hurdat2py

Open-source Python package for processing, analyzing, and plotting NOAA's HURDAT2 hurricane database.

Project Overview

hurdat2py is a custom Python package designed to extract structured data out of NOAA's official Atlantic and Pacific HURDAT2 tropical cyclone re-analysis datasets.

The package handles parsing the comma-delimited text format into clean, structured Python objects and DataFrames. It allows meteorologists, researchers, and weather enthusiasts to query historical storm tracks, analyze atmospheric parameters (such as maximum sustained winds and minimum central pressure), and generate spatial visualizations.
