AccuWeather's Hurricane Experts issue updates more frequently so you can make better decisions and keep your residents safer. For all 2024 U.S. landfall hurricanes, AccuWeather's forecasts provided, on average, 19 hours more advance notice of the storms' tracks, 8.9% more accurate track forecasts, 4.4% more accurate hurricane intensity, 5.7% more accurate landfall timing, 8.6% more accurate landfall point, and 37.8% more accurate landfall intensity than all other known sources.

Not only does AccuWeather provide more frequent updates as the storm approaches and threatens your particular area, but importantly, our forecasts and warnings are pinpointed to your exact location and include details of the hurricane's impact on your jurisdiction, whether it’s storm surge, flooding rains, the risk of wind damage, or tornado development—all tailored to your precise location and your particular needs.

AccuWeather's Hurricane Experts are watching and monitoring your community 24/7/365, and they are available for live consultations with you whenever you desire, especially when you are on the verge of important decisions. AccuWeather’s AssetReport™ will change how you and your organization react to hurricane threats this storm season. Whether you’re protecting a single asset or thousands, our end-to-end solutions provide the insights you need to enhance safety and reduce risk before, during, and after the storm.

From Hurricane Agnes in 1972 to Hurricane Katrina in 2005, Hurricane Sandy in 2008, Hurricane Ian in 2022, and many more, AccuWeather forecasts have saved thousands of lives. We have been cited by Congress and won awards from the American Meteorological Society for our exceptional hurricane forecasting.

For example, AccuWeather was the only known source that predicted a storm surge of 16-20’ for Hurricane Ian that killed 100 people in the Ft. Myers area. The National Hurricane Center predicted 12-16’, and the actual storm surge measured was

over 18’.

The cost is very modest compared to the benefits and peace of mind that our Hurricane Warning Service can bring to your community.

AccuWeather’s new RealImpact Scale for Hurricanes analyzes factors such as inland flooding, coastal storm surge, and tornado outbreaks, as well as the total anticipated damage and economic impact. Unlike the Saffir-Simpson scale, which classifies storms by wind speed only, the RealImpact Scale includes an additional rating of “Less than 1”. This provides insight into tropical storms that do not reach Category 1 on the Saffir-Simpson scale but may still cause substantial destruction, injury, or loss of life.
