Hadi
2013-14 season · AU201314_13U
History
Severe Tropical Cyclone Hadi formed in the Australian region during the 2013–14 South Pacific cyclone season. After tracking westward and intensifying, the system eventually moved into the South Pacific basin, where its remnants were monitored by RSMC Nadi in Fiji and included among the season's significant tropical disturbances. Hadi reached severe tropical cyclone status, placing it at Category 3 or above on the Australian tropical cyclone intensity scale.
The 2013–14 season in which Hadi occurred was characterised by ENSO-neutral conditions and was assessed as slightly below average overall, with six tropical cyclones recorded in the South Pacific basin between 160°E and 120°W. Monitoring of the storm involved multiple agencies, including the Australian Bureau of Meteorology, the Fiji Meteorological Service, and the United States Joint Typhoon Warning Center.
The available source material does not provide detailed information on Hadi's precise formation location, landfall, casualties, or specific damage figures beyond its classification as a severe tropical cyclone and its transition into the South Pacific region following activity in the Australian basin.

Severe Tropical Cyclone Hadi developed during the 2013–14 Australian cyclone season and subsequently moved into the South Pacific basin, where its remnants were tracked by RSMC Nadi in Fiji as part of that season's disturbance list. The storm reached severe tropical cyclone intensity in the Australian region. Monitoring responsibilities were shared among the Australian Bureau of Meteorology, the Fiji Meteorological Service, and the Joint Typhoon Warning Center. The broader season occurred under ENSO-neutral conditions and was slightly below average in overall activity, with six tropical cyclones recorded across the South Pacific basin between 160°E and 120°W.
