Lucarius Kingdom Hurricane Basin Climatology

Classification
Most systems in this basin are classified as Areas of Investigation(AOIs), Invests, Depressions, Storms, Cyclones or Severe Cyclones based on wind speed. The classifications(outside of AOIs and Invests)are most often based off of the Lucarius Wind Scale(LWS)which is relateable to the Australian Scale.

Tropical Depression: 30-39 mph

Tropical Storm: 40-54 mph

Severe Tropical Storm: 55-69 mph

Category 1 Tropical Cyclone: 70-89 mph

Category 2 Tropical Cyclone: 90-104 mph

Category 3 Tropical Cyclone: 105-124 mph

Category 4 Severe Cyclone: 125-139 mph

Category 5 Severe Cyclone: 140-159 mph

Category 6 Severe Cyclone: 160-174 mph

Category 7 Severe Cyclone: 175-189 mph

Category 8 Severe Cyclone: 190-209 mph

Category 9 Severe Cyclone: 210-224 mph

Category 10 Severe Cyclone: 225-239 mph

Hyperclone: 240+ mph

Activity
Activity is usually around 30-35 Systems, 20-25 Named Storms, 10-15 Cyclones and 3-5 Severe Cyclones. Nina seasons usually produce about 10-15 more Named Storms and systems, 5-10 more Cyclones and 3-5 more Severe Cyclones. Nino seasons produce the same amount only less.

The Average Of Nina Seasons is:

36.3 Depressions, 27.8 Named Storms, 18.9 Cyclones and 7.1 Severe Cyclones.

The Average of Neutral Seasons is:

32.4 Depressions, 24.0 Named Storms, 12.1 Cyclones and 3.7 Severe Cyclones

The Average of Nino Seasons is:

28.8 Depressions, 20.2 Named Storms, 8.9 Cyclones and 1.4 Severe Cyclones

The most active season varies by the part of the basin. The East and Lucarius Peninsula's most active month is August and the most Western Cyclones usually spawn in November.

El Nino
El Nino is an occurence that describes the majority of Sea Surface Temperatures(SSTs)in a certain part of the basin are under average(the extent of all of these varies). El Nino seasons usually limit activity and happen 1 or 2 years after a Moderate-Super La Nina occurs.

La Nina
La Nina is the opposite of El Nino. La Nina describes the occurence when the majority of SSTs in a certain part of the basin are above average. La Ninas promote activity and happen about 1 or 2 years after a Moderate-Super El Nino occurs.

LNSO or Neutral
The term Neutral or LNSO is a rare occurence that means SSTs are near or at average, LNSO usually lasts 1-3 months(usually seen in March-June, September-November in the East and January-March in the West)before SSTs fall towards La Nina or El Nino.

Main Development Region(MDR)
The MDR(s), as it's name suggests, is the region where the conditions for a cyclone to develop are the most favorable in a specific Sub-Basin. The MDR is usually where the warmest SSTs are located.
