Leave a Review Tempest Weather
WEATHER STATION OF THE FUTURE
The Tempest weather station is outstanding. Easy to set up and install. The real jewel is the Tempest Application. It provides more data and a historical perspective that is not easily found in other instruments without a lot of work. If you’re looking for the weather station of the future, tempest and the associated weather application is it. I love it, I think you can too.Show lessAirbss9
App needs dark mode
The app & web sites needs a dark mode!! In my cabin, I use an Apple iPad as a permanent, always on, wall mounted monitor for the Tempest. In my shop, I use a dedicated, always on, built Windows 10 PC with dual, wall mounted 21’ monitors (Tempest open in MS Edge browser in portrait mode on one monitor & My Radar Pro on 2nd monitor). The default UI for both is extremely, way to bright and needs to have a dark mode. It’s 2021, time to get in the game with a dark mode!! The actual weather station is fine but is never seen. The UI is what is seen and used. Dark mode please. Thank YouShow lessTurtlebeachbum
The Real Deal
Very happy with my Tempest Weather Station. Set up was easy and once I decided where and how to mount it, it has been performing as advertised. The haptic rain sensor seems to be extremely accurate when compared to my old analog rain collection gauge. I would recommend this weather station to anyone who wants to geek out on weather...or simply keep track of exactly what’s going on at their location. It’s the Real Deal!
The iPhone/iPad integration is great, too. Now, how about a widget/app for us Apple Watch users?Show lessleaderinla
The Best Home Weather System
I’ve been using the Tempest Weather Station for about 6 weeks. It was a simple 5 minutes from switching the unit on until I was getting weather data on my devices. I really like the accuracy of the temperature, wind, rainfall, barometer changes. This is by far the absolutely best home weather station I have had on over 25 years of using different systems. Sharing the app for our location’s weather with family really makes me appreciate the accuracy and simplicity of this advanced system.
Also have Tempest online with Weather Underground. WU rates my data input a “Gold” status.
100% recommend the Tempest Station and the App.Show lessMarco's Big Backyard
Could anyone ask for more?
I am 34 days into my Tempest weather station and the Weatherflow developers have kept every promise. I would like to say I couldn’t ask for more but I haven’t seen the feature that is most important to me come online. The ability to adapt to my temperature conditions rather than copy the local weather forecast has yet to show itself. I live in a valley where my mornings are well below freezing and a half mile away my neighbors never have to protect their plants and animals from damage. I hope to see my system predict my conditions soon.Show lessSolvang Don
Good hardware, disappointing app
Nice hardware, but i feel like the app is trying to hide the actual info from my personal weather station behind forecasts and things I’m not interested in seeing. The old version was preferable, where it was just my station’s readings, history, and graphs, but now that’s hidden away under the little icon at the top, and launching the app always starts me in things I have no interest in. These changes also impact the web links, but you can modify the URL for the old interface. Additionally, you can’t set the unit to Celsius and then share the web link to your station to your American neighbours as they can’t then view it in Fahrenheit, your personal preference is also what’s reflected on the web link, instead of allowing them to pick unit.Show lessElectric Monk
Love the system
Have been waiting for awhile to get a system at home and this one met everything I was looking for. Since install I love that it integrates into other tempest systems and makes mine even more accurate. I find it better than the local system that is based on what is happening at the airport. Highly recommend the system.Show lessDhamman1
Feature requests - dark mode, etc
Great app so far, but a few additions would improve it further:
Dark mode that honors the device setting to switch in time or stay dark.
Setting to always start the app in the weather station device view, vs the forecast view.
Always show “feels like” beside the temp on the station view. Currently starts out with dew point, then switches to fells like at some point. Many of us are most interested in “feels like”, and that is the primary reason I launch the app before going outside. If “feels like” is not yet calculated, show a “-“ vs dew pt, so we know it is still calculating.
Calculate “feels like” better. My acurite station display seems to do a better job of taking temp, wind, humidity, etc into account. I took a screenshot last night that Tempest showed 43.2 degrees F, 38% humidity, 63 mph wind, and showed “feels like” 32 degrees... not even close!
Allow settings to show larger primary info (temp, hum, wind, feels like) for permanent display on wall mounted old phone or tablet.
I love the new wind display meter, bar graph style. Very effective display. Keep up the great work! Love the weather station!Show lessAlan Volt
Great System
So far I have been extremely pleased with the simplicity and accuracy of the Tempest system. It is extremely sensitive to changes in wind speed and direction. One advantage over conventional wind instrumentation is it continues to work during an ice storm which I just experienced. Also I got to see how the rain gauge would respond to freezing rain. It underestimated the freezing rain where for regular rainfall it can be up to 20% on the high side. In summary Tempest is extremely accurate with the exception of measuring rainfall and it could potentially be adjusted with a fudge factor.Show lessfrustrated weather person
They hit this one out of the park to the next time zone!!!
So many times reviews of new tech hardware/software say "easy to set up". And then the opposite is true unless you have an advanced degree in engineering or similar... Not so with the Tempest... WOW !! Setup was done in about 5 minutes flawlessy the first time... It took me more time to mount it on the house, where I wanted it then the set-up of the unit. And so far I could not be happier. It was transmitting data within minutes, and has now been through a couple of nasty storms etc., and running like clockwork. A big tip of the hat on the development of the Tempest. In many ways they underpromise and over deliver... Just an excellent product... Mic drop....Show lessThe Very Original Buzz
