Upgrades are done bu Weatherflow remotely. Most are for the hub (old and new ones)
Tempest (the device) can also be updated if linked to the newest hub but those are not frequent.
Is it very complicated to set the Tempest up for Wunderground? One of my reasons for purchasing the Tempest was to have it as a WU site as there are only a couple from my area. So far Iām the only Tempest in the Lewiston Id/Clarkston Wa area,a combined population of around 45k. Mounted it yesterday and very pleased on how well everything went and worked!
I really appreciate all the info that everyone is putting up as it really helps a newbie like myself.
How do I link my station to Weather Underground?
To send your weather station data to WU, create a WU PWS and gather your PWS ID and Station key. Then login to your account on the web app: https://tempestwx.com/ and go to settings > stations > choose your station > public data > Weather Underground and enter your WU PWS station ID and key. Wait at least 30 minutes to an hour before WU starts publishing your data. This process could take longer depending on WU issues.

Thank you very much! Worked like a charm with no problems at all. Was available in about 20 mins maybe sooner. I really appreciate your walk through which saved me a bunch of time
& hassle not having to sort through everything to find what I actually needed.

Reading through the posts has been very helpful to me! I received my Tempest last night and plan to install it 50 feet up on a tower, that is 30 feet above my roof. Iāll wait for cooler weather to do it though!
I have a question that I havenāt seen addressed: When I read the web links to other Tempest stations in my area, some have more or different parameters displayed than their neighbors. Iāve figured out how to adjust the ORDER of parameters, but not to specify WHICH parameters are displayed. Can anyone point me to some directions on how to do this?

I donāt think you can. except for the forecast and the battery level.
Hello. Just out of curiosity. What day did u order your Tempest and what was your order number
Hi, Jim.
Weāre neighbors. Iām just a little sw of Kipling and Bowles. I remember when I was the only station in the area. Itās good to see so many stations now.
You can only view what the station owner has set up for his station and in the metrics the owner selected. Let me know if you have more questions.
Thanks, CaredLands! I ordered mine on 8 June, on order number 8666. Ummmā¦ thatās kind of Devilish, eh?

Youāre one of the stations (S.Miller Ct.) that Iāve been watching for a couple of months now. Great to meet you, Gary! Iām Jim Flannery at 8098 S. Carr Ct. I should have my Tempest up on my Ham Radio Tower at the 45 foot level in a few days if youāre passing by. Iām just waiting for COOLER weather and light winds.
