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.

context_page_description: The 1974 Atlantic hurricane season was an event in the annual tropical cyclone season in the north Atlantic Ocean. There was near-average activity during the season, which officially began on June 1, 1974 and ended on November 30, 1974. These dates, adopted by convention, historically describe the period in each year when most tropical systems form. The first system of the season, Tropical Depression One, formed on June 22. The final system of the season, Tropical Depression Seventeen, dissipated on November 11.
  The 1974 season produced twenty tropical or subtropical depressions, of which eleven reached tropical or subtropical storm intensity. Four of the tropical storms became hurricanes, of which two became major hurricanes. At Category 4 on the Saffir–Simpson scale, Hurricane Carmen was the most intense tropical cyclone of the season. It threatened two densely populated areas during its duration, Belize City, Belize and New Orleans, Louisiana, but veered away at the last moment each time. Even so, the storm caused much flooding and crop damage in and around the Yucatán Peninsula and Gulf Coast of the United States.
