List of storms named Nika

Not to be confused with List of storms named Anika.

The name Nika has been used for two tropical cyclones in the Philippine Area of Responsibility in the West Pacific Ocean. Nika replaced Nina on the naming lists after the latter's retirement following the 2016 season.

  • Tropical Storm Nangka (2020) (T2016, 18W, Nika) – became the wettest tropical cyclone in the West Pacific.
  • Typhoon Toraji (2024) (T2423, 26W, Nika) – a Category 1-equivalent typhoon that simultaneously existed with three other West Pacific storms in November.[a]

The name Nika was itself retired from the naming lists after its 2024 usage, being replaced by Nanolay for future seasons.[b]

Notes
