What this page is, and what it isn't

It is a plain answer to "is there a storm near where I am going?", with the distance from destinations we write about. It is not a forecast, and it is not advice. Where a storm goes next, and whether anyone should act, comes from the National Hurricane Center in the Atlantic and eastern Pacific, and the Joint Typhoon Warning Center elsewhere.

Frequently asked questions

Are there any active hurricanes right now?

8 named tropical storms are being tracked right now, the strongest being Hurricane Nolo at 130kt. Positions come from NASA EONET, which aggregates NOAA and Joint Typhoon Warning Center reporting, and are refreshed hourly on this page.

Does this map forecast where a storm is going?

No. It shows where each storm has been and where it was last observed. Forecast tracks, the cone of uncertainty, and all warnings come from the National Hurricane Center or the Joint Typhoon Warning Center — each storm below links to its official advisory.

Should I cancel my trip if a storm is near my destination?

That decision belongs to the official advisory for your dates and your airline or hotel policy, not to a map. A storm 1,000km away often has no effect at all. Check the linked advisory, buy a rate you can cancel, and look at travel insurance before a storm is named — most policies exclude a storm once it has one.

When is storm season?

The Atlantic season runs 1 June to 30 November, peaking from mid-August to late September. The eastern Pacific runs 15 May to 30 November. The western Pacific has typhoons year-round, concentrated between July and October.
