Evolution of storm season genesis potential (red solid circle) and the latitude of peak genesis potential (blue hollow circle) averaged over individual storm basins. a Northern Hemisphere (5‒45°N), b Western North Pacific (5‒30°N; 110‒160°E), c Eastern North Pacific (5‒30°N; 150‒95°W), d North Atlantic (5‒20°N; 60‒10°W), e Southern Hemisphere (SH; 5‒45°S), f South Indian Ocean (5‒30°S; 40‒100°E), g Southern Pacific (5‒30°S; 165°E‒130°W), and h Australian coast (5‒30°S; 100‒165°E). EE Early Eocene, LE Late Eocene, LO Late Oligocene, EM Early Miocene, LM Late Miocene, LP Late Pliocene, PI pre-industrial. For the latitude of peak genesis potential, we first find the latitude of the maximum genesis potential across each longitude over a storm basin and then compute the mean of the selected latitudes. The units of genesis potential are number of events per month
