| - Cyclone Joni (RSMC Nadi designation: 11F, JTWC designation: 20P) formed as a weak tropical disturbance late on March 9, about 770 km (475 miles) west of Tahiti. A Tropical Cyclone Formation Alert was then issued by the Joint Typhoon Warning Center, the following day as the disturbance had a well defined low level circulation center. Later that day the Regional Specialized Meteorological Centre, in Nadi, Fiji, started to issue advisories on the tropical disturbance while upgrading it to Tropical Depression 11F, while a cyclone gale warning was declared for parts of the southern Cook Islands. On March 11 the Tropical Depression continued to intensify and was upgraded to a Tropical Cyclone by RSMC Nadi and the JTWC with RSMC Nadi assigning the name Joni to the storm, which was a name that had been retired following its previous use in 1992. The next day both RSMC Nadi and the JTWC reported that Joni had reached its peak winds of 100 km/h (65 mph), which made it a Category Two cyclone on the Australian Tropical Cyclone Intensity Scale and a Tropical storm on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale. As Cyclone Joni reached its peak intensity, RSMC Nadi passed primary warning responsibility to the Tropical Cyclone Warning Center in Wellington, New Zealand. Early on March 14 TCWC Wellington downgraded Joni to an extratropical low, they then issued their final advisory, early the next day. There was only minimal impact reported in the southern Cook Islands.
