Indonesia is an island country in Southeast Asia and Oceania, located in the Pacific Ocean and the Indian Ocean. The largest island nation in the world, the country is the home of over seventeen thousand islands.

Climatologically, in the Australian basin, most tropical cyclones develop between November and April, or as early as October and as late as May. However, there are some cases, like Typhoon Vamei and Cyclone Viyaru that affected the country, outside the basin. This article includes all tropical cyclone of any intensity that affected the island nation of Indonesia, on all available records and data.

Climatology

The region of Indonesia is not generally traversed by tropical cyclones although a lot of systems have historically formed there. [1] In an analysis of tropical cyclone data from the Bureau of Meteorology since 1907 to 2017 which was published after the dissipation of Cyclone Cempaka found that only around 0.62% of all cyclones in the Australian region during those years occurred north of the 10th parallel south.
