Monthly Tropical Weather Summary
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
900 AM EDT Thu May 1 2025

This is the last National Hurricane Center (NHC) Tropical Weather 
Summary (TWS) text product that will be issued for the Atlantic 
basin.  The tropical cyclone statistics from the TWS will be found 
on hurricanes.gov beginning with the 2025 hurricane season.  This 
change will allow for more frequent updates to the statistics and 
the addition of graphics and links to supporting information that 
this text only format cannot support.  An account of tropical 
cyclone names, classification (i.e., tropical depression, tropical 
storm, or hurricane), and maximum sustained wind speed will be found 
on hurricanes.gov at this url beginning around July 1: 

https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/data/tcr/index.php?basin=atl

A sample webpage is provided here, with the "2023 Atlantic Summary 
Table (PDF)" example linked below the Tropical Cyclone Reports 
(TCRs):

https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/data/tcr/index.php?season=2023&basin=atl 

This information will be updated no less frequently than monthly 
during the hurricane season and will be updated after the season's 
TCRs are completed to document the official record of the season's 
tropical cyclone activity.  Previously, the statistics and data in 
the TWS were based on real-time operational assessments and were 
not updated when the season's TCRs were complete.  The new 
web-based format allows the information to be updated once the 
post-analysis for the season is complete.
