system is relevant (if any) can be given.
