Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC)

The Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC) is a U.S. military agency responsible for monitoring and forecasting tropical cyclones such as typhoons and hurricanes in the Pacific and Indian Oceans. It provides timely alerts, warnings, and detailed storm information to assist military operations, government agencies, and the public in preparing for these powerful storms. Using satellite imagery, weather models, and data analysis, JTWC tracks storm paths and intensity, ensuring accurate and up-to-date information to support safety and decision-making in regions affected by these natural phenomena.
