Rare triple landfall possible for cyclone Narelle in Australia

Cyclone Narelle is forecast as a Category 4 system expected to make at least two landfalls on Australia's north coast, with a rare possibility of a third landfall. This raises near-term risk to coastal infrastructure and transport hubs, with potential disruptions to ports, shipping and local supply chains in affected regions. Monitor updates for landfall timing and intensity to assess insurer loss exposure and operational impacts.
