🎯 How to Interpret:

• Clustering Plot: Each dot is a storm positioned by similarity (close = similar characteristics)
• Routes Plot: Actual geographic storm tracks, colored by which cluster they belong to
• Pressure Plot: Shows how pressure changes over time for storms in each cluster
• Wind Plot: Shows wind speed evolution patterns for each cluster
• Cluster Colors: Each cluster gets a unique color across all four visualizations
