The 2021–22 Australian region cyclone season is the period of the year when most tropical cyclones form in the Southern Indian Ocean and Pacific Oceans between 90°E and 160°E. The current season began from 1 November 2021 and will end on 30 April 2022, however, a tropical cyclone could form at any time between 1 July 2021 and 30 June 2022 and would count towards the season total.
