Today’s Chart of the Day is a slight departure from a typical financial post, and similar to one I shared a few years ago, but has some additional information from Robert Rohde (@rarohde).

The picture tracks all hurricanes from 1950 to 2018, with lower to higher intensities designated in blue to red. Fascinating to note, no hurricane has passed through the Equator because, due to the Coriolis Effect, the rotation would have to change from clockwise to counterclockwise, which is physically impossible. Also note, that though the Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico are active, the Philippines receive the brunt of most activity on Earth.
