Last update: 5 hours agoIsland Energy: Ocean thermal energy conversion has moved closer to practical use: a purpose-built offshore platform was installed in April, while projects elsewhere aim to provide steady power and drinking water. So far, the technology remains at small, kilowatt-scale output, but it could offer island communities an alternative to diesel. Cyclone Outlook: Forecasters expect seven to 11 named cyclones across the southwest Pacific in the 2026–27 season, with at least four reaching Category 3 or higher. A strong El Niño may bring more activity to parts of the region and an earlier start to the season. Cybersecurity: The US says China-linked hackers accessed the systems of an unnamed regional organization based in Fiji for days. The US Embassy, which covers Nauru and other Pacific states, provided technical advice to help secure the network.
