Tonga expects at least one severe cyclone this season, according to Matangi Tonga. The Pacific island nation is bracing for potentially dangerous weather conditions as the cyclone season intensifies.

The U.S. Coast Guard is conducting bilateral maritime law enforcement operations alongside the Tongan Royal Navy, per news.uscg.mil. This cooperation aims to strengthen regional security and disaster response capabilities amid increasing weather risks.

Tonga is also facing prolonged drought conditions, which are worsening agricultural challenges, Matangi Tonga reports. The combination of drought and cyclone threats puts significant strain on local resources and food security.
