Good news for owners of the Tempest Weather System by WeatherFlow-Tempest, Inc. Now you can have a locally displayed console specifically designed to display your weather observations and hyper-local forecasts on a single screen in real-time. You can also get daily and hour-by-hour forecasts for up to 10 days. Choose from different "Main"view displays that offer numerous ways to view your weather observations. Easily view all the relevant data necessary to keep tabs on conditions such as temperature, humidity, wind speed, wind gusts, daily rain, rain storm totals, rain rate, and sky conditions such as UV, LUX and solar radiation. It also displays sunrise and sunset. Or you can choose the alternate display with just the basics enlarged for easy viewing from a distance. The "Storm" view displays all the above items except sky conditions. In its place, Teapot for Tempest displays a live weather radar map for your location. It updates automatically so no user intervention is necessary. Whenever you are expecting a storm, all you need to do is tap the 'Storm View" icon, and everything you need to see will be right there. The "Forecast" view displays detailed hyper-local forecasts for up to 7 days as well as hour-by-hour forecasts for the same periods. Installation and setup takes less than 5 minutes and your weather readings will be immediately streamed to your device in real time wherever you are. Your weather data stays private. Only devices you approve can look at your data. Teapot for Tempest offers Nearcast compatibility as well as a unique rainfall calibration function that helps to improve your rainfall display accuracy. By using another weather station or simple rain gauge as a comparison, you can adjust your rainfall readings to an actual "known accurate" rain collector. This will greatly improve your rainfall reading accuracy. It uses a simple slider to adjust plus or minus percentages that is non-destructive. It only modifies the displayed reading, and leaved the underlying raw data in its original state. Teapot also allows you to select light or dark modes overriding your system settings, or you can choose to follow your system settings. Teapot for Tempest uses its own weather radar map using Apple Maps and radar data from RainViewer. You're not limited to our map however. We have provided a mechanism to allow any embeddable map you may prefer. Several weather providers offer embedded maps for personal use. To embed an alternative weather radar map, all you need is the URL from the provider. And, if you need any help, we're happy to assist you. Teapot for Tempest is available in the Apple App Store Subscription is required. Annual Subscription is $9.99 US billed annually. Monthly Subscription is $0.99 per month, billed monthly.
