Hurricane Tracker – Live Storm Map
Track hurricanes, tropical storms, typhoons and severe weather worldwide with an interactive live weather map.
Mapa en vivo del rastreador de huracanes
Explore hurricanes, tropical storms, typhoons, thunderstorms and other severe weather systems on the interactive map below.
Track Hurricanes and Tropical Storms Worldwide
The Hurricane Tracker provides an interactive overview of severe weather systems around the world. Depending on the selected weather layer, you can explore wind, thunderstorms, pressure systems and other meteorological conditions.
The map can be moved and zoomed freely, allowing you to focus on the Atlantic, Pacific, Caribbean, Gulf of Mexico or any other region where tropical storms and severe weather are developing.
For additional storm information, you can also visit our Rastreador de tormentas.
How to Use the Hurricane Tracker
The live map can be moved, zoomed and adjusted to explore severe weather activity in different parts of the world.
Move the Map
Drag the map to focus on the region where you want to monitor a storm or tropical weather system.
Zoom In
Zoom into a region to examine weather conditions in more detail.
Explore Weather Layers
Different layers can show wind, thunderstorms, pressure and other atmospheric conditions.
Follow Development
Use the available timeline and animation functions to observe how weather systems develop and move.
Hurricanes, Typhoons and Tropical Storms
Tropical cyclones are known by different names depending on where they develop, but they are all powerful rotating storm systems that form over warm ocean waters.
Why Storm Tracking Matters for Ships
Severe weather can have a major impact on maritime traffic. Hurricanes, tropical storms and strong wind systems can affect shipping routes, port operations and voyage planning across large ocean regions.
Public weather maps can help provide a general overview of developing conditions, while professional mariners rely on official forecasts, navigation systems and operational weather information for safety-critical decisions.
You can compare severe weather conditions with vessel activity using the Rastreador de barcos.
Notable Hurricanes and Tropical Cyclones
Some tropical cyclones have become particularly well known because of their strength, size, damage or unusual development.
What Can the Live Map Show?
Depending on the selected map layer and current weather conditions, the interactive tracker can provide a broad visual overview of severe weather activity.
Wind
Explore wind patterns and stronger wind fields associated with storms and pressure systems.
Thunderstorms
Thunderstorm layers can help identify regions with active convective weather.
Pressure
Pressure patterns can help illustrate the structure and movement of larger weather systems.
Storm Movement
Animation and forecast functions can help visualise the development and movement of weather systems.
Use Official Weather Warnings for Safety Decisions
This page is intended as a general visual weather tracking tool. For evacuations, marine navigation, emergency planning or other safety-critical decisions, always use official warnings and forecasts from the responsible national weather and emergency authorities.
Hurricane Tracker FAQ
Can I track hurricanes live?
The interactive map can display current and forecast weather conditions that help you follow developing tropical storms and hurricanes.
Can I move the hurricane map to another region?
Yes. You can move and zoom the interactive map to explore storms and weather conditions in different regions of the world.
Does the map show typhoons too?
Yes. The same type of tropical cyclone is generally called a typhoon in parts of the western Pacific, and these systems can also be explored on the global weather map.
Can I track thunderstorms?
Yes. For more focused thunderstorm information, visit the Ship-Tracker.org Thunderstorm Tracker.
Can hurricanes affect shipping?
Yes. Tropical cyclones can affect ports, shipping lanes, vessel routes and maritime operations over very large areas.
Should I use this map for emergency decisions?
No. For safety-critical decisions, always follow official weather warnings and instructions from national meteorological and emergency authorities.
