9 active systems, most recently updated first. 24 more have cleared or dissipated and wait in the storm archive.
Charts
Scroll the chart sideways to see the whole basin.
Systems form in the east and drift west through their life cycle toward landfall. Height is maximum sustained wind, read from each status's METAR. Systems that share a status sit side by side.

Every system of 2026 as a storm track, coloured by its strength at each report, after the National Hurricane Center's season summaries. Systems form out at sea in the east and head west: the 24 that shipped make landfall on the coast, the active ones are still at sea, ringed in red. Point at a track to see its name, or tap it once on a touch screen; click or tap again to open the system's page.

Nothing loggedStormiest
One stripe a day, after Ed Hawkins' warming stripes: deep blue for a day with nothing logged, then light blue to deep red by how stormy the station's weather was. 105 of 318 days this year had weather. Below, each project's own strip runs from the day it formed to its last report, coloured on the same scale, so they compare.
A cozy nook of odd little projects from Stormy the pfauguin, where one account works on every project.
All the atlases have shipped and moved to the archive: Christmas, Techno, Easter, Fests, Castles, National Parks, Towns and Discovery. The odd nook itself stays open, and news of any atlas lands here from now on: the daily source refresh, new batches when they come, and fixes such as the souvenir photo upload, which now opens in view with the year and says when a photo waits for review.
A free fan club for everything Stormy makes, where members carry a numbered card, collect a stamp for every project, climb four weather-named tiers, and vote on what comes next.
The National Parks Atlas is the sixth atlas to make invitations, tickets, vouchers and rain checks from, with a new kind, a Park visit, drawn as a woolly bison. A park's invitation starts at 09:00 unless the park opens later, and its links lead back under /north-america/.
A small games site that grew out of four earlier projects and keeps adding more: a storybook you decode, a German course told as a spy story, a typing game with a penguin coach, a game about protecting a very small planet, a box of Penguin Explorer games made for touch, train trips through the German-speaking countries, and a garden where English and German words grow from shared roots.
The owner gained a private admin page with the shelf's numbers, counts only: profiles, saves per game, the busiest boards, links to Stormy Fans, stamps earned against stamps collected, and passkeys, over 7, 30, or 90 days or all time. Stormy Fans' admin page links to it. Shipped and in use. The owner's first look at the real numbers comes next, and later a redesign of the shelf's overall layout from mockups, with no date set.
An ad-free, tracking-free online world for families, where children play games, send mail, keep memories, and learn across four illustrated worlds, in English, Spanish, and German.
The sticker and Celebration Corner bugs found on The Great Penguin Mystery were checked here too. Four of them applied and were fixed, along with the same stuck-finger lock in the games' touch controls: a lost finger no longer freezes the stickers or a game's controls, and the sticker tray no longer jumps or loses taps when changes from the other home arrive. Shipped and in use, with bugs being fixed. The fixes go out on 6 November once their last check passes, followed the same day by an automatic daily picture for the Celebration Corner.
A playful trilingual world of stories, games, messages, and things to make together, in English, Spanish, and German. Anyone can visit and play. Signing in is just for the family.
Versions 8.55 and 8.56, after a report from the family. The shared holiday drawings in the Celebration Corner, now the Lantern walk, got two fixes: their automatic Keepsake picture now shows the drawing as it was at the end of the day, not just after its first change, and a new Save to Keepsakes button saves a picture at any time. Placing stickers sometimes froze until the page was reloaded; the likely causes were fixed on every sticker page, and a full picture now says so instead of ignoring the tap. Stable and in use, with bugs fixed as the family reports them. Over the next few days the family tries the Lantern walk on the iPad, with St. Martin's Day on 11 November, since only real use will show whether the freeze is gone; World Explorers, which shares this code, gets the same check. The Advent calendar opens on 26 November.
A personal study of an old rural house, covering its solar potential, climate, soil, water, and river, with an illustrated village history and a garden redesign.

Two more sessions finished, six of thirteen, each in a single sitting. The house book now rebuilds only when its printed content changes, and only during a general rebuild, so routine runs no longer take about 28 minutes. Finished renovation work shows on every 3D view of the house, and the garden earthworks are one figure everywhere, now counting the footings, which raised the estimate. The other seven sessions follow, with the book on the site, contact details, river-bank permits, furniture and tools, a fix for turning the 3D views, and the workshop and attic designs, then a full check with repairs until it passes, likely late on 6 November or on 7 November.

One penguin, too many feelings. Interactive storybooks, one-page comics, and songs about the questions she can never quite answer.
Stable and in use, growing in bursts. Next, with no date set: tap support so readers on phones can finish the older books' hidden sentences, a reward for a completed notebook, or a second season of books.
Doctoral research. The details stay in the lab until they are published.

Final review and polishing ahead of the defense. The closing chapter was revised, and the manuscript goes to the advisor once the remaining choices are made.
