  • Meteorologists eye rare early season tropical cyclone in Pacific
  • A tropical low over the Solomon Islands may develop into another cyclone.
  • A tropical depression over the Solomon Islands is being watched closely by meteorologists and climate experts alike in case the deep low pressure system forms into a second rare early season cyclone for the region.
  • Jess Carey, a spokesman from the Bureau of Meteorology's Queensland office, said there was only about a one in five chance that the low over the islands would develop into a cyclone.
  • Conditions were not yet conducive for the low to form into a cyclone-strength storm but they might be "enhanced" over the weekend or early next week, Mr Carey said.
  • Should it enter Australia's zone, the storm would be the first clear August cyclone in the satellite era in that region.
