PURPOSE

The information contained in this web site is not formulated to compete with: 
   > hurricane advisories and forcasts issued by the National Hurricane Center of Miami, which is the soul autorized hurricane center to issue outlooks, advisories and forcasts on tropical cyclones in the Eastern Pacific and North Atlantic. 
   > long term forcasts issued by the NOAA or research groups outside NOAA.  
We gratefully acknowledge the pioneering research of Dr. William Gray and others, which has significantly increased scientific understanding of the association between the various climate factors (particularly the El Niño/ La Niña cycle) and the atmospheric circulation features that affect Atlantic basin hurricane activity. We also acknowledge the leading role that Dr. Gray and colleagues at the Colorado State University have played in developing and providing seasonal forecasts of Atlantic basin tropical storm and hurricane activity (click  HERE to obtain these forecasts. You can also see the status of the latest forecast by clicking   HERE. ). 

We are under the official protocols: inclining to the official weather statements from the NHC which is the only weather institution (authorized by the WMO -World Meteorological Organization-) to issue tropical cyclone advisories & forecasts for the North Atlantic & Estern Pacific... 
Our web pages & emails (we do remind you) are served only to give a second opinion of the situation & should NOT be in any case considered to take decisions, but you should, instead, follow information giving by your local weather office & local government authorities ! 
  
Our goal is to inform as accurately as possible with the leas of updates about tropical weather phenomenon... to share with others our knowledge about hurricanes & our passion for the study of natural disasters (earthquakes; tsunamies; volcanoes; avalanches; tornadoes; hurricanes; electrical storms ....)... to share data with senior & professional weather experts and be able one day to have our computer model used by the NHC giving a close to 0% error both in predicting cyclone's track and intensity.
