CPHC RSS Feeds
CPHC's tropical cyclone advisories and many of its text products are available through RSS. This page is a brief summary of RSS feeds at CPHC.
What is RSS?
The latest version of RSS (2.0) is an acronym for Really Simple Syndication (see specifications). It is a method of summarizing the latest news and information from a website in a lightweight form that can be easily read by a number of news readers or news aggregators. Additionally, modern web browsers and most email clients can interpret RSS directly without additional add-on software. The idea of RSS is to give users the ability to quickly obtain the latest updates from a web site in a headline or a news digest format. This in turn helps reduce load on the web servers during high-traffic periods.
What do I need to use the RSS feeds?
Most modern web browsers can read RSS feeds automatically. Alternatively, you can often add a feed to your favorite email client or use a stand-alone feed reader. All of these options can be set to check for new feeds on a recurring basis, generally once an hour or so.
Once you have installed a feed reader, simply add the CPHC feed addresses to the list of feeds in the reader. The installation instructions for the readers will help you with that. If your browser, newsreader or aggregator uses "auto-discovery" then simply enter the main CPHC address (http://www.prh.noaa.gov/cphc) and it will find all of the active feeds.
CPHC RSS Feeds
CPHC offers RSS feeds for many of our tropical cyclone and marine text products along with general basin-wide feeds. We also offer tropical cyclone storm wallet feeds, where the feed information is specific to each active storm. The storm wallet feeds are numbered from 1-5 using the same number as is used for the advisories for an active storm.
