Description: A map from the U.S. weather Bureau of a portion of the northern hemisphere showing average tracks of cyclonic areas, by months and seasons, over the northern hemisphere, from 1878-1887. The map uses various line types to show the general storm tracks in the northern hemisphere winter (December, January, February), spring (March, April, May), summer (June, July, August), and autumn (September, October, November). "The cyclones of the West Indies and the China Sea occur most frequently in July, August, September, and October; those of the Java Sea and the South Indian Ocean, in December, January, February, March, and April (in the latter months for the regions more distant from the equator); those of the Arabian Sea and Bay of Bengal, from April to June, and again in October and November. In the middle northern latitudes the cyclones occur most frequently probably in February, and least frequently in July." — Waldo, 1896, p. 227.
