With cyclone and typhoon season coming closer, staying ahead of severe weather events is more important than ever. Mapcreator’s new cyclone and typhoon live data overlay provides real-time and interactive tracking. With this layer, you can always deliver timely and precise updates. The data is sourced from Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC) and is updated every hour.

Mapcreator’s cyclone and typhoon live data overlay is continuously updated on storm activity. This allows you to map out current and future storms, alongside previous paths. In the Layers menu you can see that the overlay is built up of:
