English:
This map shows the tracks of all
tropical cyclones
monitored by the Joint Typhoon Warning Center in the North Indian Ocean from 1980 to 2005. The points show the locations of each storm at six-hour intervals. The colour represents the storm's
maximum sustained wind speeds
as classified in the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale (see below), and the shape of the data points represent the nature of the storm.
Tropical depression (≤38 mph, ≤62 km/h)
Tropical storm (39–73 mph, 63–118 km/h)
Category 1 (74–95 mph, 119–153 km/h)
Category 2 (96–110 mph, 154–177 km/h)
Category 3 (111–129 mph, 178–208 km/h)
