An interactive archive replaying every tropical cyclone that passed within 500 km of Hawaiʻi since 1950, advisory by advisory.

Why it surfaced

The archive pairs NOAA's authoritative best-track record with the official forecast issued at each point in a storm's life, allowing readers to replay what forecasters knew before the outcome. It also documents its gaps, rejected data points, satellite layers, wind fields, and uncertainty calculations instead of hiding the reconstruction behind a polished map.

August 15’s newborn domains include a live-aboard hydrogen airship with a two-tonne lift problem, a Japanese toolbox that explains its assumptions, an advisory-by-advisory Hawaiʻi hurricane archive, and a wedding-gift game about ungrateful poultry.

This is one of 1,000 discoveries in the 2026-08-15 Domain Arrivals issue.
