Tropical cyclones are named for historical reasons and so as to avoid confusion when communicating with the public, as more than one tropical cyclone can exist at a time. Names are drawn in order from predetermined lists. They are usually assigned to tropical cyclones with one-, three-, or ten-minute windspeeds of at least 65 km/h (40 mph).
Map of all North Atlantic tropical cyclone tracks from 1851 to 2019. Tropical storms are shown in green. On the Saffir–Simpson scale, a tropical cyclone reaches tropical storm status when it attains maximum sustained winds of between 39 knots (45 mph; 72 km/h; 20 m/s) and 72 knots (83 mph; 133 km/h; 37 m/s).

The most intense tropical cyclone (s) in the Australian Region were cyclones Gwenda and Inigo. By 10-minute sustained wind speed, the strongest were Cyclone Orson, Cyclone Monica and Cyclone Marcus. Storms with an intensity of 920 hPa (27.17 inHg) or less are listed.
