Track map of all the tropical depressions monitored by the Joint Typhoon Warning Center and the Naval Western Oceanography Center during the season

The

tropical cyclones occurring within the South Pacific to the east of 160°E.[A 1] The season officially ran from November 1, 1994, to April 30, 1995 with the first disturbance of the season forming on November 12 and the last disturbance dissipating on March 17.[A 2] This is the period of the year when most tropical cyclones form within the South Pacific Ocean.[1]

During the season there was no one killed from tropical disturbances whilst they were within the South Pacific. Cyclone Vania helped end a long dry spell in

tropical cyclone naming lists.[1]

Within the South Pacific, tropical cyclones were monitored by the Tropical Cyclone Warning Centers (TCWC) in

Saffir–Simpson Hurricane Scale
.

This timeline includes information from post-storm reviews by TCWC Nadi, TCWC Wellington, the JTWC, and the NWOC. It documents tropical cyclone formations, strengthening, weakening, landfalls, extratropical transitions, and dissipations during the season. Reports among warning centers often differ; as such, information from all three agencies has been included.

Notes

  1. ^ An average season has nine tropical cyclones, about half of which become severe tropical cyclones.
  2. ^ TCWC Nadi warned on systems in the South Pacific which is located from the equator to 25°S and from 160°E to 120°W. TCWC Wellington warns on systems from 25°S to 40°S and from 160°E to 120°W
  3. ^ UTC stands for Coordinated Universal Time.
  4. ^ FST stands for Fiji Standard Time, which is equivalent to UTC+12.

  6. ^ Vania formed in the upper center of the map and headed southwestward. The storm then curved to the south before completing a loop and dissipating.
