2013–14 South Pacific cyclone season#Tropical Disturbance 10F

Ahead of the cyclone season, the BoM, the FMS, MetService, the New Zealand National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research (NIWA) and various other Pacific Meteorological services, all contributed towards the Island Climate Update tropical cyclone outlook that was released during October 2013.{{cite web|url=http://www.niwa.co.nz/news/southwest-pacific-tropical-cyclone-outlook-near-average-tropical-cyclone-numbers-for-the-region-is-l|title=Southwest Pacific Tropical Cyclone Outlook: Near average tropical cyclone numbers for the region is likely, with increased activity in the late season|publisher=The National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research|date=October 11, 2013|accessdate=October 21, 2013}}{{cite web |url=http://blog.metservice.com/2013/10/tropical-cyclone-season-2013-14/ |title=Tropical cyclone season 2014 |publisher=Meteorological Service of New Zealand |date=October 29, 2013 |accessdate=November 3, 2013 |author=Law, John |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20131030062731/http://blog.metservice.com/2013/10/tropical-cyclone-season-2013-14/ |archivedate=2013-10-30 |url-status=dead }} The outlook took into account the ENSO neutral conditions that had been observed across the Pacific and analogue seasons that had ENSO neutral conditions occurring during the season. The outlook called for a near average number of tropical cyclones for the 2013–14 season, with eight to twelve named tropical cyclones, to occur between 135°E and 120°W compared to an average of 10. At least four of the tropical cyclones were expected to become category 3 severe tropical cyclones, while three could become category 4 severe tropical cyclones, they also noted that a Category 5 severe tropical cyclone was unlikely to occur. In addition to contributing towards the Island Climate Update outlook, the FMS and the BoM both issued their own seasonal forecasts for the South Pacific region.

The BoM issued 3 seasonal forecasts for the South Pacific region between 142.5°E and 120°W, one for the Western Southern Pacific region between 142.5°E and 165°E and one for the Eastern Southern Pacific region between 165°E and 120°W. They noted that the tropical Pacific Ocean was currently experiencing neutral ENSO conditions which meant that there was no strong shift expected in the average location of tropical cyclone formation. They also noted that there was nothing in the broad climate drivers to suggest anything, but a typical tropical cyclone season for the South Pacific region. As a result, they predicted that the South Pacific region as a whole, would experience near average tropical cyclone activity during the coming season with a 48% chance of it being above average. The Western region was predicted to have 56% chance of being above average while the Eastern region had a 47% chance of being above average. Within their outlook the FMS predicted that between four and eight tropical cyclones, would occur within the basin compared to an average of around 7.4 cyclones. At least two of the tropical cyclones were expected to become category 3 severe tropical cyclones, while 1–2 might intensify into a category 4 or 5 severe tropical cyclones. They also reported that the tropical cyclone genesis trough was expected to be located near to and to the west of the International Date Line. This was based on the expected and predicted ENSO conditions, and the existence of the Pacific warm pool of sub-surface temperature anomalies in this region.

The FMS and Island Climate Update tropical cyclone outlooks both assessed, the risk of a tropical cyclone affecting a certain island or territory. As the tropical cyclone genesis trough of low pressure was expected to be located near to and to the west of the International Date Line, normal or slightly above normal activity was expected for areas near the dateline. It was also predicted that activity between Vanuatu and New Caledonia, as well as east of the International Date Line to be normal or below normal during the season. The Island Climate Update Outlook predicted that Vanuatu and New Caledonia had a reduced chance of being affected by multiple tropical cyclones. The Cook Islands, Fiji, Papua New Guinea, Tuvalu, Tokelau, Samoan Islands, Solomon Islands, Tonga, Wallis and Futuna and French Polynesia's Austral and Society Islands were all predicted to have a normal chance of being affected by a tropical cyclone. Niue and New Zealand were predicted to face an elevated risk while French Polynesia's Tuamotu Archipelago and Marquesas Islands, Kiribati and the Pitcairn Islands, had an unlikely chance of being affected by a tropical cyclone. The FMS outlook predicted that the Cook and Samoan Islands, Tokelau and Niue had a below average risk of being affected by a tropical cyclone. The Solomon Islands, Wallis and Futuna, Vanuatu and Tonga were predicted to face an average risk of being affected by a tropical cyclone. New Caledonia, Tuvalu and Fiji were predicted to face an above average chance of being affected by a tropical cyclone. The FMS also predicted that there was an increased risk of severe tropical cyclones, affecting the region this year when compared to the previous season.{{cite press release |title=2013/2014 Tropical Cyclone Season Outlook inside Fiji's Area of Responsibility |url=http://www.met.gov.fj/aifs_prods/mediaRelease2013_14.pdf |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20140207110320/http://www.met.gov.fj/aifs_prods/mediaRelease2013_14.pdf |publisher=Fiji Meteorological Service |archivedate=February 7, 2014 |date=October 14, 2013 |accessdate=January 14, 2014 |author=Waqaicelua, Alipate |url-status=dead }} There was a very high risk of Wallis and Futuna, Tonga, Fiji and New Caledonia being affected by a severe tropical cyclone. The Samoan Islands, Tokelau, Niue, Solomon Islands and Vanuatu had a high risk, while the Cook Islands had a low to moderate risk of being affected by a severe tropical cyclone.

Ahead of the season formally starting on November 1, 2013, three tropical depressions and a tropical disturbance developed, within the Coral Sea during October.{{cite web|date=November 28, 2013 |title=Monthly Global Tropical Cyclone Tracks: October 2013 |publisher=Australian Severe Weather |author=Young, Steve |url=http://www.australiasevereweather.com/cyclones/2014/trak1310.htm |url-status=live |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20131203130217/http://australiasevereweather.com/cyclones/2014/trak1310.htm |archivedate=December 3, 2013 |accessdate=September 14, 2014 }} Tropical Disturbance 01F developed on October 19, to the southeast of the Solomon Islands and moved westwards, as a small compact system before it was last noted during the next day.{{cite web|title=Significant Tropical Weather Outlook for the Western and South Pacific Ocean October 19, 2013 03z |author=Joint Typhoon Warning Center |url=http://www.usno.navy.mil/NOOC/nmfc-ph/RSS/jtwc/ab/abpwweb.txt |publisher=United States Navy, United States Airforce |date=October 19, 2013 |archiveurl=https://archive.today/20240522145920/https://www.webcitation.org/6KVNpSRVC?url=http://gwydir.demon.co.uk/advisories/ABPW10-PGTW_201310190300.htm |archivedate=May 22, 2024 |accessdate=October 19, 2013 |url-status=dead }} Tropical Depression 02F was first noted on October 19, to the northeast of Suva, Fiji, over the next couple of days the system rapidly consolidated further. However, despite having a good chance of developing into a tropical cyclone, atmospheric convection surrounding the system failed to consolidate enough. The system was subsequently last noted on October 26, as it moved through the island nation of Vanuatu. Tropical Depression 03F was briefly noted on October 22, to the northeast of Honiara on the Solomon Island of Guadalcanal. Tropical Depression 04F developed on October 25, to the southeast of Honiara and affected the islands before RSMC Nadi issued its final advisory on the system during October 27, as it was not expected to develop into a tropical cyclone.

{{see also|Tropical cyclone naming}}

Within the Southern Pacific a tropical depression is judged to have reached tropical cyclone intensity should it reach winds of {{convert|65|km/h|mph|abbr=on}} and it is evident that gales are occurring at least halfway around the center. Tropical depressions that intensify into a tropical cyclone between the Equator and 25°S and between 160°E and 120°W are named by the FMS. However, should a tropical depression intensify to the south of 25°S between 160°E and 120°W it will be named by MetService in conjunction with the FMS. If a tropical cyclone moves out of the basin and into the Australian region, it will retain its original name. The names Kofi and Mike would be used for the first time this year, after replacing the names Keli, and Martin after the 1996-97 and 1997-98 seasons respectively. The names that were used for the 2013-14 season are listed below:{{RA V Tropical cyclone operational plan}}

If a tropical cyclone enters the South Pacific basin from the Australian region basin (west of 160°E), it will retain the name assigned to it by the Australian Bureau of Meteorology. The following storms were named in this manner:

• Edna
• Hadi

After the season, the names Ian, and Lusi were both retired, and replaced with Isa and Louise respectively.{{RA V Tropical cyclone operational plan}}

This table lists all the storms that developed in the South Pacific to the east of longitude 160°E during the 2013–2014 season. It includes their intensity on the Australian tropical cyclone intensity scale, duration, name, landfalls, deaths, and damages. All data is taken from RSMC Nadi and/or TCWC Wellington, and all of the damage figures are in 2014 USD.
