What are Forecast Towers in Fortnite?

Forecast Towers in Fortnite are structures that let you know where the next Storm Circle is going to be, but they’re guarded by some heavily armed NPCs. If you and your squad manage to defeat them, you’ll earn a keycard that allows you to gather information using the tower’s scanner.

By securing Forecast Towers, you’ll gain a significant advantage over other players. Knowing the direction of the storm allows you to better position yourself for a Victory Royale.

How to secure forecast data from towers in Fortnite

To use Forecast Towers in Fortnite, you simply need to interact with its computer after getting the keycard from the eliminated guard. Here’s a breakdown of what you need to do, step by step:

1. Locate a Forecast Tower in the map.
2. Defeat the three NPCs guarding the tower.
3. Get the Keycard from the boss.
4. Head to the tower and press interact to reveal the next Storm Circle on your minimap.

You’ll be able to see the next Storm Circle until you’re eliminated or win the match.

Where to find Forecast Towers in Fortnite

Forecast Towers in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 3 can be found at five different locations around the map, but not all of them are active in every match. You need to wait until the second Storm Circle starts to be able to locate them, as they’ll appear with an indicator on your screen and map.

Here are all five locations where Forecast Towers can spawn in Chapter 5 Season 3, courtesy of Fortnite.GG:

• Northwest of Reckless Railways.
• South of Reckless Railways.
• Southwest of Restored Reels.
• Between Pleasant Piazza and Sandy Steppes.
• East of Nitrodrome.

If you have any trouble spotting Forecast Towers before they appear on your map, we recommend you reach a high point and search for them on the horizon. You can also try doing this when you jump from the battle bus. Since they are tall structures, you can see them flashing red or green from a distance.
