HURRICANES

Type 10 is the general class of tropical storms occurring chiefly in the

summer and fall which, drifting west, slowly work northward. Similar

storms are the typhoons and baguios of the East Indian and China Seas.

The path and point of recurvature will be determined by the position of

the Bermuda Hyperbar, that is, the seasonal anticyclone of the Atlantic.

This accounts for the swinging east and north of these tracks as the

season progresses; for the hyperbar is slowly displaced east, the

maximum displacement occurring in September.
