List Of South Pacific Cyclone Seasons
The South Pacific cyclone season is the period in a year when tropical cyclones usually form in the South Pacific basin Ocean, between 160°E and 120°W, which is the international area of responsibility for Fiji Meteorological Service's RSMC Nadi tropical cyclone warning centre. Each section within the list notes how many tropical disturbances and tropical depressions developed during the season, while the number of tropical disturbances intensifying into tropical cyclones and ultimately Severe Tropical Cyclones are also noted. In this region a tropical disturbance is classified as a tropical cyclone, when it has 10-minute sustained wind speeds of more than 65 km/h (35 mph), that wrap halfway around the low level circulation centre, while a severe tropical cyclone is classified when the maximum 10-minute sustained wind speeds are greater than 120 km/h (75 mph).
Between the 1991–92 and the 1997–98 cyclone seasons, conditions were generally dominated by a warm episode (El Niño) of the El Niño-Southern Oscillation, which along with other factors led to above average seasons being observed in 1991–92, 1992–93, 1996–97 and the 1997–98 cyclone seasons. However a cold episode (La Nina) of the El Niño-Southern Oscillation developed during the 1998–99 cyclone season and has generally dominated seasons since, with below to near average seasons being generally observed.
