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 northeast central Pacific Ocean and the Australian region/South Pacific.
In the Australian region/South Pacific:
Cyclone Nina (1992–93), 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.
Tropical Depression Nina (1963) – a tropical cyclone which was considered by JMA as a tropical depression.
Typhoon Nina (1966) (T6607, 07W) – a Category 1-equivalent typhoon
Typhoon Nina (1968) (T6826, 31W, Seniang) – a typhoon that later crossed the Philippines as a weaker system.
Tropical Storm Nina (1972) (T7204, 05W) – a minor storm which stayed at sea.
Typhoon Nina (1975) (T7503, 04W, Bebeng) – struck Taiwan and China, eventually contributing to the collapse of the Banqiao Dam in central China, killing around 26,000–100,000 people.
Tropical Storm Nina (1978) (T7823, 24W, Yaning) – a tropical storm which crossed the Philippines, killing 59.
Tropical Storm Nina (1981) (T8109, 09W, Ibiang) – a weak and short-lived tropical storm that made landfall in eastern China.
Tropical Storm Nina (1984) (T8415, 18W) – a relatively strong tropical storm that formed from a monsoon trough, but did not affect any land areas.
Typhoon Nina (1987) (T8722, 22W, Sisang) – crossed the Philippines as a major typhoon, claiming 979 lives.
Tropical Storm Nina (1992) (T9213, 14W) – another minor storm that stayed in the open ocean.
Tropical Storm Nina (1995) (T9511, 15W, Helming) – a moderate storm that hit the Philippines and China.
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.
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.
The name Nina was eventually retired by PAGASA after the 2016 season, and was replaced with Nika.
