Cyclone Clare
Severe Tropical Cyclone Clare was a moderately strong cyclone that struck Western Australia in January 2006. The storm formed as an area of low pressure in the Arafura Sea, and moved westward. After receiving the name Clare on 7 January, the system ultimately peaked at Category 3 intensity on the Australian tropical cyclone scale. It moved ashore on the coast of Pilbara and proceeded inland, dissipating on 10 January. Clare produced winds of at Karratha and triggered widespread torrential rainfall that led to flooding. Following its usage, the name ''Clare'' was retired by the Bureau of Meteorology, and will never be used again for a tropical cyclone in the area.
==Meteorological history==
On 4 January 2006, a weak area of low pressure was situated in the Arafura Sea. It moved westward, and by 6 January, it was located in the Timor Sea. That same day, both the United States Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC) and the Australian Bureau of Meteorology (BoM) identified the system as a tropical disturbance.〔(【引用サイトリンク】accessdate=31 January 2010 )〕 On 7 January, the low began to show signs of strengthening. Continuing to organise, the BoM designated it as Tropical Cyclone Clare shortly thereafter. At the time, it was centred approximately to the north of Broome and moving west-southwestward.〔 The JTWC classified the cyclone, locally designated 05S, as a tropical storm at 1800 UTC.〔
By early on 8 January, the storm had begun to steadily gain power. Later that day, Clare achieved severe tropical cyclone status while located around north of Port Hedland. Tracking southwestward, the storm continued to mature.〔 On 9 January, the JTWC estimated the storm to have peaked in intensity with maximum sustained 1-minute winds of 110 km/h (70 mph) and a minimum barometric pressure of 980 millibars.〔 However, the BoM reported the storm to have been somewhat more intense, with sustained 10-minute winds of 140 km/h (85 mph) and a barometric pressure of 964 millibars.〔 This made Clare a Category 3 on the Australian tropical cyclone scale.
Clare maintained roughly the same intensity as its track became more southerly. At 1600 UTC on 9 January the storm made landfall at Pilbara to the west of Dampier. Heading ashore, the storm began to quickly deteriorate,〔 and both the JTWC and the BoM declared it dissipated on 10 January as it continued southward.〔〔 Throughout the storm's course, the JTWC's intensity estimates were below that of the BoM. Also, it is reported that the cyclone's presentation on satellite was not representative of its actual intensity.〔
