Storm 98P (jasper?) as seen by FNMOCSummer may be over according to the calender, however Mother Nature has made her intentions clear with the Whitsundays experiencing strong winds and some heavy showers last night. Tree litter on the roads started appearing before sunset. If this tropical low develops into a cyclone, it will be called Jasper.
Here is the Bureau of Meteorology's latest advice about the storm:
