Rainfall Rate on the Current Conditions
Can y’all add the rainfall rate instead of the day before’s rainfall
So instead of it showing yesterday’s rainfall it would show the running rainfall rate like: 2.50 in/hr, so that I don’t have to go to the chart to look at the rainfall rate from a few minutes past. What I’m trying to say is keep the rainfall rate more current.
For the wind speed, could y’all update the graphing system because it doesn’t want to show all of the current wind speed and direction, it just shows the one minute average of the recorded wind speeds and plots them under one minute’s speed like for example, at 1:00PM the wind “speed” was 10 mph where there was more wind and less wind than that.
Next, the lightning detection feels and seems off, where it’ll record 5+ strikes in a second or two and then it’ll not be there and it’ll say the last strike was either 1-2 minutes ago.
Lastly, the radar map will not let me zoom all the way in to my house, if I would try to do this it would push me back about 2-4 miles away, or in other words it would show the rain or snow for another place when I want to zoom into my house close up to see what the conditions are. Could y’all add a feature where it would show the next 1-3 hours radar instead of the previous 1-2 hours, so it would feel like a true past/future-cast. And add a hurricane track where we can see where a hurricane is going to hit.
So on the next possible update y’all should focus on these things by making the system better and more user friendly. All in all it’s a great system, but with a few things/bugs to be updated. That’s why I am giving 4/5 stars.

Poor Design
The station data is at the top of the screen and the rest of the screen is the forecast that goes out a ridiculous number of days.…. Plus there are 5 days of old forecasts left on the screen. Why? It’s not bad to see the forecast, but it’s not optional - so you can’t remove it from the screen. …. and makes the screen too busy and cluttered for my personal taste. Other issue is that it does not denote times of peak data…. max wind…. high temp - and it doesn’t give you a start/end time for rain. To be fair there is a graph where you can attempt to obtain the data- but would be great to have that data at a glance. One final issue…. When I tap on one of the individual data points on main screen…. it brings up another page with all the data and not just what you tap. The wind data on that page is a smaller lighter font than the Pressure and it’s easy for my eye to not see the decimal point on the wind data- for example- it’s easy to mistake a wind speed of 2.2 mph for 22 mph.
I would like to click on a data point where all data for that data point is readily available on one screen …. along with time of the event peaks.
I don’t expect you to redo your app for me, 😉
Just some food for thought next time you do a revamp.

Good app needs temperature alerts
This is a nicely designed app with a good user interface. Given that many people purchase a weather station to monitor temperatures, it seems like a big deficit to not have the ability to set high or low temperature alert alerts through the app.
Bad WiFi
I have over 50 devices on my home network that connected to my WiFi the first time but not the Tempest Weather Station. I have extenders in several locations so signal strength is not an issue. I followed all their troubleshooting recommendations with no luck. So at this point I will be returning it.

Worst forecasting
Still can’t believe there is no Apple HomeKit integration. Ifttt is $$$ now.
Also, the forecasts are never correct. It’s going to rain in 30 min. Nope now it’ll rain in 45 min. Nope… I give up on this app and hardware.
