Stormchaser Josh Morgerman has been prowling the earth for violent cyclones since age 21 and is the world’s top hurricane chaser.
Combining an aggressive chase style with iron determination, he has a near-100% success rate penetrating the most powerful storms around the planet—in all four hemispheres. He has a penchant for chasing difficult-to-reach storms in exotic locations—the ones no one else will go after.
Morgerman’s original chase turf was the USA. That changed in 2007, when he singlehandedly hunted ferocious Category-5 Hurricane Dean on Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula. In 2013, Morgerman expanded his focus to East Asia, hunting down an incredible four typhoons in just over a month, ending with Category-5 Super Typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines. And in 2017 he started chasing cyclones Down Under.
In 2024, he established Hurricane House—a specially designed and fortified hurricane-resistant house in Bay Saint Louis, Mississippi, complete with a state-of-the-art, research-grade weather station on the back lawn.
Morgerman has collected rare data inside many historic cyclones. His data are regularly used by the National Hurricane Center in seasonal postanalysis—and on multiple occasions, his readings have been the decisive factor in determining a storm’s landfall intensity. Morgerman has also co-authored peer-reviewed papers on historic hurricanes.
Morgerman is the star of the TV series, Mission: Hurricane, on WeatherSpy. Before that, he starred in the UKTV/BBC international hit TV series, Hurricane Man—broadcast in every major TV market around the world and now available on Amazon Prime.
He’s a popular guest speaker and brand ambassador, and he’s a frequent on-air personality, appearing regularly on Fox News, The Weather Channel, CBS News, CNN, ABC News in Australia, Sky News in the UK, and many other media outlets. He’s currently on contract as an anchor personality and field correspondent for the TV network WeatherNation.
On social media, Morgerman commands a loyal and highly-engaged following of several hundred thousand fans across Facebook, X (Twitter), Instagram, and YouTube.
