Satellite images have captured rare images of three tropical cyclones spinning in the Pacific at once.
While Queensland waits to see whether the category 3 Tropical Cyclone Alfred will hit the state or not, two more Pacific cyclones have been spotted.
Tropical Cyclone Alfred is nearest to the Queensland coast, with Tropical Cyclone Seru hovering over Vanuatu, and Tropical Cyclone Rae to the south-east of Fiji. Satellite images have captured rare images of three Tropical Cyclones spinning in the Pacific at once. None of them are expected to hit populated landmasses over the next few days, but the clouds will cause rain and storms over some South Pacific islands, according to Weatherzone meteorologists.At 10am AEST , Tropical Cyclone Alfred was about 810 kilometres from Mackay.
Bureau of Meteorology senior meteorologist Jonathan How said there was "high confidence" the cyclone would remain well offshore in the next two days.How said it was possible the cyclone could approach the Queensland coast, or that it might stay well offshore.Alfred now has winds of up to 130km/h at its centre, with gusts of up to 185km/h, and is slowly moving in a south to south-east direction.
