Hurricane Season (Jost Van Dyke)
18° 26.5′ N · 64° 45.1′ W · approximate
Jost Van Dyke sits in the Atlantic hurricane belt; Category 5 Irma hit directly in September 2017, destroying most buildings and stripping the island bare, and Maria's eyewall followed weeks later.
Practical
Coast Pilot 5: tropical cyclones are most likely to reach the area in August, September and October, bringing the heaviest rains and extreme winds. Wikipedia and Wikivoyage record the 2017 Irma and Maria damage and the recovery (Foxy's served as the island command center). Watch forecasts closely in the season and check your charter or insurer's named-storm rules. Coordinate is Great Harbour (approximate placeholder).
