The storm has been downgraded to a category three after wreaking havoc across Fiji when it was a category five.
It's claimed the lives of two people and has cost hundreds of millions of dollars in damage.
MetService meteorologist Bill Singh says as it heads towards Tonga, it's expected to be downgraded again, to a category two storm.
He says it's expected to slow down in the tropics, and move to the west.
