Methodology
How the numbers on this page are produced.
Positions, times and maximum sustained winds are shown exactly as published by the issuing agency (JTWC, NOAA NHC/CPHC) and aggregated by NASA EONET. Winds are converted from knots to m/s (× 0.5144) and km/h (× 1.852); nothing is smoothed, interpolated or re-analysed. Agency wind-averaging periods differ (e.g. 1-minute for JTWC and NHC).
