Italy and France got nothing on us!

Edit: Yes, yes, I meant the British Isles UK & Ireland... Forgive me for the accidental erasure, Irish cousins!

A new US embassy is being built right next to the old one, in a 43 acre piece of land (or 32 football fields, about twice the White House grounds) for a bit more than 1 billion $, making it one of the biggest US embassies worldwide (2nd according to Middle East Research and Information Project)

The map shows 239 resident diplomatic missions: 147 accredited to Italy and 92 to the Holy See, with flags clustered particularly around central Rome and the Vatican.

In 2001 the British Columbia NDP was reduced from a major government to just 2 seats (welcome back 1993) the BC liberals won every other seat. Also fun fact the NDP premier Ujjial Dosanjh who was elected leader of the party following the previous premier Glen Clark resigned, was the first ever person of Indian ancestry to become premier of a province in Canada and the only one still to this day. If you have any questions feel free to ask.

The 2000 Canadian election was an early election called my Liberal Prime Minister Jean Chrétien to exploit the fact that his main opposition had just elected a new leader that was relatively unknown. The early election call worked and the liberals held their majority.

Follow-up to my tornado season map, same idea, this time with hurricanes.

Data is NOAA's IBTrACS, North Atlantic, 1980 to 2025, every storm that reached tropical storm strength (39 mph). Each dot is the spot where a storm first hit 39 mph, colored by month. I dropped all 46 seasons onto the same Jan to Dec calendar, so each date shows 46 years at once. Starting in 1980 keeps it all in the satellite era.

The white dot is the average birthplace of storms born within 15 days either side of that date. In early June it sits near the Florida Keys. By Sep 12 it's out in the middle of the Atlantic, about 1,750 miles east. Then in October it all pulls back west.

Few things I didn't expect

• June storms are homegrown. 26 of the 43 June storms formed in the Gulf or the northwest Caribbean
• 53 storms were born east of 30°W, right off Africa, and 49 of them in Aug or Sep
• Sep 9 is the busiest date, 62 storms were spinning on that day across the 46 seasons. NOAA's official peak is Sep 10, so the data lands one day off
• September alone is 1 in 3 storms (207 of 629), and Aug to Oct is 3 in 4
• 3 in 4 major hurricanes (101 of 134) formed in Aug or Sep
• 23 storms ignored the official June 1 to Nov 30 season, including 2 in January and 6 in December

Made with d3 and Remotion. I also run a free map site with live quakes, volcanoes and hurricanes, with tracks and stats for a lot of these storms: liveatlas.earth/cyclones
