RNZ Pacific has launched its updated Cyclone Watch Service for the 2024-2025 season, which begins in November. The service will provide hourly updates during cyclone alerts, broadcasting just before or after the top of each hour. The updates will include information from the Fiji Meteorological Service and New Zealand MetService, as well as weather bulletins from several Pacific nations. RNZ Pacific aims to keep the public informed through on-air broadcasts and online platforms. Listeners can follow updates on social media, including X and Facebook. The service will also seek damage reports from local authorities and NGOs in affected areas.
