Interpretation

What matters on St. John

UV and heat

Tropical sun can become the limiting condition even on a beautiful day. Shift exposed activity earlier and treat shade and water as part of the plan.

Wind and water

Island-wide wind is context, not a beach verdict. Exposure, swell direction, local terrain, and operator guidance still decide whether water activity is appropriate.

Rain and alerts

A model forecast is guidance. An NWS watch or warning is official safety information and always takes priority over platform suggestions.
