But it must be observed that these tables showthe positions of the storm vortex only, where the winds areof hurricane violence (force 10 to 12), and stormy weather,with winds of force 6 to 8, prevails far to the east andsouth of the storm centre, but only to distances of 150 to. Fig. 26.—Storm Tracks of May in the Bay of Bengal. 200 miles to the north and west. On this point somefurther information will be given presently. The third table shows that the most usual direction, inwhich storms travel, is to west-north-west and the months of the south-west monsoon (from July toSeptember), nearly all move on some path between west andnorth-north-west; and only in May and the last three monthsof the year, especially in October and November, are thoseto north and north-east at all common; the latter, withone exception in November, only in the northern half ofthe bay. The accompanying Figures 26, 27, and 28, showthe storm tracks of these three months. 232 CLIMATES AND WEATHER OF INDIA
