The season ran from November 1, 2011, to April 30, 2012, however, any tropical cyclones that form before June 30, 2012, would have fallen within the 2011–12 tropical cyclone year and would have counted towards the season total. The strongest and only severe tropical cyclone that occurred during the season was Severe Tropical Cyclone Jasmine, which tracked in from out of the South Pacific basin. Within the basin, tropical cyclones are monitored by the Regional Specialized Meteorological Center (RSMC) in Nadi, Fiji, and the Tropical Cyclone Warning Center (TCWC) in Wellington, New Zealand. RSMC Nadi attaches an F designation to tropical disturbances that form in or move into the South Pacific. The United States Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC) issues unofficial warnings within the South Pacific, designating tropical storm-equivalent or greater tropical cyclones with a number and a P suffix. RSMC Nadi and TCWC Wellington both use the Australian Tropical Cyclone Intensity Scale, and measure windspeeds over a period of ten minutes, while the JTWC measures sustained winds over a period of one minute and uses the Saffir–Simpson hurricane scale.http://www.wmo.int/pages/prog/www/tcp/documents/TCP24-English2008.pdf March 10, 2009 RA V Tropical Cyclone Committee World Meteorological Organization Tropical Cyclone Operational Plan for the Southwest Indian Ocean and the Southern Pacific Ocean July 5, 2011 https://web.archive.org/web/20110722013747/http://www.wmo.int/pages/prog/www/tcp/documents/TCP24-English2008.pdf July 22, 2011 live __TOC__ Seasonal forecasts Source/Record Region TropicalCyclone SevereTropicalCyclones RefRecords Average (1969–70 – 2010–11): 160°E – 120°W 9 4 Fiji Meteorological Service Tropical Cyclone Guidance for Season 2010/11 for the Fiji and the Southwest Pacific Climate Services Division October 26, 2010 May 19, 2024 http://www.pacificdisaster.net/doc/FMS_2010_TC_Guide2010_2011.pdf https://web.archive.org/web/20240519224155/http://www.pacificdisaster.net/doc/FMS_2010_TC_Guide2010_2011.pdf live May 19, 20242011-12 Tropical Cyclone Season Outlook in the Regional Specialised Meteorological Centre Nadi – Tropical Cyclone Centre (RSMC Nadi – TCC) Area of Responsibility (AOR) February 11, 2025 October 27, 2011 Fiji Meteorological Service http://www.pacificdisaster.net/doc/FMS_2011_12_Regional_TCseaason_outlook.pdf https://web.archive.org/web/20250211001252/http://www.pacificdisaster.net/doc/FMS_2011_12_Regional_TCseaason_outlook.pdf February 11, 2025 dead Record high: 160°E – 120°W 1997–98: 16 1982–83:10 Record low: 160°E – 120°W 2003–04: 3 2008–09: 0 Predictions FMS 135°E – 120°W 5–8 4–5 NIWA October 135°E – 120°W 5–8 — http://www.niwa.co.nz/news/southwest-pacific-tropical-cyclone-outlook-below-average-numbers-likely-but-increased-activity-in-th Southwest Pacific Tropical Cyclone Outlook: Below average numbers likely, but increased activity in the late season near North Queensland and French Polynesia New Zealand's National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research October 18, 2011 https://web.archive.org/web/20140525233819/http://www.niwa.co.nz/news/southwest-pacific-tropical-cyclone-outlook-below-average-numbers-likely-but-increased-activity-in-th May 25, 2014 May 25, 2014 live NIWA February 135°E – 120°W 8–10 — http://www.niwa.co.nz/news/southwest-pacific-tropical-cyclone-outlook-feb-2012 Southwest Pacific Tropical Cyclone Outlook - Feb 2012 New Zealand's National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research February 9, 2012 https://web.archive.org/web/20121023231906/http://www.niwa.co.nz/news/southwest-pacific-tropical-cyclone-outlook-feb-2012 February 11, 2025 October 23, 2012 live Actual activity: 160°E – 120°W 3 1 Ahead of the season officially starting on November 1, the Fiji Meteorological Service (FMS) and New Zealand's National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research (NIWA), both issued a tropical cyclone outlook that discussed the upcoming season. These outlooks took into account a variety of factors such as a developing weak to moderate La Niña event and what had happened in previous seasons such as 1971–72, 1974–75, 1976–77, 1983–84, 1985–86, 1985–86, 2000–01, 2005–06, 2007–08 and 2008–09. The Southwest Pacific tropical cyclone outlook issued by New Zealand's National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research (NIWA) in conjunction with MetService and various other Pacific meteorological services, predicted that five to eight tropical cyclones would occur over the South Pacific Ocean between 135°E and 120°W. The outlook also predicted that one of these tropical cyclones would intensify further and become either a Category three, four or five severe tropical cyclone on the Australian tropical cyclone intensity scale. In addition to contributing towards the Southwest Pacific tropical cyclone outlook, the FMS predicted that between five and eight tropical cyclones would occur within the basin, while four or five of these tropical cyclones were expected to intensify further and become either a category three, four or five severe tropical cyclone on the Australian scale. Both outlooks also predicted that the majority of systems would occur to the west of the International Dateline, which as a result meant that New Caledonia and Vanuatu had a high chance of being impacted by a tropical cyclone. It was also predicted that Fiji, Tonga and the Cook Islands had a moderate to high risk of being impacted by a tropical cyclone, while Niue, Wallis & Futuna, Samoa and the Solomon Islands all had a moderate risk. During February 2012, after two tropical cyclones had already occurred in the Australian region, NIWA updated its seasonal outlook and suggested that between 8 and 10 tropical cyclones would occur over the region during the season. Seasonal summary Despite predictions of between 5-8 tropical cyclones occurring within the South Pacific Basin, with only two tropical cyclones developing in the basin, while Jasmine moved in from the Australian region. The first tropical disturbance of the season developed on November 13, to the north-east of Fiji and moved south-eastwards before it weakened into an area of low pressure during November 17, as it affected Fiji. On February 6, Cyclone Jasmine moved into RSMC Nadi's area of responsibility, and became the first named tropical cyclone since Tropical Cyclone Bune, the previous March, to exist in the South Pacific basin.

Tropical depressions that intensify into a tropical cyclone between the Equator and 25°S and between 160°E and 120°W are named by the FMS. However, should a tropical depression intensify to the south of 25°S between 160°E and 120°W it will be named by MetService in conjunction with the FMS. If a tropical cyclone moves out of the basin and into the Australian region, it will retain its original name. The name Daphne would be used for the first (and only) time this year, after replacing the name Drena after the 1996-97 season. The names that were used for the 2011-12 season are listed below: Cyril Daphne If a tropical cyclone enters the South Pacific basin from the Australian region basin (west of 160°E), it will retain the name assigned to it by the Australian Bureau of Meteorology. The following storms were named in this manner: Jasmine Retirement No names were retired after this season, however, in 2023, the name Daphne was replaced with Danial. Additionally, while not forming in the basin, the name Jasmine was retired and replaced with Jenna. Season effects This table lists all the storms that developed in the South Pacific to the east of longitude 160°E during the 2011–2012 season.
