WeatherFlow Tempest Weather Station — Wireless Solar Outdoor Sensor, Wind & Rain Monitoring, App & Alexa

The WeatherFlow Tempest is an all-in-one wireless weather station that measures wind, rain, temperature, humidity, pressure and more to deliver hyper-local forecasts and real-time alerts.

The Tempest Weather Station combines a compact, solar-powered outdoor sensor array with cloud services and smart-home integrations to give you continuous, backyard-level weather intelligence. Designed without moving parts, Tempest updates every few seconds and feeds precise data to the WeatherFlow app and compatible platforms like Amazon Alexa, Rachio and IFTTT. Whether you're planning weekend plans, protecting a garden, or automating irrigation, Tempest provides localized measurements and forecast insights you can act on.

How does Tempest measure wind and rain without moving parts?

Tempest uses modern sensors and signal processing to capture wind speed, wind direction and rainfall totals without traditional cups or spinning vanes. That design reduces maintenance and improves longevity in harsh conditions.

• Ultrasonic-style or solid-state sensing for wind readings that update every 3 seconds.
• Acoustic and optical detection for accurate rain accumulation and intensity.
• Built to perform in ice, dust and salt-spray environments with near-zero upkeep.

What kinds of weather does Tempest track and how often does it update?

Tempest monitors a broad set of atmospheric variables including temperature, humidity, barometric pressure, solar radiation, UV index, lightning activity, and dew point in addition to wind and rainfall. Data streams to your app every few seconds for near-real-time awareness.

• Real-time updates approximately every 3 seconds from the outdoor sensor.
• Comprehensive metrics: temp, humidity, pressure, UV, solar, lightning, and more.
• Cloud logging for historical trends and local forecast models based on your site.

Can Tempest connect with smart home devices and third-party services?

Yes — Tempest integrates with popular smart-home ecosystems and automation platforms to trigger actions based on live weather. Use those connections to automate sprinklers, alerts, lighting, or voice announcements.

• Works with Amazon Alexa for voice queries and reports.
• Compatible with Rachio, IFTTT and other automation tools for weather-driven routines.
• API and cloud access for developers and advanced integrations.

How durable and easy to install is the Tempest station?

Tempest is engineered for long-term outdoor use: the sensor is solar-powered, sealed against the elements, and built without fragile moving parts so routine maintenance is minimal. Setup takes minutes using the WeatherFlow app and a standard mount.

• Solar-powered sensor with wireless transmission up to 1,000+ feet.
• Rugged weatherproof housing rated for extended outdoor exposure.
• Quick app-guided installation and reliable wireless pairing.

Who is this for? WeatherFlow Tempest is ideal for homeowners, gardeners, outdoor event planners, small farms, and hobby meteorologists who want precise, site-specific weather data without the upkeep of traditional mechanical gauges. It also suits smart-home enthusiasts who want automated irrigation, weather-triggered alerts, or voice-accessible local forecasts. If you need consistent, high-frequency readings and integrations with Alexa, Rachio or IFTTT, Tempest delivers a low-maintenance, professional-grade solution for everyday weather decisions.
