The NHC is government operated to protect the citizens and properties of the United States. This would mean that the interest in storms in other climates might interest the individual meterologist but would not be in the realm of the job at the NHC to do more than give it a nod, if they have time. I am afraid that public Television, and internet gives every one the impression that the NHC stands for International Hurricane Center but, it has its boundaries.

The NHC is limited by all politics relating to money and economic impact to the United States and Its properties.
