What's New in Leeward
1.1.0
August 11, 2026
- 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.
