Data

The links below take you to the very specific page to get the data

• Pacific -> https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/data/hurdat/hurdat2-1851-2018-120319.txt
• Atlantic -> https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/data/hurdat/hurdat2-1851-2018-120319.txt

The data seems confusing at first but the link below explains every variable with examples

• https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/data/hurdat/hurdat2-format-nencpac.pdf

• The way we used this data is to copy paste the data in note pad and save it as .csv as the data is comma delimited.
• From there we imported the file into R studio and imported it without header since the file format is weird in the beginning.
• We removed the rows with info about the hurricane ( 3 columns rows ), but to preserve this data we added that info to the rows corresponding to that hurricane.
