Last update: 3 hours agoCyclone Outlook: Samoa faces an elevated risk this season, with one to three cyclones forecast within 400 kilometres and at least one potentially reaching Category 3 strength. Below-normal rain and warmer temperatures could bring water shortages, though cyclones may still trigger floods and landslides. El Niño: Pacific forecasters warn the event could become one of the strongest on record, deepening drought risks and disrupting water, farming and health across the region. Early Warnings: Samoa is among nine Pacific countries set to receive support for mobile alerts that can reach phones quickly during emergencies. Climate Resilience: A US$250 million grant is part of a wider US$1.06 billion programme to strengthen infrastructure and essential services in 14 Pacific nations, including Samoa. Community Solutions: Samoa joined a Pacific exchange in Fiji focused on climate-smart farming, conservation and sustaining rural livelihoods. A renewable-energy study also highlights Apolima as an example of an island nearing full renewable electricity, while noting that community and institutional support matters as much as technology.
