Hurricane and Tropical Storm Tracking

This dataset provides comprehensive, time-stamped forecasts and tracking data for hurricanes and tropical storms, including storm positions, intensities, forecast tracks, cone of uncertainty, storm surge predictions, and expected landfall details. It is designed to support coastal utility risk assessment, emergency response planning, and historical storm analysis, making it invaluable for infrastructure protection and disaster preparedness.

Behind this dataset

Same schema. As many rows as you need.

These 100 rows came out of a blueprint — 25 columns with generation rules behind each one. Open it in Data Factory to retune a column, add your own, wire in foreign keys, and run it at the size you actually need.

Rules it was built with

Storm name and year (e.g., Hurricane Ian 2022)
Advisory number and issuance time (every 6 hours or 3 hours if approaching land)
Storm center position (lat/long) and movement (direction, speed mph)
Maximum sustained winds (mph) and Saffir-Simpson category (1-5)
Central pressure (millibars), lower pressure = stronger storm
Forecast track: 12, 24, 36, 48, 72, 96, 120 hour positions
Cone of uncertainty width based on historical track errors
Storm surge forecast (feet) for coastal flooding
