Table 1 Tropical cyclone (TC) occurrences from 1980–2019 by basin and intensity. Percentages are per intensity classification (i.e. all percentages in the All Tropical Cyclone (ATC) category add to 100%) and the numbers in parenthesis are the totals. WTC, STC, and VSTC stand for Weak, Strong, and Very Strong TCs, respectively.
