The colour represents the storm's maximum sustained wind speeds as classified in the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale (see below), and the shape of the data points represent the nature of the storm, according to the legend below.

context_page_description: Tropical Storm Beatriz of 1993 was a strong tropical storm that made landfall in Mexico during the moderately active 1993 Pacific hurricane season.
context_section_description: The second named storm of the season originated from a slow-moving area of increasing cloudiness over the Gulf of Tehuantepec on June 14. Moving little, a broad area of low pressure formed within the mass, but the low remained disorganized, although a tropical wave moved through on June 16. However, another tropical wave moved through on June 18, and the area of cloudiness gradually became more concentrated, and post-storm analysis indicated that a tropical depression formed on June 18 near Huatulco, as banding increased. A report of tropical storm-force winds from a ship was issued, and the depression was quickly upgraded to Tropical Storm Beatriz.
  Beatriz moved northwest, due to influence from the outflow from the developing Tropical Storm Arlene in the Gulf of Mexico, briefly reaching its peak intensity of 65 mph (105 km/h) on June 19, shortly prior to landfall near Puerto Escondido, Oaxaca. The storm quickly made its landfall in Puerto Escondido, Oaxaca. Beatriz rapidly weakened after landfall, dissipating over the mountainous southwest Mexican terrain, although the remnant cloudiness associated from the storm's circulation spread over portions of the western Gulf of Mexico on June 20.
