List of storms named Goni

The name Goni (Korean: 고니, [ko̞ni]) has been used for four tropical cyclones in the western North Pacific Ocean. The variant Koni was used in 2003 before the spelling was corrected by the ESCAP/WMO Typhoon Committee. The name was contributed by South Korea and means swan in Korean.[1]

  • Severe Tropical Storm Koni (2003) (T0308, 08W, Gilas) – a Category 1 equivalent typhoon, by the JTWC, that struck the Philippines and Hainan.
  • Tropical Storm Goni (2009) (T0907, 08W, Jolina) – interacted with Typhoon Morakot.
  • Typhoon Goni (2015) (T1515, 16W, Ineng) – a typhoon that made landfall in the Philippines as a category 4, then in Japan as a category 3.
  • Typhoon Goni (2020) (T2019, 22W, Rolly) – made landfall as a Category 5–equivalent super typhoon on Catanduanes in the Philippines and in Vietnam as a tropical depression.

The name Goni was retired following the 2020 typhoon season and was replaced with Gaenari (Korean: 개나리, [ˈkɛ(ː)na̠ɾi]), which means a Korean goldenbell tree (Forsythia koreana).[2]
