The Caribbean Weather Center WEB site is a very comprehensive resource offering a full range of weather, marine, and climate information to the BVI sailor. This link takes you right to the local BVI weather and sailing conditions. See the "Climate" section which offers a detailed account of climate conditions in the BVI. It includes a page that charts wind, rain, sunlight, sea conditions, and more. The "Hurricane" and "Satellite" sections are also quite fascinating.

AccuWeather.com's 15-day Virgin Islands marine forecast for weather and wind. You can also get hourly details, records, averages, etc. Interestingly, AccuWeather is the only major commercial company that produces a hurricane forecast that can differ from the National Hurricane Center's. The Weather Channel and all TV, radio, and newspapers use the NHC forecast. (If you ever need a ZIP code, use 00830.) Sometimes the weather data is not uploaded in a timely fashion - if so, try these pages on Wunderground.com or Weather.com for 10-day forecasts and plenty of weather stats for the Virgin Islands.
