I'm now going to refer to Oma as 🌀 Severe Subtropical Storm Ex-Tropical Cyclone Oma (I decided to use my own Tropical Cyclone Scale instead of the Original SSHWS to fall xack on when storms go subtropical since ATCS doesn't do Subtropical Cyclones).

The Bureau of Meteorology is calling it a Subtropical Low however it still has 50kt winds (10min) which means it still has Category 2 winds on the ATCS (Australian Tropical Cyclone Scale)

Honestly I've contacted the Bureau before with the question on why they don't make a extension of ATCS for Subtropical Systems, but they replied with "It is a good idea but hard to put in action.".

As well there have been Subtropical Cyclones that have landfelled with bordering on Cat 3 and tdey were treating it as if it were a Tropical Depression it is dangerous.
