The western North Pacific (typhoons) holds about a third of the world’s cyclone energy. Basins vary in opposite directions with ENSO: El Niño favours the Pacific and holds back the Atlantic.

Method and sources

IBTrACS (NOAA NCEI) merges the best tracks of every WMO Regional Specialised Meteorological Centre and of the JTWC. The first import reads every storm since 1980, the following ones the last three years: provisional tracks are replaced as agencies finalise them. Only storms reaching 34 kt are kept. The wind used is the 1-minute mean of the US agencies (NHC, CPHC, JTWC), else that of the WMO agency.

ACE is computed from the synoptic fixes (00, 06, 12 and 18 UTC) of the tropical and subtropical stages (Bell et al., 2000). For the Atlantic, HURDAT2 (NHC) extends the series back to 1851; the latest release is picked from the NHC directory. Current storms combine IBTrACS ACTIVE and the NHC CurrentStorms feed.

Reading these data
Agencies’ winds differ (1-, 3- or 10-minute means, estimation methods): comparisons between basins and over time are approximate. Early decades are incomplete. The current season is provisional. This site is not a warning service: follow official advisories (NHC, Météo-France La Réunion, JMA, IMD…).
