This chart is based on the dataset from my 2005 Nature paper and updated with two additional years of data. To produce the chart, the temperature index was converted to Fahrenheit. The chart was produced by Clear the Air. For high-resolution non-watermarked versions, download from ftp://70.86.53.74. User: ClearTheAir. Password: hurricane.
