Updated 25/06/2025

This dataset is a summary of global cyclone frequency. Data on the tracks of cyclones since 1900 was sourced from the International Best Track Archive for Climate Stewardship (IBTrACS). The lines of each cyclone were summarised over a 1 degree grid and the number of unique storms and the length of each track in each grid was generated. https://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/ibtracs/index.php?name=ibtracs-data
