Eastern Pacific Hurricane Plots
The
data spans from 1960 to 1997 and shows that in May there are few Name storms
overall, but a surprising few in the past 40 years have hit shore, in June the
numbers increase, but so do the land strikes, in July something odd happens, the
number of names storms increases but the land strikes decrease. However, in
August, the land strikes increase again. You don’t want to be on the Gold coast
in June or the Baja coast in August, but July is the “best” month overall.
On the following
slide show Named storms are represented by colored circles Red-Hurricane,
Blue-Tropic Storm, Green-Gale and the size is the relative wind strength –
larger the circle the greater the wind.
