Hurricanes are monitored by various organizations such as the National Hurricane Center (NHC) in the United States, the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF), and the Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC) among others. These organizations use satellites, buoys, aircraft, and computer models to track and predict the path and intensity of hurricanes.
