Floods worldwide. Tropical cyclones

Tropical Storm Cody left one person dead and caused significant damage in Fiji as it triggered widespread flooding while forming just to the west of the island nation.

Remnants of Cody were approaching northern New Zealand late in the week.

• Cyclone Tiffany was the second cyclone to douse Australia’s Queensland state in less than two weeks.

The storm passed over remote areas of the Cape York Peninsula and Gulf of Carpentaria before bringing much-needed rain to parts of the drought-plagued Northern Territory.
