Primary sources and original explanation
Weather claims are checked against the linked agency product, such as an NHC advisory or JMA analysis. Agency bulletins remain identified as agency material. Our contribution is the navigation, comparison of products and explanations of terms. A source link should let readers inspect the underlying statement and its time.
AI assistance and accountability
AI tools assist with drafting, translation and site development. Their output can contain errors, so a fluent explanation is not treated as evidence by itself. Official references and reproducible display checks are used when preparing updates. We do not claim that every live value has been certified by a human meteorologist or that automated checks replace specialist judgement.
Publication, analysis and review dates
A source publication time belongs to the official product; an analysis time may describe an earlier observation. A page’s review date belongs to its written explanation. Automated refreshes do not make all article text newly reviewed. Historical statements include their dates and remain distinct from the live panel.
Translations and uncertain information
English, Chinese and Spanish guides explain the same topic, while original official bulletin text may remain in its source language. If a translation and a source appear inconsistent, open the dated official product and report the passage for review. Missing data, uncertain forecasts and an absent system are not filled with guessed values or treated as proof that hazards have ended.
Corrections and substantive updates
A useful correction identifies the page, the statement and the relevant official source or publication time. When an error is confirmed, the affected explanation or display logic can be corrected. Substantive changes should carry an updated review date and explain a material change of interpretation where needed. We preserve the distinction between an earlier forecast and a subsequently observed event.
Editorial and commercial decisions
Source selection and the description of storm conditions follow the published evidence. Advertising or sponsorship, if introduced, will be identified separately from editorial material. The advertising policy describes how commercial placements are to remain distinct from source links and live controls.
