Maximum winds were estimated at 250 km/h (155 mph ) by the Bureau of Meteorology while the JTWC assessed it to have attained winds of 285 km/h (180 mph ). Using the Dvorak technique, the peak intensity of the cyclone was estimated at T-number of 7.5 according to the Satellite Analysis Branch (), yet the Advanced Dvorak Technique of the CIMSS automatically estimated at T8.0, the highest ranking on the Dvorak Scale.
