was a below-average season with only four tropical cyclones, forming within the South Pacific to the east of
160°E.
[An average season has nine tropical cyclones, about half of which become severe tropical cyclones.] The season officially ran from November 1, 2007, to April 30, 2008, although the first cyclone, Tropical Depression 01F, formed on October 17.
Within the South Pacific, tropical cyclones are monitored by the

This timeline includes information from post-storm reviews by RSMC Nadi, TCWC Wellington and the JTWC. It documents tropical cyclone formations, strengthening, weakening, landfalls, extratropical transitions, and dissipations during the season. Reports among warning centers often differ; as such, information from all three agencies has been included.
