of Caribbean Hurricanes Tropical systems passing within 60nm (=
69mi.) of the island. Used latitude/longitude coordinates
(18.50N,77.92W) might not be the center of the island. Often the
location of the island weather station was used, which is
normally at the airport. Please note that not only hurricanes
(h1-h5) are included but also tropical storms (ts).
Wind/category reported is maximum measured while the system
moved through region (box). Each category storm has its own
color (see color bar below; ts=tropical storm; h1=category 1
hurricane; etc., see the guide for definitions). Different
projections can be selected, the island projections are most
zoomed in (select if you want to see how close the systems
passed by the island [not available for regions]), while the
world projection most zoomed out (select when you want to see
the complete path of the storm). Winds are in miles per hour. It
is also calculated how close the center of the storm came to the
island, the so-called closest point of approach (cpo
