The season ran from November 1, 2013, to April 30, 2014, however, the first four tropical disturbances occurred during October 2013 and were included as a part of the season. During the season, tropical cyclones were officially monitored by the Fiji Meteorological Service (FMS), Australian Bureau of Meteorology (BoM) and New Zealand's MetService. The United States Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC) and other national meteorological services including Météo-France and NOAA also monitored the basin during the season. During the season there were 21 significant tropical disturbances were assigned a number and an "F" suffix by the FMS's Regional Specialized Meteorological Center in Nadi, Fiji (RSMC Nadi), including the remnants of Tropical Cyclone Hadi from the Australian region. The BoM, MetService and RSMC Nadi all estimated sustained wind speeds over a period of 10-minutes and used the Australian tropical cyclone intensity scale, while the JTWC estimated sustained winds over a 1-minute period, which are subsequently compared to the Saffir–Simpson hurricane wind scale (SSHS). __TOC__ Seasonal forecasts Source/Record TropicalCyclone SevereTropical CycloneRef Record high: 1997–98: 16 1982–83:10 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, 2024 Record low: 2011–12: 3 2008–09: 0 Average (1969–70 – 2012–13): 7.4 — 2013/14 Tropical Cyclone Season Outlook in the Regional Specialised Meteorological Centre Nadi – Tropical Cyclone Centre Area of Responsibility http://www.met.gov.fj/aifs_prods/RSMCNadi2013_14TropicalCycloneGuidanceSummary_11Oct2013_2_.pdf Fiji Meteorological Service October 15, 2013 RSMC Nadi – Tropical Cyclone Centre https://web.archive.org/web/20131021035744/http://www.met.gov.fj/aifs_prods/RSMCNadi2013_14TropicalCycloneGuidanceSummary_11Oct2013_2_.pdf October 21, 2013 October 11, 2013 live 2 RSMC Nadi 4–8 2–4 NIWA 8–12 4 Actual 6 2 RegionChance of aboveaverage activityAveragenumberActualactivity Southern Pacific48%158 Western South Pacific56%84 Eastern South Pacific47%114Source:BOM's Seasonal Outlooks for Tropical Cyclones.2013–2014 South Pacific Tropical Cyclone Season Outlook Australian Bureau of Meteorology National Climate Centre http://www.bom.gov.au/climate/ahead/south-pacific/tc.shtml October 16, 2013 October 16, 2013 https://web.archive.org/web/20131105080550/http://www.bom.gov.au/climate/ahead/south-pacific/tc.shtml November 5, 2013 dead Ahead of the cyclone season, the BoM, the FMS, MetService, the New Zealand National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research (NIWA) and various other Pacific Meteorological services, all contributed towards the Island Climate Update tropical cyclone outlook that was released during October 2013.http://www.niwa.co.nz/news/southwest-pacific-tropical-cyclone-outlook-near-average-tropical-cyclone-numbers-for-the-region-is-l Southwest Pacific Tropical Cyclone Outlook: Near average tropical cyclone numbers for the region is likely, with increased activity in the late season The National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research October 11, 2013 October 21, 2013http://blog.metservice.com/2013/10/tropical-cyclone-season-2013-14/ Tropical cyclone season 2014 Meteorological Service of New Zealand October 29, 2013 November 3, 2013 Law, John https://web.archive.org/web/20131030062731/http://blog.metservice.com/2013/10/tropical-cyclone-season-2013-14/ 2013-10-30 dead The outlook took into account the ENSO neutral conditions that had been observed across the Pacific and analogue seasons that had ENSO neutral conditions occurring during the season. The outlook called for a near average number of tropical cyclones for the 2013–14 season, with eight to twelve named tropical cyclones, to occur between 135°E and 120°W compared to an average of 10. At least four of the tropical cyclones were expected to become category 3 severe tropical cyclones, while three could become category 4 severe tropical cyclones, they also noted that a Category 5 severe tropical cyclone was unlikely to occur. In addition to contributing towards the Island Climate Update outlook, the FMS and the BoM both issued their own seasonal forecasts for the South Pacific region. The BoM issued 3 seasonal forecasts for the South Pacific region between 142.5°E and 120°W, one for the Western Southern Pacific region between 142.5°E and 165°E and one for the Eastern Southern Pacific region between 165°E and 120°W. They noted that the tropical Pacific Ocean was currently experiencing neutral ENSO conditions which meant that there was no strong shift expected in the average location of tropical cyclone formation. They also noted that there was nothing in the broad climate drivers to suggest anything, but a typical tropical cyclone season for the South Pacific region. As a result, they predicted that the South Pacific region as a whole, would experience near average tropical cyclone activity during the coming season with a 48% chance of it being above average. The Western region was predicted to have 56% chance of being above average while the Eastern region had a 47% chance of being above average. Within their outlook the FMS predicted that between four and eight tropical cyclones, would occur within the basin compared to an average of around 7.4 cyclones. At least two of the tropical cyclones were expected to become category 3 severe tropical cyclones, while 1–2 might intensify into a category 4 or 5 severe tropical cyclones. They also reported that the tropical cyclone genesis trough was expected to be located near to and to the west of the International Date Line. This was based on the expected and predicted ENSO conditions, and the existence of the Pacific warm pool of sub-surface temperature anomalies in this region. The FMS and Island Climate Update tropical cyclone outlooks both assessed, the risk of a tropical cyclone affecting a certain island or territory. As the tropical cyclone genesis trough of low pressure was expected to be located near to and to the west of the International Date Line, normal or slightly above normal activity was expected for areas near the dateline. It was also predicted that activity between Vanuatu and New Caledonia, as well as east of the International Date Line to be normal or below normal during the season. The Island Climate Update Outlook predicted that Vanuatu and New Caledonia had a reduced chance of being affected by multiple tropical cyclones. The Cook Islands, Fiji, Papua New Guinea, Tuvalu, Tokelau, Samoan Islands, Solomon Islands, Tonga, Wallis and Futuna and French Polynesia's Austral and Society Islands were all predicted to have a normal chance of being affected by a tropical cyclone. Niue and New Zealand were predicted to face an elevated risk while French Polynesia's Tuamotu Archipelago and Marquesas Islands, Kiribati and the Pitcairn Islands, had an unlikely chance of being affected by a tropical cyclone. The FMS outlook predicted that the Cook and Samoan Islands, Tokelau and Niue had a below average risk of being affected by a tropical cyclone. The Solomon Islands, Wallis and Futuna, Vanuatu and Tonga were predicted to face an average risk of being affected by a tropical cyclone. New Caledonia, Tuvalu and Fiji were predicted to face an above average chance of being affected by a tropical cyclone. The FMS also predicted that there was an increased risk of severe tropical cyclones, affecting the region this year when compared to the previous season.2013/2014 Tropical Cyclone Season Outlook inside Fiji's Area of Responsibility http://www.met.gov.fj/aifs_prods/mediaRelease2013_14.pdf https://web.archive.org/web/20140207110320/http://www.met.gov.fj/aifs_prods/mediaRelease2013_14.pdf Fiji Meteorological Service February 7, 2014 October 14, 2013 January 14, 2014 Waqaicelua, Alipate dead There was a very high risk of Wallis and Futuna, Tonga, Fiji and New Caledonia being affected by a severe tropical cyclone. The Samoan Islands, Tokelau, Niue, Solomon Islands and Vanuatu had a high risk, while the Cook Islands had a low to moderate risk of being affected by a severe tropical cyclone.

The system was subsequently last noted on October 26, as it moved through the island nation of Vanuatu. Tropical Depression 03F was briefly noted on October 22, to the northeast of Honiara on the Solomon Island of Guadalcanal. Tropical Depression 04F developed on October 25, to the southeast of Honiara and affected the islands before RSMC Nadi issued its final advisory on the system during October 27, as it was not expected to develop into a tropical cyclone.

Storm names Tropical cyclone naming Within the Southern Pacific a tropical depression is judged to have reached tropical cyclone intensity should it reach winds of 65 km/h mph on and it is evident that gales are occurring at least halfway around the center. 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 names Kofi and Mike would be used for the first time this year, after replacing the names Keli, and Martin after the 1996-97 and 1997-98 seasons respectively. The names that were used for the 2013-14 season are listed below: Ian June Kofi Lusi Mike 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: Edna Hadi Retirement After the season, the names Ian, and Lusi were both retired, and replaced with Isa and Louise respectively. Season effects This table lists all the storms that developed in the South Pacific to the east of longitude 160°E during the 2013–2014 season. It includes their intensity on the Australian tropical cyclone intensity scale, duration, name, landfalls, deaths, and damages. All data is taken from RSMC Nadi and/or TCWC Wellington, and all of the damage figures are in 2014 USD. |- | 01 01F || 131019 October 19–20 || bgcolor=#disturbance|0 Tropical disturbance || bgcolor=#DI|000 Not specified || bgcolor=#DI|1004 1004 hPa inHg 4 on || Solomon Islands, Vanuatu || None || None || |- | 02 02F || 131019 October 19–23 || bgcolor=#TD|1 Tropical depression || bgcolor=#TD|000 Not specified || bgcolor=#TD|1002 1002 hPa inHg 4 on || Kiribati, Vanuatu || None || None || |- | 03 03F || 131021 October 21–22 || bgcolor=#TD|1 Tropical depression || bgcolor=#TD|000 Not specified || bgcolor=#TD|1005 1005 hPa inHg 4 on || Solomon Islands || None || None || |- | 04 04F || 131025 October 25–27 || bgcolor=#TD|1 Tropical depression || bgcolor=#TD|000 Not specified || bgcolor=#TD|1007 1007 hPa inHg 4 on || Solomon Islands || None || None || |- | 05 05F || 131209 December 9–13 || bgcolor=#TD|1 Tropical depression || bgcolor=#TD|000 Not specified || bgcolor=#TD|0999 999 hPa inHg 4 on || Fiji, Tonga || None || None || |- | 06 06F || 131223 December 23–29 || bgcolor=#disturbance|0 Tropical disturbance || bgcolor=#DI|000 Not specified || bgcolor=#DI|1003 1003 hPa inHg 4 on || Vanuatu || None || None || |- | 07 Ian || 140102 January 2–14 || bgcolor=#A5|5 Category 5 severe tropical cyclone || bgcolor=#A5|205 205 km/h mph on 5 || bgcolor=#A5|0930 930 hPa inHg 4 on || Fiji, Tonga || 120000000 $ || 1 || |- | 08 June || 140113 January 13–19 || bgcolor=#A1|2 Category 1 tropical cyclone || bgcolor=#A1|075 75 km/h mph on 5 || bgcolor=#A1|0990 990 hPa inHg 4 on || Solomon Islands, New Caledonia, New Zealand || Minor || 1 || |- | 09 09F || 140121 January 21–24 || bgcolor=#TD|1 Tropical depression || bgcolor=#TD|000 Not specified || bgcolor=#TD|1004 1004 hPa inHg 4 on || Cook Islands, Niue, Tonga || None || None || |- | 10 10F || 140122 January 22–24 || bgcolor=#DI|0 Tropical disturbance || bgcolor=#DI|000 Not specified || bgcolor=#DI|1004 1004 hPa inHg 4 on || Solomon Islands || None || None || |- | 11 11F || 140129 January 29 || bgcolor=#DI|0 Tropical disturbance || bgcolor=#DI|000 Not specified || bgcolor=#DI|1000 1000 hPa inHg 4 on || Fiji || None || None || |- | 12 Edna || 140204 February 4–6 || bgcolor=#A2|2 Category 2 tropical cyclone || bgcolor=#A2|095 95 km/h mph on 5 || bgcolor=#A2|0985 985 hPa inHg 4 on || New Caledonia, New Zealand || None || None || |- | 13 13F || 140216 February 16–19 || bgcolor=#DI|0 Tropical disturbance || bgcolor=#DI|000 Not specified || bgcolor=#DI|1003 1003 hPa inHg 4 on || Vanuatu, Fiji || None || None || |- | 14 14F || 140223 February 23–26 || bgcolor=#TD|1 Tropical depression || bgcolor=#TD|000 Not specified || bgcolor=#TD|1002 1002 hPa inHg 4 on || Vanuatu, Fiji || None || None || |- | 15 Kofi || 140224 February 24 – March 4 || bgcolor=#A2|3 Category 2 tropical cyclone || bgcolor=#A2|100 100 km/h mph on 5 || bgcolor=#A2|0980 980 hPa inHg 4 on || Fiji, Tonga || None || None || |- | 16 16F/20F (Hadi) || 140226 February 26 – March 18 || bgcolor=#DI|0 Tropical disturbance || bgcolor=#DI|000 Not specified || bgcolor=#DI|1000 1000 hPa inHg 4 on || Solomon Islands, Vanuatu || Unknown || None || |- | 17 17F || 140306 March 6–8 || bgcolor=#DI|0 Tropical disturbance || bgcolor=#DI|000 Not specified || bgcolor=#DI|1005 1005 hPa inHg 4 on || Vanuatu || None || None || |- | 18 Lusi || 140307 March 7–14 || bgcolor=#A3|4 Category 3 severe tropical cyclone || bgcolor=#A3|150 150 km/h mph on 5 || bgcolor=#A3|0960 960 hPa inHg 4 on || Vanuatu, Fiji, New Zealand || 3000000 $ || 10 ||At least three dead as Tropical Cyclone Lusi intensifies (Australia Network News, March 12, 2014) |- | 19 Mike || 140312 March 12–20 || bgcolor=#A1|2 Category 1 tropical cyclone || bgcolor=#A1|065 65 km/h mph on 5 || bgcolor=#A1|0990 990 hPa inHg 4 on || Cook Islands || Minor || None ||http://www.cookislandsnews.com/item/45741-cyclone-mike-leaves-little-damage/45741-cyclone-mike-leaves-little-damage Cyclone Mike leaves little damage www.cookislandsnews.com dead https://web.archive.org/web/20150212050521/http://www.cookislandsnews.com/item/45741-cyclone-mike-leaves-little-damage/45741-cyclone-mike-leaves-little-damage 2015-02-12 |- | 21 21F || 140317 March 17–19 || bgcolor=#TD|1 Tropical depression || bgcolor=#TD|045 45 km/h mph on 5 || bgcolor=#TD|0998 998 hPa inHg 4 on || None || None || None || |- 20 systems October 19 – March 20 205 km/h mph on 5 930 hPa inHg 4 on 123000000 $ 12 See also Tropical cyclones Tropical cyclones in 2013 and 2014 List of South Pacific cyclone seasons Atlantic hurricane seasons: 2013, 2014 Pacific hurricane seasons: 2013, 2014 Pacific typhoon seasons: 2013, 2014 North Indian Ocean cyclone seasons: 2013, 2014 2013–14 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season 2013–14 Australian region cyclone season References 2 External links 2013 y 2010 South Pacific cyclone yes Category:South Pacific cyclone seasons 2013 SPac 2014 SPac
