The Fua'amotu Tropical Cyclone Warning Center was deactivated at 1:00pm today, as TC Yasa weakened and was downgraded into a tropical low as it moved further away from Tongatapu and 'Eua this morning.
Tonga's cyclone center was activated last week as TC Yasa rapidly intensified to a Category 5 system near Fiji.
Tonga Meterological Services reported at 1:00pm today that Yasa had weakened into a tropical low pressure system, and was moving South-southwest at 6 knots (12km/hr).
The system was located about 205km west of 'Ata or 365km southwest of Fua'amotu at noon today.
A gale warning remains in force for Tele-ki-Tonga, Tele-ki-Tokelau, Tongatapu and 'Eua land areas and coastal waters. A heavy damaging swell warning remains in force for all of Tonga's coastal waters.
Tonga Met has finished its cyclone operations, and returned to normal routine operation.
