A tropical low-pressure system has been identified in the region and is expected to evolve into a tropical disturbance within the next 24 to 48 hours. Weather models suggest that this shallow low is moving closer towards Vanuatu, where conditions appear conducive for further development, including strong upper-level divergence and an uptick in low-level moisture convergence.
According to the Fiji Meteorological Service, the system is projected to shift southeast over open waters situated between Fiji and Vanuatu over the next 48 to 72 hours. Although the environmental factors seem favorable for some intensification, forecasters caution that the chances of the system developing into a tropical cyclone in the coming days remain minimal.
Authorities are committed to closely monitoring the situation and will provide updates should there be any notable changes regarding its development or trajectory. This vigilance helps ensure preparedness and response measures can be implemented if necessary, reinforcing the importance of maintaining a watchful eye on such systems in the region.
