Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

The '''2009–10 South Pacific cyclone season''' began on December 3, 2009 with the formation of Tropical Disturbance 01F, 32 days after the cyclone season had officially begun on November 1, 2009. The season ended on April 30, 2010. These dates conventionally delimit the period of each year when most tropical cyclones form in the southern Pacific Ocean east of [[longitude|160°E]]. Additionally, the regional tropical cyclone operational plan defines a ''tropical cyclone year'' separately from a ''tropical cyclone season''; the "tropical cyclone year" began on July 1, 2009 and ended on June 30, 2010.{{RA V Tropical cyclone operational plan}} Tropical cyclones between 160°E and 120°W and north of 25°S are monitored by the [[Fiji Meteorological Service]]. Those that move south of 25°S are monitored by the [[Tropical Cyclone Warning Centre]] in [[Wellington|Wellington, New Zealand]].<ref name="SPAC TCOP"/> The first tropical disturbance of the season formed on December 3, about 1015&nbsp;km (700&nbsp;mi) to the north of [[Suva|Suva, Fiji]] and later intensified into Tropical Cyclone Mick. The last system, 15F, dissipated on April 5 of the following year.

The 2009–10 South Pacific cyclone season was near its climatological average, with eight tropical depressions intensifying into tropical cyclones within the South Pacific to the east of 160°E, while another system became a tropical cyclone after it had left the basin.<ref name="SS">{{Cite web |url=http://www.pacificdisasterclimatemeeting2013.net/docs/pmc/work_papers/WP_4.0_Att._2._Report_from_14RMSD_and_PMC-1_2011.pdf |title=Archived copy |access-date=January 20, 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140202101730/http://www.pacificdisasterclimatemeeting2013.net/docs/pmc/work_papers/WP_4.0_Att._2._Report_from_14RMSD_and_PMC-1_2011.pdf |archive-date=February 2, 2014 |url-status=dead |df=mdy-all }}</ref> a warm ENSO episode persisted during the season through April, peaking in late December.<ref name="SS"/> The El Niño event slowly decayed due to consistently negative SOI values and weak trade winds in the tropics.<ref name="SS"/> The active Madden–Julian oscillation phases generally occurred during periods of increased convective activity in the region, but in March, only a weak pulse traversed the region but at the same time an [[Equatorial Rossby wave]] tracked westwards and triggered Cyclone's Tomas and Ului.<ref name="SS"/>

Tropical Cyclone Mick was the first tropical disturbance to grace the waters of the South Pacific Ocean during the season. Tropical Cyclone Mick originally developed as a Tropical Disturbance on December 3, and gradually developed before it was named Tropical Cyclone Mick late on December 12. During the next couple of days the disturbance, the system accelerated towards the southeast while gradually intensifying further before peaking on December 14, with 10-minute sustained windspeeds of 110&nbsp;km/h, (65&nbsp;mph) and 1-minute winds of 130&nbsp;km/h, (80&nbsp;mph). Later that day, Mick made landfall on Viti Levu to the northeast of Nadi and as a result of land interaction, Mick rapidly weakened and became an extratropical depression early the next day. On December 6, Tropical Disturbance 02F developed about 1000&nbsp;km (620&nbsp;mi) to the north of Suva, Fiji.

Late on December 3, RSMC Nadi reported that Tropical Disturbance 01F had developed out of a weak area of low pressure to the northeast of Fiji. Over the next few days the disturbance gradually developed before RSMC Nadi reported that it had intensified into a tropical depression late on December 11. During the next day the system intensified further with the JTWC starting to issue warnings declaring it as Tropical Cyclone 04P. Later that day RSMC Nadi reported that Mick had intensified into a category one tropical cyclone and named it as Mick, while it was located about 225&nbsp;km, (140&nbsp;mi) to the west of [[Rotuma]]. During the next day Tropical Cyclone Mick accelerated towards the southeast while gradually intensifying further, before during December 14, as Mick approached the Fijian island of Viti Levu, the cyclone developed an eye. RSMC Nadi then declared that Mick had peaked with 10 minute windspeeds of 110&nbsp;km/h, (65&nbsp;mph) while the JTWC reported that it had peaked with 1 minute winds of 130&nbsp;km/h, (80&nbsp;mph). Later that day, Mick made landfall on Viti Levu to the northeast of Nadi. As a result of land interaction, Tropical Cyclone Mick rapidly weakened and became an extratropical depression early the next day. The extratropical remnants of Tropical Cyclone Mick were tracked by RSMC Nadi and TCWC Wellington for another 2 days before they dissipated early on December 18 Just inside TCWC Wellington's area of responsibility.

At least 6 fatalities have been attributed to Mick.<ref name="RNZI_50984">{{cite web |url=http://www.rnzi.com/pages/news.php?op=read&id=50984 |title=4,000 people in Fiji displaced by cyclone |date=December 16, 2009 |work=[[Radio New Zealand International]] |access-date=September 18, 2011}}</ref>

On February 17, RSMC Nadi commenced reporting on an unnumbered tropical disturbance located near 8.6ºS 162.0ºW, about {{convert|120|mi|km}} north-northwest of [[Rakahanga]] in the [[Cook Islands]]. RSMC Nadi reported that the disturbance was moving west while the JTWC reported that the disturbance was moving east. Eventually, they both agreed on which direction it was moving and RSMC Nadi upgraded the disturbance to Tropical Depression 11F. It soon weakened, but remained identifiable until February 22 when it was again classified as a Tropical Depression. On February 26 it was at last upgraded to Tropical Cyclone Sarah and Tropical Storm by JTWC, being then about {{convert|90|mi|km}} north of [[Palmerston Island]].
