On 29 July, an area of low pressure, close to the edge of RSMC La Reunion's Area of responsibility, was designated as Tropical Disturbance 01R. However, this number was withdrawn in RSMC La Reunion's post–storm analysis. The JTWC issued a Tropical Cyclone Formation Alert (TCFA) on the developing system on 29 July, and initiated warnings on the tropical cyclone late that day, designating it as Tropical Cyclone 01S. However, by this time, the cyclone had crossed 90E and entered TCWC Perth's Area of Responsibility, which designated it as a Tropical Low and issued shipping warnings on the Tropical Low. Early on 30 July, the tropical cyclone began to dissipate, so the JTWC issued their final advisory on the system on that day. and the Bureau of Meteorology issued its last warning the next day.
