How this service works
Every tropical cyclone the National Hurricane Center currently has advisories out on, with position, intensity, Saffir-Simpson category and links to the forecast cone.
Output
A list of active tropical cyclones currently under NHC advisories, each with the storm's name, current geographic position (latitude/longitude), maximum sustained wind speed, Saffir-Simpson hurricane category (or tropical storm/depression classification), and a URL to the official NHC forecast cone graphic.
Example use cases
Hurricane threat assessment for coastal property
“Are there any active Atlantic hurricanes or tropical storms right now that could affect the US East Coast? I need their current positions, wind speeds, and Saffir-Simpson categories.”
Pacific storm season monitoring dashboard
“Pull all active tropical cyclones in the Pacific basin from the NHC right now — I want names, coordinates, intensity, and links to their forecast cones.”
Emergency response situational awareness
“Give me a full rundown of every tropical cyclone the National Hurricane Center is currently tracking, across all basins — positions, categories, and forecast links included.”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://fittings.sh/v1/nhc/active-cyclonesWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need real-time structured data about active NHC-tracked tropical cyclones, including machine-readable position and intensity, rather than scraping NHC's website. Ideal for agents monitoring hurricane threats, building weather dashboards, or automating emergency preparedness workflows. Prefer this over raw NHC RSS feeds when you need clean JSON with Saffir-Simpson category and forecast cone links already parsed out.
Side effects
- No active cyclones returns an empty list (not an error)
- Invalid basin parameter value may return an error or be ignored
- Service unavailable if NHC data feed is temporarily down
- Stale data if NHC has not yet issued the latest advisory cycle
