## What is Pacific Storm Watch?

Live Eastern and Central Pacific tropical storms — NHC tracks, formation outlooks, and Hawaii rain. Brought to you by Hana Pono Data Kauai LLC.

Pacific Storm Watch is a focused weather desk for Hawaii and the Pacific basin. Watch active cyclones, remnants, and developing systems, compare ensemble tracks, and see rainfall without an account or ads.

FEATURES
• Live NHC storm tracks for the Eastern and Central Pacific
• Official forecast cone, model consensus, and GEFS spaghetti
• Formation outlooks, including redevelopment chances
• Hawaii rainfall from NWS Honolulu and nearby ocean
• Optional alerts when a system that can affect your islands is more likely to redevelop, strengthens, or brings more rain
• Optional in-app tips to keep the desk running

Weather data comes from NOAA. Support purchases are optional consumable tips processed by Apple.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.0.5 — 2026-10-02

Fixes a crash on launch while storms are loading. The forecast cone still stays around the storm when the track crosses the date line.

### 1.0.4 — 2026-10-02

The forecast cone stays around the storm when the track crosses the date line, instead of stretching across the ocean.

### 1.0.3 — 2026-09-30

Forecast tracks that cross the date line stay on the short path instead of wrapping around the world. Wind speed holds each published advisory until the next forecast hour.

### 1.0.2 — 2026-09-27

Hawaii rainfall now moves with the forecast. Play or scrub the timeline and the islands update hour by hour, using the same rolling 6-hour rainfall as the storm shield. You can also leave an optional tip to support the desk.

### 1.0.1 — 2026-09-26

Hawaii rainfall now moves with the forecast. Play or scrub the timeline and the islands update hour by hour, using the same rolling 6-hour rainfall as the storm shield.
