How to read the lines. Each line is the track of one storm, drawn through its six-hourly positions and coloured by its intensity at each point (the Saffir-Simpson scale), so a line changes colour as the storm strengthens or weakens. Tap a line for its details, or tap anywhere else to see which storms have passed nearby. Weaker storms appear as you zoom in. Hurricanes, typhoons and cyclones are the same kind of storm with different names in different oceans.

The record holds 11 storms for the 1992 North Indian season, of which 0 had names.9 reached tropical storm strength (34 knots or more), 1 reached cyclone strength (category 1 or more) and 0 were major (category 3 or more).

  • 11storms
  • 9tropical storm strength or more
  • 1cyclone strength or more
  • 0major (category 3 to 5)
  • 18accumulated cyclone energy

Accumulated cyclone energy adds up the squared wind speed of every position of 34 knots or more, divided by 10,000. It is approximate here because the winds are 1-minute equivalents, and it is mostly useful for comparing seasons of one basin.
