🎯 Storm Pattern Analysis with Separate Visualizations

Four separate plots: Clustering, Routes, Pressure Evolution, and Wind Evolution

📊 Enhanced Clustering Features:

• Separate Visualizations: Four distinct plots for comprehensive analysis
• Multi-dimensional Analysis: Uses 15+ storm characteristics including intensity, track shape, genesis location

• Interactive: Hover over points to see storm details, zoom and pan all plots

🎯 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
