Get every currently active tropical cyclone the US National Hurricane Center is tracking in the Atlantic and Eastern/Central Pacific basins — name, classification, max sustained wind, pressure, position, movement, and links to the latest public advisory and forecast discussion — via the official NHC current-storms feed.
Built for logistics, insurance, media, and emergency-planning teams who need current storm status without checking nhc.noaa.gov by hand.
Input
{"basin": "all","minimumClassification": "any"}
| Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
basin | string | "all", "atlantic", "eastern-pacific", or "central-pacific". Default "all". |
minimumClassification | string | "any", "TD" (Tropical Depression or stronger), "TS" (Tropical Storm or stronger), or "HU" (Hurricane strength only). A storm with a classification outside this TD/TS/HU scale (e.g. a subtropical or post-tropical system) is always included rather than silently dropped. Default "any". |
Output
One record per active storm, or zero rows during a quiet stretch — that's a real "nothing currently active" result, not an error:
{"id": "cp012026","name": "Lala","classification": "HU","maxSustainedWindMph": 80,"minCentralPressureMb": 974,"latitude": 26.1,"longitude": -172,"movementDirectionDegrees": 15,"movementSpeedMph": 10,"lastUpdate": "2026-08-21T06:00:00.000Z","publicAdvisoryUrl": "https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/text/HFOTCPCP2.shtml","forecastDiscussionUrl": "https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/text/HFOTCDCP2.shtml","forecastGraphicsUrl": "https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/graphics_cp2.shtml"}
How it works
A direct call to NHC's official public CurrentStorms.json feed — no
proxy, no key, no scraping. NHC covers the Atlantic and Eastern/Central
Pacific only; storms elsewhere (e.g. Western Pacific typhoons, Indian
Ocean cyclones) are tracked by other national agencies and aren't in
this feed.
Pricing note
Billed per check (one run), regardless of how many storms are currently active.
