Severe Weather Hub

Track high-impact weather events and natural hazards worldwide β€” from tropical cyclones and tornadoes to earthquakes, wildfires, and extreme cold. Real-time data across every major severe weather category.

⚠️
Stay Informed β€” Severe Weather Can Develop Rapidly
Always consult your national meteorological service for official warnings and emergency instructions. This hub aggregates global data for informational purposes.
πŸŒ€
Tropical Cyclones
Extreme
Hurricanes, typhoons, and cyclones β€” rotating tropical storm systems with sustained extreme winds and storm surge. Track active basins globally.
πŸŒͺ️
Tornadoes
Extreme
Violent rotating columns of air extending from thunderstorms to the ground. Monitor outbreaks, active watches, and historical tornado paths.
🌍
Earthquakes
Extreme
Real-time seismic activity from global networks. Track recent events by magnitude, depth, and region β€” from minor tremors to major ruptures.
🌊
Tsunami
Extreme
Ocean-wide wave systems triggered by seismic events, landslides, or volcanic activity. Monitor active alerts and historical events by ocean basin.
πŸŒ‹
Volcanoes
Extreme
Active volcanic eruptions, ash clouds, lava flows, and aviation notices. Track activity levels and eruption alerts for volcanoes worldwide.
πŸ”₯
Wildfires
High
Active fire perimeters, hotspot maps, and air quality impacts. Monitor large fire events across continents using satellite detection data.
🏞️
Flooding
High
Flash floods, river flooding, and coastal inundation events. Track active flood warnings, river gauges, and precipitation-driven flood risk.
⚑
Lightning
High
Real-time lightning strike detection worldwide. View global thunderstorm activity, strike density, and active storm cell positions.
🌑️
Extreme Heat
High
Heat waves, excessive heat warnings, and heat index data. Track dangerous temperature events and prolonged heat episodes by region.
❄️
Blizzards & Winter Storms
High
Severe snowstorms, blizzards, ice storms, and winter weather advisories. Monitor snowfall totals, wind chill, and dangerous driving conditions.
🌨️
Snow
Moderate
Snowfall accumulation, snow depth, and snow cover maps. Track current snowfall events, snow season totals, and avalanche risk areas.
β›ˆοΈ
Severe Thunderstorms
High
Supercell thunderstorms, hail, damaging winds, and severe thunderstorm watches and warnings across active regions.
🌫️
Fog & Visibility
Moderate
Dense fog advisories, visibility levels, and low-cloud events. Fog can cause critical hazards for road, aviation, and maritime traffic.
🏜️
Drought
Moderate
Long-term moisture deficits, drought monitor maps, and soil moisture anomalies. Track water stress conditions that intensify fire risk and crop failure.
⛰️
Landslides
High
Debris flows, mudslides, and rockfalls triggered by heavy rainfall or seismic activity. Track susceptibility maps and active events worldwide.
🧊
Hailstorms
Moderate
Hail swath reports, maximum hail size, and severe hail warnings. Large hail causes significant damage to crops, vehicles, and structures.
🌬️
Dust & Sandstorms
Moderate
Haboobs, dust storms, and Saharan dust plumes affecting visibility, air quality, and respiratory health across arid and semi-arid regions.
☒️
Radiation & Nuclear
Extreme
Nuclear fallout monitoring, radiation levels, and environmental contamination alerts. Track global radiation sensor networks and incident data.
πŸ₯Ά
Extreme Cold
High
Wind chill advisories, cold waves, polar vortex events, and dangerous frost conditions. Track Arctic air outbreaks and record cold temperatures.
πŸ’¨
Air Quality
Variable
PM2.5, PM10, AQI levels, and air quality index maps worldwide. Wildfire smoke, industrial pollution, and ozone events tracked in real time.
🌧️
Storm Surge
Extreme
Coastal water rise driven by tropical cyclones and severe coastal storms. Monitor storm surge forecasts, tide gauges, and inundation warnings.
🫧
Ice Storms & Freezing Rain
High
Freezing rain, ice accumulation, and glaze events that coat surfaces with dangerous ice. Causes power outages and extremely hazardous travel conditions.
πŸ”οΈ
Avalanche
High
Avalanche danger ratings, snowpack stability, and recent avalanche reports from mountain ranges. Critical for alpine travel and ski area safety.
🌌
Geomagnetic Storms
Variable
Solar wind-driven geomagnetic activity affecting power grids, satellite operations, and GPS accuracy. Linked with aurora visibility and space weather events.

About the Severe Weather Hub

This hub brings together tracking and data for all major severe weather categories, from atmospheric hazards like tropical cyclones, tornadoes, and lightning, to geological events like earthquakes, volcanoes, and tsunamis.

Hydrological hazards including flooding, storm surge, and drought are tracked alongside extreme temperature events β€” both extreme heat and extreme cold. Visibility hazards like fog, dust storms, and freezing rain round out the full picture of global weather risk.

Global Hazard Monitoring

Each category page provides dedicated data, maps, and contextual information to help you understand active events in real time. The hub is designed to be the fastest way to survey global hazard conditions across all categories simultaneously.
