Hurricane Calendar is a history app from Aquarius Mobile Studios that puts every recorded hurricane, typhoon and tropical cyclone on the calendar. Pick a date (today, your birthday, any week, month, season or range) and see which storms formed, peaked, made landfall or were active then, in every ocean, from 1842 to 2026. Each storm replays along its official track, and Plus adds layers of real data under it: dated NASA satellite imagery, NOAA sea-surface temperature and ocean depth. Every wind speed names the agency that recorded it and how it was measured. The tracks come from NOAA’s IBTrACS archive, merged with the National Hurricane Center’s HURDAT2 databases. It is a history explorer, not a forecast or warning service. Hurricane Calendar is on Google Play for Android, with no account, no ads and no analytics.
On Google Play for Android: free to download, with one optional one-time upgrade.
13,314 recorded storms from 1842 to 2026, in every ocean basin, with 356,292 official track positions.
Five ways to choose dates: on this day, a month, a week, a year or season, or any range between two dates.
Anniversaries (the day a storm formed, peaked, made landfall or ended) kept separate from storms that were simply active.
Every date has history: even the quietest day in the archive, April 28, has 75 storms on record; September 9 has 577.
Plus layers for replays: dated NASA satellite imagery from 2000, NOAA sea-surface temperature from September 1981, and ocean depth.
Official WMO storm-name lists for eight regions, with retired names marked.
History only, never a warning service: links go straight to the official forecast centers for current storms.
No account, no ads, no analytics. Your settings, saved storms and personal dates stay on your device.
Pick any date
Today, your birthday, an anniversary, a week, a month, a whole season or any range between two dates. Southern Hemisphere seasons run from July to June, so a season can span two calendar years, and February 29 only matches leap years.
Anniversaries, kept honest
The day a storm formed, reached its peak, made landfall or ended is kept apart from the storms that were simply active on a date. Landfall times come from the National Hurricane Center where it recorded them; elsewhere a coast crossing is estimated from the track and labeled as an estimate.
Every ocean, one archive
The Atlantic, the eastern, central and western Pacific, the North Indian Ocean, the southwest Indian Ocean, the Australian region and the South Pacific. A storm that crosses from one ocean into another keeps one identity, and each is called what its region calls it: hurricane, typhoon or cyclone.
Replay the track
Watch each storm travel its official best track with its wind, pressure and category at each step. With Plus, the replay runs over dated NASA satellite imagery from 2000 on, NOAA sea-surface temperature from September 1981 on, and ocean depth. Positions between official fixes are labeled as interpolated, and every replay has a full text list of its events.
Storms near you
Give the app your town or ZIP code, or let it use your approximate location on the phone, and it lists every recorded storm that passed within about 50 miles since 1851. The count, the closest storm and the three most recent are free; the full list, by date or by distance, comes with Plus.
The Daily Track Quiz
One mystery storm a day, the same for everyone. Name it from its track, with a clue after each miss, keep a streak with a shield for a missed day, and share your result as a picture.
Every major U.S. hurricane, with its sources
424 sourced stories cover every major U.S. hurricane since 1851: where it came ashore, how strong it was and what the official reports recorded, with every source linked.
Damage then and now
Where a reported damage figure exists, the app shows it as reported, in U.S. dollars of that year at official exchange rates, and in today's dollars by the consumer price index. Where no figure exists, it stays missing rather than guessed.
Storms active now, labelled
In season, the app can list storms active now from GDACS, with their latest reported positions and tracks so far, linked to the official advisories. They are labelled as not a forecast or warning: for a live storm, follow your national weather service.
Share, the Coach and the widget
Share any storm, today's date, your town's storms or a quiz result as a picture card with a link to the app. The Coach button on every screen answers how the app works, on the phone. A home-screen widget shows today's storm and your quiz streak, and an optional daily reminder brings one piece of hurricane history a day.
Names and retired names
Browse the official storm-name lists for eight regions, see how they rotate and which names were retired, and look up any name to find every storm that carried it.
Numbers with their sources
Wind speeds keep their agency and averaging period (1-minute, 3-minute or 10-minute) and are never converted between agencies. Damage figures stay in the currency and year the source reported. A missing value is shown as missing, never as zero.
Something new every day
A storm of the day, a hint of tomorrow’s, the storms on your own dates and rotating collections of record-breakers: the calendar is different every time you open it.
History, not warnings
Hurricane Calendar never forecasts or warns. Storms that may still have been active when the archive was updated are held back, and for anything happening now the app sends you straight to the official forecast centers:
