Links to TC Sites

Official TC Sites
Hong Kong Observatory (HKO) Issues bulletins every 6, 3 or 1 hour(s) depending on the position of the TC.
Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) TC-naming agency in NW Pacific. Issues bulletins every 3 hours.
Central Weather Administration (CWA) Issues bulletins every 6 hours (0, 6, 12, 18 UTC). Forecasts only positions but not intensities.
Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC) A US Navy site. Issues bulletins every 6 hours (0, 6, 12, 18 UTC).
