Severe Tropical Cyclone Maila is on track to impact far north Queensland just over three weeks after Severe Tropical Cyclone Narelle caused significant damage in the region. As of Monday morning, Maila was located approximately 590 kilometres west of Honiara in the Solomon Islands and is classified as a category 3 cyclone, producing wind gusts of up to 185 km/h. Meteorologists from the Bureau of Meteorology predict that Maila may make landfall at Cape York this weekend, although its exact path remains uncertain. There is a possibility that it could strengthen to a category 4 cyclone, with sustained winds between 160 to 199 km/h, before weakening back to category 3. The warm sea temperatures, which contributed to Narelle's power, continue to fuel Maila's intensity. The last cyclone to cross Queensland's coast in April was Severe Tropical Cyclone Ita in 2014, which made landfall near Cooktown.
