Ocean. They predicted that the Western region between 142.5°E and 165°E, had a 60% chance of seeing activity above its average of 4 tropical cyclones. The BoM also predicted that the Eastern Region between 165°E and 120°W, had a 45% chance of seeing activity above its average of 6 tropical cyclones. Within their outlook the FMS predicted that between four and six tropical cyclones would occur within the basin compared to an average of around 7. At least one of these tropical cyclones was expected to intensify further and become a Category 3 or higher severe tropical cyclone.
2631: 40: 5134: 536:. Following the same day, another disturbance formed and intensified into a depression the next day. 01F became a remnant low and was absorbed by Tropical Depression 02F. On December 13, 15:00 UTC, 02F intensified into a Category 1 tropical cyclone, giving it the name Yasa. It quickly strengthened into a Category 5 tropical cyclone before impacting Fiji. 03F intensified into Category 1 tropical cyclone Zazu, strengthening to Category 2. Yasa became the third most intense tropical cyclone of 2020, behind only 1280:, about 250 km (155 mi) to the east of Suva, Fiji. At this stage, the system was poorly organised and located to the south of a ridge of high pressure, in an area of moderate to high vertical wind shear. Later that day the system developed into a tropical depression and caused gale-force winds over the Lau Islands, before it was last noted by the FMS during the next day as it moved out of the tropics. Strong winds and heavy rainfall associated with the depression affected 505:
neutral and El Nino conditions occurring during the season. The outlook called for a near-average number of tropical cyclones for the 2020–21 season, with nine to twelve named tropical cyclones, predicted to occur between 135°E and 120°W, compared to an average of just over 10. At least four of the tropical cyclones were expected to intensify further and become severe tropical cyclones, while it was noted that a Category 5 severe tropical cyclone could occur during the season.
532:, starting the 2020–21 South Pacific Ocean cyclone season, it gradually intensified into a depression and attained a tropical storm status according to JTWC. It reached at the maximum 10 minutes sustained wind speed of 55 km/h (35 mph) and minimum pressure of 1000 mb (29.53 inHg). Another disturbance formed near the existing 01F and rapidly intensified into a depression. It hampered the system intensification due to 1586:. It strengthened to a tropical depression as it tracked to the south. However, the FMS ceased their warnings on 09F as it moved out of the tropics. The JTWC on the other hand had upgraded the system to Tropical Cyclone 20P early on February 10, with 1-minute sustained winds of 85 km/h (53 mph). However, the JTWC also issued their final warning on 09F as it accelerated south-southeastward and became extratropical. 1771: 1402: 1309: 876: 713: 5307: 1906: 1686: 1606: 1518: 1224: 1073: 992: 599: 953:, reaching Category 2 status on the Australian scale on December 15, despite struggling with the effects of westerly wind shear. During December 16, the system moved into MetService's area of responsibility, before they reclassified it as an extratropical low later that day. Zazu's extratropical remnant continued southward for another day, before turning eastward on December 18, and dissipating a day later. 827:(SSHWS), developing a well-defined and obvious eye, while continuing to become more symmetrical. By 00:00 UTC on December 16, Yasa had intensified into a Category 5-equivalent tropical cyclone on the SSHWS, with 1-minute sustained winds of 260 km/h (160 mph). At 18:00 UTC, Yasa's maximum 10-minute sustained winds increased to 230 km/h (140 mph), with a minimum atmospheric pressure of 917 1081: 1204:, with 10-minute sustained winds of 120 km/h (75 mph). During February 1, the system rapidly weakened into a subtropical low, as its low-level circulation center became exposed and moved south-eastwards into an area of high vertical wind shear. Over the next few days, Ana moved south-eastwards over the South Pacific Ocean as a subtropical low, before it was last noted during February 3. 1779: 1410: 1881:, several ships were forced aground on the coast. 400 people were also housed in three evacuation centers. Another estimate placed over 69,000 total customers without power in the country. Rainfall was less than anticipated, with a report of 50 mm (2.0 in) of rain falling in six hours. Vegetation and crops were damaged as well, though the true extent of damage is unknown. 1317: 884: 721: 3139: 1526: 1914: 1694: 1614: 1232: 1000: 607: 1978:
the Equator and 25°S and between 160°E and 120°W are named by the FMS. However, if a tropical depression reaches tropical cyclone strength to the south of 25°S between 160°E and 120°W, it will be named by MetService in conjunction with the FMS. Should a tropical cyclone move out of the basin and into the Australian region, it will retain its original name. The names
843:, Yasa moved into an area of unfavorable conditions, causing the storm to rapidly weaken, with Yasa weakening into a Category 3 severe tropical cyclone later that day. Yasa continued its weakening trend as it turned southward, dropping to Category 1 tropical cyclone status in late December 18. Late on December 19, Yasa transitioned into an 265:(JTWC) will also monitor the basin and issue unofficial warnings for American interests.

Over the next couple of days, the system gradually moved westwards before the FMS classified it as a tropical depression during December 11, while it was located about 280 km (175 mi) to the west of the Fijian Dependency of Rotuma. At 00:00

However, Bina soon became very disorganized and was downgraded to a tropical depression on the morning of February 1. It further weakened to an area of low pressure on the same day as it became even more disorganized. 823:
This was the earliest date a Category 5 South Pacific tropical cyclone formed on record and only the second Category 5 South Pacific tropical cyclone recorded in December. Yasa continued its rapid intensification trend and further intensified to the equivalent of a high-end Category 4 tropical cyclone on the

Early on January 27, the storm strengthened into a tropical depression. The FMS ceased advisories on the system, late on January 28. 1962:
On April 8, the BoM started to monitor a tropical low in the northeastern Australian Region.
