Lincoln
2023-24 season · AU202324_07U
History
Tropical Cyclone Lincoln originated as a tropical low in the Gulf of Carpentaria, first identified on 14 January 2024, and was upgraded to a named tropical cyclone on 16 January. The system intensified as it tracked across the gulf before making landfall near the border of the Northern Territory and Queensland. After crossing the coast, Lincoln traversed overland and subsequently emerged over the Indian Ocean, though it was unable to regain tropical cyclone intensity at that point.
Lincoln developed during a busy stretch of the 2023–24 Australian region cyclone season, which also produced notable systems including Jasper, Kirrily, Megan, and Olga. The season as a whole was characterised by below-average numbers of named storms but an above-average proportion of severe tropical cyclones. The broader season resulted in approximately $790 million USD in damages and one fatality, both attributed primarily to Cyclone Jasper rather than Lincoln. Specific impact figures for Lincoln — including any damage costs or casualties directly associated with the system — were not prominent in available records, suggesting its effects were relatively limited compared to other cyclones active during the same season.
