Canadian Hurricane Centre

|
The Canadian Hurricane Centre operated by Environment Canada exists to advise Canadians on the threat of hurricanes and tropical storms. The Centre also serves to provide guidance to weather centres in all regions potentially affected by one of these storms.
The National Hurricane Center in Miami and the Canadian Hurricane Centre routinely consult each other to coordinate the tracks and positions of all storms that pose a threat to Canada.
The Canadian Hurricane Centre is based in Halifax, Nova Scotia. While hurricanes are uncommon in Canada, they do approach or strike from time to time.
