Getting weather ready for 2024 hurricane season

More than 10,000 people toured the U.S. Air Force Reserve's WC-130J during the Caribbean Hurricane Awareness Tour at Aguadilla, Puerto Rico, April 20, 2024. NOAA hurricane specialists and the U.S. Air Force Reserve Hurricane Hunters discussed hurricane preparedness, resilience and how people can become “weather-ready” during the CHAT April 16-20, 2024. As part of the event, dignitaries, students and the public toured the “Hurricane Hunter” aircraft to learn how the unit collects weather data to improve National Hurricane Center forecasts.
