In Vila, 110 km (68 mi) away from Iris's centre, recorded winds of only up to 20 knots (37 km/h), explaining the very small size of the cyclone.
The cyclone reached its peak intensity on January 26 at 00:00 (UTC) located 650 km (400 mi) south of Nadi, with 10-min average winds of 60 knots (110 km/h).

[2] During the next day the system moved southwestwards towards Fiji and developed into a tropical depression, as convention around the center increasing.
[5] At 17:00 UTC, it was named Tropical Cyclone Neil, located 150 km (93 mi) southeast of Kadavu.
