The public forecast is issued twice daily and amended whenever conditions change materially. Warnings are issued and updated at any hour, as conditions require.

Grenada's terrain creates very different conditions over short distances. A shower over the interior highlands may never reach the southern coast. A forecast covers the whole tri-island state and cannot resolve every valley.

No. Coverage comes from regional radars in the Eastern Caribbean, and Grenada sits near the edge of their useful range, so light showers can be missed.

Through the data request process. Student and school requests are normally free; commercial and engineering requests are chargeable.

Warnings are published in a structured CAP feed intended for reuse by broadcasters, agencies and app developers. Contact us before republishing forecasts so we can agree how attribution and updates are handled.
