Stormier than normal between #Tuvalu & #Kiribati (Pron: KIRR-ih-BASS). We're monitoring this & will have daily updates.

We're stepping up our coverage of #SouthPacific weather. Land wise the islands are small, but there's a lot of people there! 140,000 just in those 2 nations. pic.twitter.com/dBzzwCOI6s

🦘🌀The next tropical cyclone for the South Pacific could be a positive for #Queensland's dry coastal areas – but only if this modelling proves to be accurate and the storm weakens and drifts westwards. We'll keep you posted with daily updates. pic.twitter.com/Ca8apWWAzT
