iPhone
Leeward is your daily Caribbean weather companion — and your hurricane warning system the moment one starts forming.
ISLAND LIFE — every day
Daily marine forecasts for your island: wind, seas, and swell from NWS Coastal Waters Forecast (USVI, Puerto Rico) and local met offices across the Caribbean. Zone-specific, not basin-wide.
USVI BEACH REPORTS
Ranked beach picks for St. Thomas, St. John, and Water Island, refreshed daily. Each rating folds in sargassum exposure, water quality, cruise-ship calls, and swell — so the top of the list is actually the right pick for today.
STORM MODE — when it matters
Real-time tracking direct from the National Hurricane Center: storm position, category, maximum sustained winds, movement, watches and warnings, 5-day forecast cone, and closest approach distance to your island. Multi-storm support when two or more systems are in the basin.
The numbers on the card and the numbers in the storm summary come from the same NHC feed — no AI inventing facts.
NOTIFICATIONS YOU CONTROL
Five notification modes, from Storm Only (alerts only when a system is a direct threat) to Verbose (every advisory cycle). Granular controls for formation, category change, watch/warning issuance, approach, and passage. Optional daily summary at the time you choose.
COVERAGE
Nine Caribbean island groups:
• Leeward Islands (St. Maarten, Anguilla, Antigua, Guadeloupe)
• Virgin Islands (St. Thomas, St. John, St. Croix, Tortola, Virgin Gorda)
• Puerto Rico, Vieques, Culebra
• Northern Lesser Antilles (Martinique, St. Lucia)
• Windward Islands (Barbados, Grenada, Trinidad)
• Hispaniola (Dominican Republic, Haiti)
• Jamaica & Cayman
• Bahamas (Nassau, Grand Bahama, Abaco)
• Bermuda
APPLE WATCH, WIDGETS, LIVE ACTIVITIES
Standalone watchOS app with risk-level complications. Home and lock screen widgets show island status at a glance. During an active storm, Live Activities and the Dynamic Island keep distance and category visible without opening the app.
BUILT IN THE ISLANDS
Leeward is built in the US Virgin Islands by someone who lives here — not a mainland app with the Caribbean bolted on.
Data sources: National Hurricane Center, National Weather Service, regional met offices (Antigua, Dominica, Trinidad & Tobago, Jamaica, Bahamas, Bermuda), NOAA AOML (sargassum), USVI DPNR (water quality).
Ratings & Reviews
- The tropical outlook now lists every system the Hurricane Center is tracking, each with its own chance of forming and what it means for your island. Distances tell you how far the storm is — a low 2,300 miles out used to read as 402 miles away.
- Risk levels have names now: Take It Easy, An Eye to the Horizon, Take Watch, Shutters Up, Take Shelter. The dot, the banner and your notifications all agree on them.
- Beach cards show the day's hazards beside the rating, with walk-in times so you know the trek before you park. The badge, the stars and the dot finally use one scale. St. Thomas and St. John coverage is filled out.
- Daily summaries arrive at the hour you picked, in your island's local time.
- Bermuda has marine data that's actually from Bermuda, AI-written text is labelled, and swiping between islands is smoother.
