The names Goni and Koni (Korean: 고니, [ko̞ni]) have been used for four tropical cyclones in the West Pacific Ocean.[a] The name, contributed by South Korea, means swan in Korean.[1]
- 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 at Category 4 intensity, then in Japan at Category 3 intensity.
- Typhoon Goni (2020) (T2019, 22W, Rolly) – a violent Category 5-equivalent super typhoon that became the strongest storm to ever hit the Philippines in terms of one-minute sustained winds.
The name Goni was retired following the 2020 season and was replaced with Gaenari (Korean: 개나리, [ˈkɛ(ː)na̠ɾi]), which refers to Forsythia koreana.[2]
