Pages: 11 (including cover and credits). Sizes: A4 (210 × 297 mm) and US Letter (8.5 × 11 in), both PDFs included in one zip.

Printing: Print at 100% / actual size on A4 or US Letter. Inside pages use light backgrounds and print well in black and white; covers are dark, so start from page 2 to save ink.

Every fact is checked against National Hurricane Center, NOAA, NASA, Met Office and World Meteorological Organization web pages (checked 31 Oct 2026) and the sources are listed on each pack’s credits page. Facts that can change, such as season averages, are printed with that date. Photos and the storm-track map are public-domain images from NASA, NOAA, the US National Weather Service and the US Navy (the map was made by Nilfanion on a NASA background), via Wikimedia Commons; drawings, puzzles and layouts are REALLYBYTE’s own work. Not endorsed by NOAA, NASA, the Met Office or the WMO. This is an educational resource, not official emergency guidance: always follow your local weather service’s warnings and evacuation orders.
