Performance Tracking > 2024 Hurricane Season
The Atlantic hurricane season relates to storms and hurricanes that develop in the Northern Hemisphere, specifically in the Atlantic Ocean, Gulf of Mexico, and Caribbean Sea, impacting the North American continent.
No subtropical or tropical developments formed in the Atlantic before the season's official start, marking the slowest beginning since 2014. Despite this, hurricane experts anticipate an above- average number of named storms for the year.
So far, this year's Atlantic Hurricane Season has been relatively slow. It started on June 19 th with the Tropical Storm Alberto. On June 29 th, Tropical Depression Two strengthened into Tropical Storm Beryl, which intensified on July 2nd to a Category 5 hurricane. On July 1st, Tropical Depression Three strengthened into Tropical Storm Chris.
The 2024 Pacific Hurricane Season officially began on May 15 th in the Eastern Pacific Ocean and June 1 st in the Central Pacific. Both end on November 30 th, 2024. For the third year in a row, no tropical cyclones formed in either basin before the official season began. The season has also experienced the slowest start for any Pacific hurricane season in the satellite era. The first tropical storm in the eastern Pacific, Aletta, didn't develop until July 4 th when a Tropical Depression One-E strengthened into Tropical Storm Aletta. Later, on July 24 th, the Tropical Storm Bud has formed.
For the 19 th consecutive year, WebSitePulse will provide free monitoring and notifications during the rest of the 2024 hurricane season to five of the most popular websites that present their users with real-time forecasts, emergency information, and donation opportunities in times of hurricanes, floods, and other natural or man-caused disasters.
The WebSitePulse Performance Reports will measure the websites' uptime and response time as the most critical metrics for any web-based operations' availability and reliability — crucial for the End Users' overall online experience. Web transactions will be measured every 15 minutes simultaneously from three different monitoring locations. In-depth analytical information is also collected and stored in the WebSitePulse system for future reference. The Reports reflect the most common performance criteria: response time and availability - but in-debt analytical information is also collected and stored in the WebSitePulse system for future references.
WebSitePulse reports the following results from web performance measurement of the Hurricane- and disaster-related websites:
The daily Average Response time from all monitored websites was 0.584 sec.
The typical shopping transaction took the least time for nesdis.noaa.gov visitors - 0.135 sec., while the visitors of weather.com had to be the most patient, as the shopping transaction there took in average of 1.453 sec.
One monitored website delivered above-the-average response times for its transactions, while four of them demonstrated below-the-average daily performance.
The daily Average Uptime for the entire Group was 100%.
All websites were available with no interruptions.
Report Highlights
No events of particular importance or possible negative impact on the online visitors' interaction with the Websites included into the 2024 Hurricane Season report were detected during the reported period, and according to WebSitePulse, the Group delivered the expected levels of End-User experience and Customer satisfaction.

WebSitePulse Performance Reports measure Uptime and Response Time as the most important metrics for the availability and the reliability of any web-based operation. Performance measurement takes place daily, every 15 minutes during the entire Hurricane season. The WebSitePulse website monitoring service is used to collect data and to create the reports.
The simultaneous monitoring is performed from 3 US locations of the WebSitePulse monitoring network: Trumbull, CT, San Francisco, CA and Chicago, IL. In case of a detected malfunction or unavailability, the system performs automated error verification from 3 independent resources and only after the above procedure is performed and has returned consistent results, the detected error is confirmed, recorded, and included in the daily performance reports. In these cases, an advanced WebSitePulse exclusive feature comes into play - Forced Monitoring - which automatically switches to a 3 minute - monitoring interval for increased accuracy.
