List of storms named Kina

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.
Not to be confused with List of storms named Kenna or List of storms named Kinna.

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