Fiji is an island nation located within Melanesia in the South Pacific Ocean about 2000 kilometres (1245 mi) to the northeast of New Zealand and is neighboured by Vanuatu, New Caledonia, Tonga, the Samoan Islands, Wallis and Futuna and Tuvalu. The archipelago consists of 330 islands and 550 islets which include Viti Levu, Vanua Levu and the Lau Islands. Collectively the xxx systems have caused at least $ US in damages and at least xxx deaths. The strongest and most damaging of these systems was Severe Tropical Cyclone Winston, which passed over the islands as a Category 5 severe tropical cyclone where it caused 44 deaths and $1.4 billion in damages.

Tropical cyclones are the most serious natural hazard that Fiji experiences in terms of total damages and economic loss, with the island nation directly impacted by an average of 10 – 12 tropical cyclones during a decade or at least 1 – 2 tropical cyclones each season. Since 1643, at least 300 possible tropical cyclones have affected the Fijian Islands in the south Pacific Ocean. They generally impact the country during the cyclone season between November and the following April, however, systems have impacted the island nation outside of these times. However, there have been at least 14 seasons where no direct impacts to Fiji have been recorded, while five named systems impacted the island nation during the 1992–93 season.

The effects of tropical cyclones on the island nation are most significant at the coast, however, as Fiji is a small country, the whole island nation can be severely impacted by widespread flooding, landslides and storm–force winds. The frequency and intensity of tropical cyclones impacting Fiji is one of the major barriers, to the island nations economic growth and development. The average annual losses to assets from tropical cyclones amount to about FJ$152 million or about 1.6% of the island nations gross domestic product. The worst tropical cyclone on record to impact Fiji was Severe Tropical Cyclone Winston which caused 44 deaths and an estimated 2 billion FJ$ (0.9 billion US$) in damage. The deadliest tropical cyclone was the February 1931 hurricane and flood which caused 225 deaths.

Background edit

The Republic of Fiji is a former British colony located within the South Pacific Ocean, about 2000 kilometres (1245 mi) to the northeast of New Zealand's North Island. The island nation consists of over 330 islands, as well as, over 500 islets and extends from Rotuma in the far north to Ono–i–Lau in the south as well as from Viwa in the west across the 180th meridian to Vatoa in the east. Its closest neighbours are Vanuatu, New Caledonia, Tonga, to the east, the Samoas and France's Wallis and Futuna to the northeast, and Tuvalu to the north. Fiji's tropical cyclone season starts on November 1 and runs through until April 30 of the following year, however, tropical cyclones have impacted the islands outside of this period.[1] On average one to three tropical cyclones directly impact the archipelago every year, however, during some seasons such as the 1997–98 and seasons, no tropical cyclones directly impact the archipelago.[1]

When a tropical cyclone is forecast to impact Fiji, the Fiji Meteorological Service (FMS) issues special weather bulletins, which contain either a tropical cyclone alert or gale, storm and hurricane warnings for various islands.

During December 2020, the Fijian Prime Minster Frank Bainimarama declared a climate emergency, after 12 tropical cyclones had directly impacted Fiji since Severe Tropical Cyclone Evan in 2012.[5]

Weather Service edit

After declaring it's independence from the British Empire in 1970, the government accepted responsibility for operating its own MetService on behalf of the South Pacific Air Transport Council from July 1975.
