Storm Names

[edit]

South Pacific tropical cyclones are usually assigned names by the RSMC in Nadi, or Fiji Meteorological Service.[1] As soon as a tropical depression becomes a tropical cyclone it is named by the warning centre having responsibility for it at that time. If a tropical depression becomes a tropical cyclone in the Wellington RSMC area of responsibility, MetService, in consultation with RSMC Nadi, will name the cyclone by using the next name from the list.[2] Names in gray were unused, names in bold were used, and names in red and bold were retired.
