For Hurricanes

AccuWeather has been cited by Congress for Superior Accuracy™ in hurricanes and won awards from the American Meteorological Society for our exceptional hurricane forecasting. From Hurricane Agnes in 1972, Hurricane Katrina in 2005, Hurricane Sandy in 2012, Hurricane Ian in 2022, and many more – AccuWeather forecasts in total have saved thousands of lives.

Hurricane Beryl

Hurricane Beryl

June 28 – July 11, 2024

On July 2, 28 hours before the NHC and any other known source, AccuWeather predicted Beryl would bring flooding and damaging winds to Texas.

Hurricane Helene

Hurricane Helene

September 24 – 27, 2024

On September 24, AccuWeather was the ONLY known source to accurately warn that Helene would bring a catastrophic “flooding disaster” to the Southern Appalachians. And we did it 48 hours in advance.

Hurricane Milton

Hurricane Milton

October 5 – 11, 2024

On September 27, 12 days before Milton developed, AccuWeather was the first known source to predict that a tropical storm or hurricane would track towards Florida. On October 5, 6 hours before the NHC and all other known sources, AccuWeather issued its first track.

Hurricane Ian

Hurricane Ian

September 23 – 30, 2022

AccuWeather issued a track three days before the NHC. AccuWeather predicted a lethal storm surge of 16-20’ and the NHC predicted 12’-16’. AccuWeather saved dozens of lives as the storm surge of 18’ hit Florida and killed 150 people.

Hurricane Sandy

Hurricane Sandy

October 22, 2012 – November 2, 2012

AccuWeather was the first to notify the public and save lives with warnings that were days ahead and more accurate than any other source. While the government and other public sources of information declared that Sandy would “not be a hurricane” at landfall, AccuWeather continued to call it a hurricane, knowing that people take action more critically for a hurricane than for more standard wind and coastal flood warning.

Hurricane Katrina

Hurricane Katrina

August 23, 2005 – August 31, 2005

AccuWeather was cited by U.S. Congress as the first and only source to forecast the storm’s full damage in advance, saving an estimated ten thousand lives.

A new study conducted by Kantar, one of the world’s leading marketing data and analytics companies, has found that AccuWeather provided the most accurate and most effective hurricane forecasts during the 2024 Atlantic hurricane season, outperforming the National Hurricane Center (NHC) and all other known sources. For all 2024 U.S. landfall hurricanes, AccuWeather’s forecasts provided, on average, 19 hours more advance notice of the storms’ track, 8.9% more accurate track forecasts, 4.4% more accurate hurricane intensity forecast, 5.7% more accurate landfall timing, 8.6% more accurate landfall point, and 37.8% more accurate landfall intensity forecast.

Testimonials

“We gave the stores a head start with the long-term severe forecast and the five-day precipitation forecast starting on Monday. We got the jump on our competition by two days… one of our best storm responses ever!”

AccuWeather Client

“In Florida, self-preservation in a hurricane is a personal responsibility. Governments can issue mandatory evacuations and open shelters, but the responsibility for actual survival rests with the individual. Because of Ian’s wobble, I tracked the storm using AccuWeather as the weather deteriorated. Using your Hurricane Tracking, I determined a point at which evacuation was critical to survival.

AccuWeather Client

“Since my wife and I have two dogs and a cat, we can’t just jump in the car and flee. My own point of evacuation was just prior to Ian’s east turn. Once that happened, we decided to hide from the wind, since we didn’t have to run from the water. We endured hours of exceptionally strong winds, but other than the landscape vegetation, we had no damage or injuries, even though we live 50 yards from the bank of the Manatee River.

AccuWeather Client

“In retrospect, using AccuWeather tracking, we avoided fleeing east too early. Had we done that, we would have been stranded right in the hurricane’s path with no options.

AccuWeather Client

“Before the storm clouds cleared, I bought a year’s subscription to AccuWeather, and it is now part of my hurricane survival kit. AccuWeather provided me with the information I needed to make an informed, critical survival decision in a potentially deadly scenario. Thank you for your service.”

AccuWeather App UserSEPTEMBER 2022 – HURRICANE IAN

“I wanted to thank AccuWeather for the great job y’all did. This thing was forecast ‘right on the money.’ Fast-moving and powerful. That’s the forecast we gave everyone the day before, and you were right on target with this.”
