There are three active tropical systems over the Coral Sea and south west Pacific Ocean, two of which are currently tropical cyclones. Tropical Cyclone Lucas is currently over the Coral Sea, south of Papua New Guinea as a Category 2 system (at 11am AEST). It will continue to move east, and then southeast, possibly impacting Vanuatu and New Caledonia as it moves through, however there is still uncertainty about the track. At this stage, it could reach a Severe Category 3 strength later on Monday.
