E está aberta a temporada 2007/2008 na região australiana. Na verdade a época começou prematuramente em Julho, com um disturbio tropical sem nome de vida muito curta, ao qual assignaram o 1º numero da época (01P). Nesta região não usam a designação de depressão tropical, mas sim disturbio tropical. Tal como usam o termo Ciclone Tropical quando lhe dão nome, equivalente à designação de Tempestade Tropical no Atlântico por exemplo. Ciclone Tropical GUBA (02P)
O ciclone GUBA é um categoria 2 ou 3 fraco, mas deverá intensificar-se nos próximos dias. O ciclone LEE passou os 90E pelo que entrou na região ciclónica do Sudoeste do Indico, passando a ter o nome de "Ariel", o primeiro ciclone da temporada 2007/2008 nesta região.
