List of storms named Nina

The name Nina has been used for twenty tropical cyclones worldwide: eighteen in the northwest Pacific Ocean (thirteen by the Joint Typhoon Warning Center and five by PAGASA), and one each in the South Pacific, in the Australian region, and in the northeast central Pacific Ocean.

In the South Pacific:

• Cyclone Nina (1979) - Brushed Vanuatu before curving eastwards

In the Australian region:

• Cyclone Nina (1992), a Category 4 cyclone that affected Queensland and several islands in Oceania.

In the Central Pacific:

• Hurricane Nina (1957) – a Category 1 hurricane in the Central Pacific; named as such because of the policy to use typhoon names for systems that would form in the Central Pacific Ocean.

In the Western Pacific Ocean:

• Typhoon Nina (1953) (T5307) – made landfall in China.
• Typhoon Nina (1960) (T6025, 51W) – a strong typhoon that never made landfall.

• Typhoon Krovanh (2003) (T0312, 12W, Niña) – struck the Philippines and China, causing moderate damage.
• Typhoon Songda (2004) (T0418, 22W, Nina) – struck Japan and became one of its costliest typhoons.
• Typhoon Hagupit (2008) (T0814, 18W, Nina) – struck China, killing 67 and causing $1 billion in damage.
• Typhoon Prapiroon (2012) (T1221, 22W, Nina) – a strong and erratic typhoon which eventually curved to sea, not affecting any landmass.
• Typhoon Nock-ten (2016) (T1626, 30W, Nina) – a powerful late-season storm that affected the Philippines.

Note: In 2003, Typhoon Krovanh was named Niña, but as the name also appeared in the succeeding year’s list (albeit spelled Nina and not Niña), it was instead replaced by Nonoy, which went unused in 2007 and had its sole usage in 2011, before being replaced by Nona for 2015 due to similarities with the nickname of the Philippine president at that time, Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino. Nona itself was retired after 2015 and was replaced with Nimfa for years from 2019.

The name Nina was eventually retired by PAGASA after the 2016 season, and was replaced with Nika , which was first used during the 2020 season.However, Nika itself was retired after 2024 and was replaced by Nanolay for future seasons.
