just found this on wikipedia. Is there one that dates back to the 19th century?

Looking at that, it appears that the Atlantic has the third largest amount amount of TC's.

Great find Fact. Actually, I think it is VERY informative. Not the individual storms per se, but the density of storms.
Some things that one can notice...
The core of the activity in the northern Hemisphere is on the central and right parts of the map, the Atlantic and Pacific. The core of the activity in the southern Hemisphere is on the left and central parts of the map.
There are a lot more storms in the northern Hemisphere, they are much denser, and they gain a lot more latitude.
Of course one can deduct that the deserts and high mountains of the Middle East entrain dry air into storms in the northern Indian, and the lack of storms in the southern hemisphere stems from the strength of the Antarctic, which can harbor some real powerful (sub-950) extratropical storms, and of course cool off the SST's as one progresses south. And, of course, the dry continental air of the Andes are quite detrimental as well.

There's one that goes from 1950 to 2005. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Glob ... tracks.jpg However, the author who made that (who I know on Wikipedia) didn't make one going back to the beginning of the best tracks because it would be unfairly biased to the Atlantic, giving it nearly 100 more years of tracks than anywhere else.

I wonder why there is less tropical cyclones in the southern hemisphere. I know the South Atlantic and Southeast Pacific have no hurricanes. Okay, maybe with the exception in 2004 that hit Brazil.

I've already said it in my post, Antarctica.
