WMO definition, not mine.
The oooh and aaarrrhh press need to whip up some emotion with their jottings and the word "Cyclone" is one of their favourites.
The SE Queensland press are past masters at this. Everytime it rains in Brisbane they reckon it's a cyclone and the world is about to end.

I'd better go and buy batteries incase there is a cyclone in Roma St.
