Available on Apple and Android platforms, it can be found on the Google Play store and the Apple store by searching for Cayman weather or CINWS.
The app also includes Sister Islands and Cayman Islands forecast radio streams, live Doppler radar animations, surface analysis, hurricane bulletins and marine charts. There are also plans to add weather satellite images and live weather conditions from a number of other locations in the Cayman Islands.
In addition, for the first time, CINWS is offering a weather forecast specifically for the Sister Islands. This forecast will only be available streaming on the weather app or through the CINWS Facebook page.
CINWS is the only official source of local meteorological information in the Cayman Islands and the only organisation that can issue weather-related warnings for the country, the press release said.

Im happy, this is awesome news!
