Kia ora Sabelina,

Thanks for your OIA request regarding cyclone activity received on the 23 May 2019.

There is a list of tropical cyclones in the South Pacific, which can be found here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_Paci...

It tracks back to the 1970s – listing each cyclone and has quite comprehensive details about each one – including peak intensity of the wind. I don’t believe that it specifically lists, which cities were most affected however.

A source of information for historic weather events is CliFlo, be https://cliflo.niwa.co.nz, the national climatological database managed by NIWA which receives data from 600 sites, MetService and NIWA add data in to Cliflo daily, CliFlo data is free to access.

I hope this satisfies your enquiry.

Best wishes
Andrea
