Cyclone Readiness & Climate Signals: Communities across the Pacific are being urged to stay vigilant as cyclone season continues, with warnings that even weaker storms can bring damaging rain and that people should follow daily updates from national meteorological services. El Niño Watch: The region is also tracking a strengthening El Niño, with forecasts pointing to warmer Pacific waters that can shift storm tracks and give cyclones more time to intensify before reaching places like Guam and the CNMI. Local Knowledge for Early Warning: In Fiji, Indigenous farmers are still using nature-based signs—like how wild yam vines grow, plus observations of bees, hornets and sea behaviour—to help communities prepare months ahead of the cyclone season. Sustainable Ocean Tourism: The Pacific Tourism Organisation joined Pacific leaders at the Ocean Business Leaders Summit in Australia, highlighting how tourism can support ocean stewardship, conservation and climate adaptation. Niue Connection (Gender Diversity): A Global Voices feature notes Niue’s fiafifine as part of long-standing Pacific traditions of gender fluidity beyond the gender binary.
