Cyclone Cliff

Cyclone Cliff (RSMC Nadi designation 14F, JTWC designation 23P) was the 14th Tropical Disturbance, 12th tropical depression and the sixth tropical cyclone, as well as the last tropical disturbance, of the 2006–07 South Pacific cyclone season that formed west of 160E. Cliff was also the eighth tropical cyclone within the Southern Pacific Ocean as a whole. The Joint Typhoon Warning Center also recognized Cliff as the 23rd Tropical Cyclone in the Southern Hemisphere and the 10th within the South Pacific.

Cyclone Cliff formed as a tropical depression on April 3 to the northwest of Fiji. The next day after it had made landfall the depression was upgraded to tropical cyclone status and was named Cliff. Over the next few days Cliff gradually intensified into a category two Cyclone on the Australian Tropical Cyclone Scale whilst remaining at Tropical Storm status on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale. As Cliff moved into TCWC Wellington's area of responsibility Cliff started to show signs of starting its extra tropical transition so as a result TCWC Wellington issued their final advisory on April 6 on former tropical cyclone Cliff. Cyclone Cliff was responsible for one death. In the wake of the storm, an outbreak of typhoid and leptospirosis infected 99 people and killed three across Fiji.
