Finn's Cyclone Intensity Index

Is calculating ACE too hard? Then you've come to the right place! Finn's Cyclone intensity Index, or FCII for short, is an easier way to calculate the intensity of a storm, just like ACE.

Calculation
FCII is fairly simple to calculate. First, take the storm category. TSs are worth .5, and TDs are worth .25. Lets say we have a C2 hurricane. Take the number 2 and multiply it by 5. This gives you 10. Next, take the exact windspeed of the system and round it to the closest 5. Then, add 10 and the windspeed, in this case it was 105 mph. Once you add the 10 and 105, you get 115. Next, calculate the amount of entire days the storm lasted. In this case, it would be 12. Add 12 to 115. Lastly, after adding these, divide the total by 7. 127 divided by 7, gets you 18.142. So, the FCII of the storm would be 18.142.This calculation may not be as accurate and direct as ACE, but then again, it was made for ease.

I will most likely update this to make it better.

Simple Calculation
1. Take the storm's category (TS is worth .5, and TD is worth .25)

2. Take the category and multiply it by 5.

3. Take the exact windspeed and round it to 5.

4. Add the rounded windspeed to what you got for 2 and 3.

5. Calculate the amount of entire days the storm was active (partial days don't count)

6. add the total by the amount of days.

7. Divide total by 7.
