They will classify once it hits water, probably.
It's not a tropical cyclone according to the universal definition of a tropical cyclone. Its center must be over water to be designated according to the standards of both BOM and JTWC.

They have been calling it a "monsoon low" although this one is actually as strong as their definition of a tropical cyclone, whereas most others in the past were not.
