Canadian Hurricane Centre

Canadian Hurricane Centre

The Canadian Hurricane Centre in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia is the government agency responsible for tracking tropical cyclones which may threaten the coast or coastal waters of Canada. It is part of the Maritimes Weather Centre of Environment Canada, and is the Maritimes' first defence against tropical storms and hurricanes which threaten from the Atlantic Ocean.

The CHC's counterpart agency in the U.S is the National Hurricane Center, which flies hurricane hunter aircraft into Atlantic basin storms.
