New Zealand has cyclones rather than hurricanes. They do not generally occur very frequently.

The term used for a storm with very strong winds varies depending on where it occurs. Hurricanes only occur in the Northern Hemisphere, but in the Southern Hemisphere it is known as Cyclones, which is basically the same, but spins in the opposite direction. They are just as deadly and damaging, take the one that happened in the Philippines for example.

New Zealand does not have hurricanes in the traditional sense. Instead, it experiences tropical cyclones, which are intense storms that can bring heavy rain, strong winds, and flooding to the country.
