NOAA's Atlantic Hurricane Outlook
NOAA's East Pacific Hurricane Outlook

NOAA's Climate Prediction Center (CPC) works in close collaboration with NOAA's National Hurricane Center and the Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory to produce seasonal hurricane outlooks for the Atlantic, Eastern Pacific, West Pacific, and South Pacific. The current atmospheric and oceanic conditions over the tropical North Atlantic, East Pacific, West Pacific, and South Pacific are summarized in the links below. Summaries of the seasonal outlooks and activity are available through 2012, with later years avaiable in BAMS State of the Climate annual publication.
