Tropical cyclones



Tokelau lies in the path of tropical cyclones. Cyclones are usually formed from November to mid-May, though they are most likely from late December to early April. Sometimes, however, they have occurred outside of this period, as happened with Cyclone Keli in June 1997. A particularly destructive cyclone on these islands was Cyclone Percy at the end of February 2005.
