Severe weather alerts
Official warnings from weather services around the world, gathered onto one map: storms, floods, heat, snow and more, each with who issued it.
What you see
- A pin per alert, marked by severity.
- Click one for its type, severity, area and issuer, with a link to the original.
- Hurricane and tropical storm forecast cones from the US National Hurricane Center.
Where the data comes from
- US National Weather ServiceActive alerts across the United States.
- Environment Canada and the provincesWeather warnings and civil alerts in Canada.
- WMO Severe Weather Information CentreSevere and extreme warnings from national weather services worldwide.
- GDACS and NASA EONETGlobal disaster alerts and natural events.

Sources are read every 3 minutes, and the map checks every 5.
Good to know
- Coverage depends on what each country publishes in a form TAKIP can read; many are covered only through WMO’s severe and extreme warnings.
- Each alert is one point, not the full warning area. US alerts without a mapped area are left out.
