Description
New, supports iCloud sync to easily setup multiple devices,
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 7 days.
The "Home"view displays 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.

Ratings and Reviews
Disaster
Just installed a Tempest and this app crashes within a fraction of a second of clicking on anything within the app. Deleted and reinstalled and it’s still doing the same thing. It simply doesn’t work (iPad Pro on iOS 17.2). If it’s fixed and I am able to use the app, I will revise my rating and review.
UPDATE: The latest version has resolved my issue of immediate crashes, and it has a very nice display of graphics. However, clicking the Forecast button yields a blank page. I’ve tried to switch the settings for the number of days forecast and that doesn’t fix it. The app is definitely moving in the right direction.
Developer Response ,
Did you ever report this to tech support? This would be highly unusual and we have no record of anyone reporting a crash that wasn't resolved.
Nice app
This app looks great and is a big upgrade from the standard Tempest app. We have it on an old 1st gen 12.9” iPad, now serving as a dedicated display in our kitchen. The bright colors, large fonts, and organized screen layout makes getting a quick read on the current weather easy. The setup was quick and the connection worked the first time, but you’ll need to actually read and follow the directions. I’d love to see some documentation showing what the various numbers mean. I can guess which is the “feels like” temp but I’d like to know for sure what each number means. I’d also like history and stats. This is a great start but since I’m paying for a subscription (worth it already) I’m hoping some of these additional features will eventually be added.
Excellent Tempest Console
I was looking for a Tempest Weather screen for my iPad, and came across this Teapot (great naming, btw!). I had a couple of glitches with the station ID not being recognized, so I left it a day, deleted all API keys, rest from scratch and it worked today.
Overall - I think the display is cool. I favor a tech-heavy console with lots of data. I would like more documentation on what the multiple rows of data are for e.g. temp, humidity, but I hope the app author will read this and add more details to the app posting.
Things I would like? Graphing and trending. Historical data replay. More details on the battery status and charge / discharge per day, to correlate good UV with positive charge. I’d also like to see what *every* stat would look like on the screen!
But - GREAT JOB with this app so far, and well worth the subscription. Kudos!
