NHC RSS Feeds (Text)

NHC's tropical cyclone advisories, and all of its text products, are available through RSS. This page is a brief summary of RSS, what it does, and how you can use it. It also includes a listing of the products available via RSS.

What is RSS?

The latest version of RSS (2.0) is an acronym for Really Simple Syndication (see specifications). It is a method of summarizing the latest news and information from a website in a lightweight form that can be easily read by a number of news readers or news aggregators. Additionally, modern web browsers and most email clients can interpret RSS directly without additional add-on software. The idea of RSS is to give users the ability to quickly obtain the latest updates from a web site in a headline or a news digest format. This in turn helps reduce load on the web servers during high-traffic periods.

What do I need to use the RSS feeds?

Most modern web browsers, such as Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer 8+ can read RSS feeds automatically (sometimes they refer to the feeds as "Live Bookmarks"). Alternatively, you can often times add a feed to your favorite email client. You can also use a stand-alone feed reader or news aggregator. All these options can be set to check for new feeds on a recurring basis, generally once an hour or so.

Here is a list of feed readers and news aggregators from the Open Directory Project.

Here is another list of feed readers and news aggregators.

Once you have installed a feed reader or news aggregator, you simply add the NHC feed addresses to the list of feeds in the reader. The installation instructions for the readers will help you with that. If your browser, newsreader or aggregator uses "auto-discovery" then simply enter the main NHC address (http://www.nhc.noaa.gov) and it will find all of the active feeds.

What are NHC's feed addresses?

We currently offer several feeds:

Atlantic, Caribbean, and Gulf of Mexico tropical cyclones in English
Atlantic, Caribbean, and Gulf of Mexico tropical cyclones in Spanish
Eastern Pacific tropical cyclones in English
NHC Graphical Tropical Weather Outlooks
NHC Podcasts/Audio Briefings
NHC's tropical cyclone and marine text bulletins

Note that at the present time our Spanish-language text products are limited to the Tropical Weather Outlook and the Public Advisories for Atlantic, Caribbean, and Gulf of Mexico tropical cyclones. All of our Spanish text products are courtesy of the NWS San Juan Weather Forecast Office, Puerto Rico.

Starting in 2005, we began offering per-storm feeds, where the feed information is specific to each active storm. The feeds are numbered from 1-5 using the same number as is used for the advisories for an active storm (this is called the "storm wallet" for historical reasons).

Here are the addresses for the feeds:

Technical Q&A

Are there other NWS feeds?: Yes, the NWS has several other RSS feeds available. Please find the complete list at:
http://www.weather.gov/rss/.
What version of RSS do you use?: At the present time our feeds use the RSS 2.0 specification. The feeds give the date, time, and advisory number in a fixed format for the latest advisories, along with the link to the advisory itself. We don't include the actual advisory text in the feeds at this time, although we do include the text for the latest Tropical Weather Outlook for the corresponding basin-wide feeds. Text bulletins have their own feeds listed above.
Why is the RSS feed icon on the page?: The standard feed icon is currently in use across the Internet to indicate to users that RSS feeds are available from the site. RSS feeds are composed of XML code - XML stands for eXtensible Markup Language, and is the basic lingo of the RSS technology. You can learn more about the feed icons by visiting http://www.feedicons.com.
