Tropical Depression (TD11F) has now been upgraded into Tropical Cyclone POLA at 2:00am today to the Northwest of Tonga or about 570km West-Southwest from Apia. TC POLA maintains its proposed path, advancing South-Southeast at a speed of 5KT and further away from Samoa. TC POLA WILL NOT POSE ANY THREAT TOWARDS SAMOA.
Meanwhile, an active convergence linked to TC POLA continues to provide gusty and strong winds, heavy rain and high waves and swells.
Fa’afetai,
