DARYL
1983-84 season · AU198384_19U
History
Severe Tropical Cyclone Daryl originated from a tropical low situated to the west-northwest of Christmas Island on 6 March 1984, during the exceptionally active 1983–84 Australian region cyclone season. The system tracked in a generally southwestward direction across the Australian region basin before crossing into the southwest Indian Ocean basin on 16 March. Unusually, it retained the name Daryl rather than being renamed upon entering the neighbouring basin. The cyclone then looped back into the Australian region on 18 March before finally dissipating on 20 March. Daryl's most notable characteristic was its longevity, persisting for a total of 17 days and making it the longest-lived storm of the 1983–84 season — a season that produced a record 22 tropical lows, 20 tropical cyclones, and 12 severe tropical cyclones. Daryl did not make landfall on the Australian coast, and no significant damage or casualties were attributed to the system. The dominant storm of that season in terms of destruction was Severe Tropical Cyclone Kathy, which accounted for the season's sole known fatality and the majority of its recorded damage.
