Cyclone Alfred, a Category 2 tropical cyclone, has impacted Australia’s southeast coast, with the cyclone originating in the Coral Sea. It is forecasted to make landfall north of Brisbane, causing heavy rainfall, damaging winds, and significant flooding. This cyclone is particularly notable as it is the first one to directly affect Brisbane since Cyclone Nancy in 1990. The cyclone's fluctuation between different categories adds to the potential threat to the region, especially due to the heavy rainfall and strong winds expected.
