Tropical Cyclone Information Bulletin

Australian Government Bureau of Meteorology Tropical Cyclone Warning Centre Tropical Cyclone Information Bulletin Issued at 04:37 PM EST on Saturday 11 April 2026 At 4 pm AEST Saturday, Tropical Cyclone Maila (Category 1) with central pressure 994 hPa was located near latitude 8.0 south longitude 155.1 east, which is about 560 km west northwest of Honiara and 890 km east of Port Moresby. The cyclone is moving east northeast at 7 kilometres per hour. Tropical Cyclone Maila is expected to remain slow moving in the Solomon Sea during the rest of today and is forecast to be downgraded below a tropical cyclone later tonight. Maila will then continue to weaken in the Solomon Sea, near southeastern Papua New Guinea during the rest of the weekend, before taking a west southwest track. There is a Very Low chance that it emerges into the Coral Sea as a tropical cyclone. The remnants of Maila may then track through the Coral Sea towards the Far North Queensland coast. However, it is likely to be a dissipating tropical low at this time. No further Tropical Cyclone Information Bulletins will be issued.
