In an older one article We have already looked at the best ocean weather apps for Android devices. In this article, we present the best Android apps for tropical cyclones, all of which are free and cover the North Atlantic and Northeast Pacific. Let's take a look at the most important ones:

Hurricane Tracker

A new application with a very satisfactory graphical environment that provides satellite images, graphical visualization and graphical trajectory forecast as well as the official forecast from the National Hurricane CenterOn the positive side, the excellent graphical display. On the negative side, the lack of official verbal forecast advisories concerning sailors.

SeaStorm Hurricane Tracker

Very good application with a lot of information such as the official graphic display from National Hurricane Center, the official probable wind speed map, satellite images, verbal forecasts such as the public advisory and the Discussion. On the downside, it does not contain forecast advisories.

Hurricane Forecast Advisory

It may be a graphically poor application, but the user can find a wealth of information in terms of verbal forecasts and warnings, always from the National Hurricane CenterAlso, unlike the two previous applications, this one also contains forecast advisories, which of course concern sailors, since they contain the safety limits for sailing in the tropical cyclone area. On the negative side, the poor graphical environment.

Hurricane Software

An interesting application with an excellent visualization of the tropical cyclone's trajectory in a Google Earth environment. It also contains a multitude of satellite images in various spectra and color treatments. On the downside, the lack of verbal forecasts and the poor reproduction of the official graphical representations from the National Hurricane Center.
