Heavy downpours in the region have already caused widespread destruction in Fiji and Solomon Islands.
The director of the Regional Tropical Cyclone Warning Centre in Nadi, Fiji, Rajendra Prasad, said the cyclone season finishes at the end of April.
He said more weather depressions and a few cyclones are expected to hit the Southern Pacific.
“We have the South Pacific Conversion Zone, which is a main rainfall-producing system for the South Pacific Region, really active over the last three weeks or so and continuing to be active,” he said.
“We also have the extension of monsoonal trough all the way from Indonesia extending onto northern parts of Australia, Papua New Guinea and Solomon Islands,” he added.
“So the two systems in a way combined and we have opposing winds and some of them have formed into tropical depressions.”
