Tropical Cyclone Maila is weakening in the Solomon Sea.

Area affected
Warning zone
None.

Watch zone
None.

Cancelled zone
None.

At 10:00 am Australian Eastern Standard Time
At 10:00 am AEST

Intensity
category 1, sustained winds near the centre of 65 kilometres per hour with wind gusts to 95 kilometres per hour

Location
within 35 kilometres of 8.0 degrees South, 154.5 degrees East, 620 kilometres west northwest of Honiara and 830 kilometres east northeast of Port Moresby

Movement
slow moving

Tropical Cyclone Maila is expected to remain slow moving in the Solomon Sea during the rest of today. On Sunday, Maila is forecast to begin tracking west-southwest, possibly affecting southeastern Papua New Guinea before entering the Coral Sea early next week.

Maila is forecast to weaken in the Solomon Sea, near southeastern Papua New Guinea during the rest of the weekend, and there is only a Low chance that it emerges into the Coral Sea as a tropical cyclone.

Maila may then track through the Coral Sea towards the Far North Queensland coast. However, it is likely to be below tropical cyclone intensity well before reaching the coast.

TROPICAL CYCLONE INFORMATION BULLETIN
Issued at 4:38 pm EST on Friday 10 April 2026

At 4 pm AEST Friday, Tropical Cyclone Maila (Category 2) with central pressure
975 hPa was located near latitude 8.4 south longitude 154.4 east, which is
about 620 km west of Honiara and 810 km east of Port Moresby.

The cyclone is slow moving.

Tropical Cyclone Maila remains slow moving in the Solomon Sea, and has weakened
to category 2. Maila is expected to continue to slowly weaken over the coming
days as it moves southwest, impacting the southeastern parts of Papua New
Guinea before moving into the Coral Sea.

From Sunday, Maila may track west southwest towards the Far North Queensland
coast, possibly crossing Cape York Peninsula next week. Another possible
scenario is for Maila to weaken in the Solomon Sea or over southeast Papua New
Guinea over the weekend and not cross the Queensland coast as a tropical
cyclone.

The next Information Bulletin will be issued by 11:00 pm AEST Friday 10 April.

Severe Tropical Cyclone Maila, 37U, is currently located over the Solomon Sea and is moving slowly west. Maila has started to weaken, and is expected to continue slowly weakening over the coming days. During Friday Maila is expected to start moving to the southwest and it is forecast to impact the southeastern parts of Papua New Guinea before moving into the Coral Sea.

From Sunday, Maila may track west southwest towards the Far North Queensland coast, possibly crossing Cape York Peninsula early next week. Another possible scenario is Maila weakens near or over southeast Papua New Guinea over the weekend and does not cross the Queensland coast as a tropical cyclone.
