Typhoon2000.com (with back-up domain names such as: “www.typhoon2000.ph” & “www.maybagyo.com”) is a website which provides “easy-to-understand” tropical cyclone information over the South China Sea and Northwest Pacific Basin (from Malay Peninsula – 100° E up to the International Date Line – 180°). This website is updated every 6 hours (12pm, 6pm, and 6am Philippine Time ~ GMT+8) during times of tropical cyclone activity except 12am Philippine Time (to be included if Tropical Cyclone will pass over the Philippine Islands or close to Bicol Region).
Typhoon2000.com is often referred to as a “one-stop” web portal which links all Asia-Pacific warning centers monitoring active or existing tropical cyclones.
The tropical cyclone information available on this site are taken from different online meteorological agencies from around the world-wide web namely: WeatherPhilippines Foundation Inc., Philippine Atmospheric Geophysical & Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA), U.S. Navy’s Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC) based in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, United Nations’ Regional Specialized Meteorological Centre (RSMC) Tokyo-Typhoon Centre (Japan Meteorological Agency), & Hong Kong Observatory.
