List of storms named Kina

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The name Kina was used for two tropical cyclones in the South Pacific Ocean:

  • Cyclone Kina (1982) – a minimal tropical cyclone which slightly affected Vanuatu and Fiji, causing moderate damage.
  • Cyclone Kina (1992–93) – a severe tropical cyclone that greatly affected Fiji and Tonga, claiming 26 lives and causing $110 million worth of damage.

Due to the destruction caused by the latter cyclone, the name Kina was retired in the South Pacific basin after the 1992–93 season.
