Go here -- http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/ -- and find the Storm Archives link near the bottom. Then pick your data and whether you want to see about hurricanes in the Atlantic or the Pacific.
To find and calculate the coordinates for all hurricanes and tropical storms from August 28th to the present day, you can follow these steps:
1. Determine a reliable source of hurricane and tropical storm data. Some reputable sources include the National Hurricane Center (NHC), the Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC), and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
2. Visit the website of your chosen source, such as the NHC website (https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/) or the NOAA website (https://www.noaa.gov/), where you can find historical hurricane and tropical storm data.
3. Look for a section or tool on the website that provides access to historical storm data. The NHC, for example, offers an option called "Archived Tropical Cyclones" in their "Data & Products" section.
4. Enter the specified dates (August 28th to the present day) into the search tool or select the relevant time period provided on the website. Different sources may have different ways to filter data based on dates, so explore the available options.
5. Once you've set the date range, the website should display a list of hurricanes and tropical storms that occurred during that time frame.
6. Identify the specific storms you are interested in and access their information. The website should provide details such as storm names, dates, geographical coordinates, wind speeds, and other relevant data.
7. To calculate the coordinates manually, convert the latitude and longitude values provided by the data source into a suitable format. The common format is degrees, minutes, and seconds (DMS) or decimal degrees.
8. Repeat these steps for each hurricane or tropical storm from August 28th until the present day that you wish to retrieve coordinates for.
Remember to consult the specific data source for any limitations or restrictions on the use of their data.
