Active cyclones from the National Hurricane Center. Atlantic and eastern Pacific only, not a global storm list. Movement in the feed is miles per hour.

Movement is how fast the cyclone itself is travelling, not the wind speed inside it. The National Hurricane Center covers the Atlantic and the eastern and central Pacific. Other basins are not in this list.
