Best Track Data (HURDAT2)

Atlantic hurricane database (HURDAT2) 1851-2018 (5.9MB download) This dataset was provided on 10 May 2019 to include the 2018 update to the best tracks.

This dataset (known as Atlantic HURDAT2) has a comma-delimited, text format with six-hourly information on the location, maximum winds, central pressure, and (beginning in 2004) size of all known tropical cyclones and subtropical cyclones. The original HURDAT database has been retired.

Detailed information regarding the Atlantic Hurricane Database Re-analysis Project is available from the Hurricane Research Division.
