With Hurricane season just around the corner, we are here to help you remain proactive in providing the most accurate and up-to-date information. With access to the most recent Hurricane data sourced from the National Hurricane Center (NHC) and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), you have the opportunity to play a crucial role in delivering timely and precise updates during critical events. Mapping the Hurricane season has never been easier.
Being a Live Data Layer, it is continuously updated every 60 minutes, showcasing the latest forecasts, both in the tool and in any interactive output you create. Interactive maps allow you to generate an automatic widget, always displaying the latest real-time information to deliver accurate coverage and keep your audience informed.
Access to real-time data
Our Hurricane Live Data Layer provides our users with accurate information and real time updates on the Hurricanes, including: likely arrival time, earliest arrival time, windspeed, initial wind extent, forecast track, track cone and of course the storm name. With this information, you can focus on accessing the most recent evacuation orders and mark the (already or assumed to be) affected areas for your reportings.
