Alternate Versions of the NHC Website (Text)


In an effort to reach as large an audience as possible, including mobile customers, the National Hurricane Center has developed a few alternate versions of its website. The following is a brief description of each version:

Text-only:  This version is optimized for those users with computers on dial-up or other very slow Internet connections. All areas of the NHC website are accessible, but most areas will have images disabled (with some exceptions). The text-only version is available at:  www.nhc.noaa.gov/index.shtml?text

Mobile/PDA:  Offering critical hurricane advisories and marine forecasts, the PDA version of NHC's website is best suited for those users with SmartPhones, PDAs, or other modern cell phones capable of displaying basic HTML web pages. A selection of satellite imagery with zoom capability is also offered. These PDA pages can be directly accessed at:  www.nhc.noaa.gov/mobile

WAP:   Similar to the PDA pages described above, NHC's WAP pages were developed several years ago for cell phone customers. Although the WAP pages are very similar to the PDA pages described above, the technology is older and has restrictions on file size and content length. If you have been using NHC's WAP pages on your phone, you might try the new mobile pages described above. The WAP pages can be accessed at:  www.nhc.noaa.gov/index.wml


Other NWS Mobile Weather Links

weather.gov in basic HTML:  mobile.weather.gov
weather.gov in WAP (WML) format:  cell.weather.gov


DISCLAIMER:  WAP-formatted web pages provided by the NHC website in no way constitute an endorsement of any particular service provider, nor of any particular vendor of PDA devices or similar equipment which may be used to access these services.

Remember that your reception is subject to your wireless provider's area of coverage. The color and quality of images and graphics will vary with make and model of the wireless device. Depending on the capability of your device, not all available links will work.

Please send email to nhcwebmaster@noaa.gov if you wish to send comments or suggestions about this service.
