Brand new website in collaboration with Roger Pielke Jr. (The Honest Broker) using our combined research and decades of experience on the science of hurricanes. We’ll be updating it with new features as long as they add value, and help inform the public about the intersection of climate science with global tropical cyclone activity. Of course, you’ll find my favorite charts of Accumulated Cyclone Energy (ACE) as well as Dr. Pielke’s work on damages, landfalls, and normalization.
Weather Trader is entirely reader-supported publication (no ads). To receive all new posts and support our work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.
New: Check out weather.football to see if your favorite team (NFL, college) plays in terrible weather. Will be a fun resource for Fall 2026 season ahead, powered by weather.city and supported by subscribers here at Weather Trader.
New: Satellite viewer (then radar) —> e.g. Equatorial Africa tropical waves viewed at squall.cloud (Squall Cloud)
Charts update every day!
More Weather Wires — coming soon, too!
