Boreal 354 Posted January 7 Report Share Posted January 7 Tempest arrived today! Temporarily set on top of the pergola—a little higher than where it will be permanently. public link: https://tempestwx.com/station/38556/ Now for 7 days of dry, uneventful WX to break it in. 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chubbs 4,227 Posted January 7 Report Share Posted January 7 On the 3rd, collected 0.37 in the gauge. Tempest originally had 0.40, but has now been updated to 0.35. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

JSchwake28 64 Posted January 16 Report Share Posted January 16 Got my first lightning notification just now. Said lightning detected between 19 & 21 miles away. Checked it against RadarScope detection, and it was 20 miles away. Pretty impressive. Overall I think it’s a great device for its price and simple design, with the obvious caveat of the rain gauge. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Rain reporting can be VERY accurate, with proper recalibration, as mentioned ad nauseam‼️ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Parsley 6,141 Posted January 26 Report Share Posted January 26 Doing real well today. Briefly peaked at 32.2, otherwise at or below freezing all day with elevated surfaces/landscape with a glaze of ice 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
snowwors2 515 Posted January 27 Report Share Posted January 27 LOLOL... Just came here to post exactly what you observed with your device! Mine peaked at 32.4° at which point my bird feeder squirrel shield started dripping for the first and only time all day... She passed the temperature test with flying colors for sure‼️ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chubbs 4,227 Posted January 27 Report Share Posted January 27 Mine was good also - but on the melting side, above 32.5 was too warm for ice except for cold surfaces 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chubbs 4,227 Posted January 31 Report Share Posted January 31 I hear "you didn't tell me it was going to rain/snow/wintry mix today" too often, my only complaint 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
