I built a weather and hurricane tracking site for the Eastern Caribbean islands ( https://dewedda.com ). PHP, MySQL, Cloudflare, Visual Crossing API, Leaflet.js for maps. The interesting part wasn't the stack. It was realizing how much the interpretation layer matters when you're building for a specific region. Wind descriptions, "feels like" calculations, condition summaries, all tuned for temperate climates by default. I've been reworking them for the Eastern Caribbean audience. Wrote about what I learned: https://hydn.dev/82-degrees-feels-like/
