Jack
2013-14 season · AU201314_16U
History
Severe Tropical Cyclone Jack formed during the 2013–14 Australian region cyclone season, which produced ten named tropical cyclones overall — a slightly below-average result. The season was notable for generating two Category 5 systems, Gillian and Ita, the first time that intensity had been reached in the Australian region in two consecutive seasons.
Jack was one of the named storms active during this period. Based on the available source material, detailed specifics about Jack's formation location, track, peak category, landfall, and impacts are not fully described in the provided documentation. What is established is that Jack existed within a season characterised by varied activity, including significant rainfall events, coastal damage in Western Australia from Cyclone Christine, and major flooding associated with Cyclone Ita's landfall near Cooktown in Far North Queensland.
The 2013–14 season officially ran from 1 November 2013 to 30 April 2014, operating under ENSO-neutral conditions that forecasters had predicted would produce near-average tropical cyclone activity across the Australian region.
