Frequently asked
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. Cancel from your account settings and you'll keep paid access through the end of your paid period (year or month). No lock-in, no fine print.
Do you offer a free trial of paid plans?
Yes — 7 days on any paid plan, no credit card required to start.
What's a "location-specific summary"?
When a storm threatens, NHC writes one Forecast Discussion for the whole storm. Paid accounts get a version tailored to a specific county you've saved — what the storm means for your area, not the neighboring state.
Can I use the API commercially?
Yes — the Professional plan includes a commercial-use license. For high-volume or unusual cases, contact us for a custom plan.
