Data are from the Bureau of Meteorology’s cyclone database and other sources. Cyclones listed are those which passed within 100 kilometres of the Islands and had a minimum central pressure of less than 1000 hecto-pascals. Rainfall totals are to the nearest millimetre over a 2 day period. The distances given in the table below are the closest approach of each cyclone to the southern atoll. The minimum central pressure indicates the estimated intensity of the cyclone at the point of closest approach. Maximum wind speed is the maximum gust registered at Cocos Island during the cyclone.
