Most weather apps rely on global models and don\u2019t show accurate conditions for Bermuda.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe app, which is not affiliated with the Weather Service, includes BWS\u2019s public and marine forecasts, as well as the local radar \u2014 the only accurate source for real-time rain conditions on the island. The app also shows tide times.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI built squalls.app because I wanted a weather app that works for Bermuda,\u201d Mr Cooper said. \u201cSo often I\u2019ve heard from visitors concerned about the weather for their upcoming trip because Apple or Google predicted a washout, when in reality a few scattered showers were predicted.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen I announced the app on Facebook, I was overwhelmed by the positive response. People have been crying out for an app like this,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>A spokesperson added, \u201cThe app is available at https:\/\/squalls.app as well as on the Apple App Store. Android users can save it to their home screen as a full-screen app. A version will be released to the Google Play Store in the next few weeks.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For more information or to download the app, <a href=\"https:\/\/apps.apple.com\/us\/app\/squalls-bermuda-weather\/id6762896777\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">click here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"slb_group[1571711] slb slb_internal\" href=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/squalls-Bermuda-May-21-2026.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1571712\" alt=\"squalls Bermuda May 21 2026\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/squalls-Bermuda-May-21-2026.jpg\" width=\"800\" height=\"576\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/bernews.com\/category\/bermuda-technology\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-361931\" alt=\"click here banner technology 7\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/click-here-banner-technology-7.jpg\" width=\"600\" height=\"60\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/share\" class=\"twitter-share-button\" data-count=\"horizontal\" data-url=\"https:\/\/bernews.com\/2026\/05\/bermuda-weather-app-squalls-launches\/\" data-via=\"bernewsdotcom\" data-text=\"Bermuda Weather App \u2018Squalls\u2019 Launches\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><\/a><a class=\"mr_social_share_whatsapp\" href=\"https:\/\/bernews.com\/2026\/05\/bermuda-weather-app-squalls-launches\/whatsapp:\/\/send?text=Bermuda+Weather+App+%E2%80%98Squalls%E2%80%99+Launches%20https%3A%2F%2Fbernews.com%2F2026%2F05%2Fbermuda-weather-app-squalls-launches%2F\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/whatsapp.png\" class=\"nopin\" alt=\"Share on WhatsApp\" title=\"Share on WhatsApp\" \/><\/a><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" class=\"linksalpha_button linksalpha_link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.linksalpha.com\/social\/mobile\" data-url=\"https:\/\/bernews.com\/2026\/05\/bermuda-weather-app-squalls-launches\/\" data-text=\"Bermuda Weather App \u2018Squalls\u2019 Launches\" data-desc=\"A new locally built weather app -- called Squalls -- is now available, created Bermudian developer Adam Cooper.
