Most stayed far to the north of New Zealand, with the exception of Tropical Cyclone Pam which headed southwards from the tropics towards East Cape in March this year.
For the Wairarapa, Cyclone Pam was a "welcome relief", said Mr Falloon.
The strongest gusts were recorded at 107km/h at Cape Turnagain while the heaviest rainfall was 85mm at Mt Matthews.
Mr Falloon said Cyclone Pam had been welcome in Wairarapa.
"We got some much-needed rain from Cyclone Pam around the Wairarapa but it was still quite patchy," he said.
"We would have done with more rain, we always need rain around March."
Mr Falloon said farmers in the area were aware of the potential risks involved with cyclones but would choose rain first.
"You always hope that some of these cyclones come down and you get a good easterly rain. It is usually nice and warm and plenty of it which kicks growth into gear," he said.
"There is always the risk that if a cyclone hits you, you could get something like cyclone Bola, and most of the farmers know what intense rainfall events and storms are like. But you sort of think 'well, I will take the rain first and then deal with any of the challenges that are caused by the weather afterwards'."
Philip Duncan of WeatherWatch said Wairarapa was too far south to have felt much effect from Pam.
"Wairarapa is one of the four drought zones in New Zealand at the moment as it was too far south to really get a lot of rain from ex-cyclone Pam. But there has been enough shower activity over the past few weeks, which has really helped this area," he said.
"Rainfall totals are back to normal in this region, but a lot more rain is needed to continue moving in a positive direction."
Mr Duncan said the Wairarapa could benefit from another ex-cyclone bringing rain to the bottom of the North Island.
"The cyclone season is nearly finished and we doubt a cyclone will bring relief to Wairarapa, but an ex-tropical low can be good at feeding rain into the lower North Island sometimes." NZME.
