We’re constantly working to improve your Tempest experience. In addition to bug fixes and performance enhancements, we have added National Weather Service Watches, Warnings and Advisories to this release.
If there is an active Watch, Warning or Advisory issued by the NWS for your station or a saved location, you will now see that information on the main forecast screen. Tapping the Watch, Warning or Advisory will show you the full detailed information as provided by the NWS (U.S. only).
Out with the blue, in with the new! In addition to a sleek new color scheme and design, the AI-powered Tempest app has added a number of exciting features. These include:
- Weather Anywhere: Tempest forecasts are not just for Tempest stations anymore! You can now get a Tempest forecast for any location.
- Widgets
- Light / Dark Mode
History View Expansion
We have added weekly, monthly, yearly and all time statistics for your devices.
Better Forecast UI Improvements
We streamlined the UI so that we are not displaying the same information in multiple places. We also added sunrise and sunset data to each forecast day.
Station Dashboard
The Station Dashboard is now home to the More Current Conditions section that was previously on the Forecast view. This puts all of your detailed station information in one place.

This build includes primarily bug fixes and performance enhancements. Here are a few of the bugs we squashed with this release:
- Fixed wind speed bar color issue
- Fixed app crash for Android 4 users
More Data at the top of the Main View
- The “More Current Conditions” section at the bottom of the Main View has always been a great way to see more data from your station. In this release, we are moving a few of those key values up to the Top Box on the Main View. In addition to the wind and UV values, now you can quickly see the humidity, pressure and pressure trend right when you open the app. If it is raining or there is recent lightning in your area, you will also see those data points in the Top Box as well.
Rapid Wind Updates
- Rapid Wind (wind speed & direction values reported every three seconds) is making its way to the Top Box of the Main View! In addition, the rapid wind display on the Card View has received an update to match the new rapid wind visualization on the Main View.
Additional bug fixes and minor performance enhancements are also included in this build.
Better, faster, stronger. That’s the updated Tempest Smart Weather app in a nutshell. Here are the specifics:
- A New Look: We’ve updated the design of the app, including transitioning all branding from Smart Weather to Tempest.
- A Better Forecast: WeatherFlow’s AI forecast system uses the best available models & our own in-house modeling suite. Leveraging your station data and
powerful machine learning techniques, we’re able to guarantee a scary accurate forecast that only gets better over time.
