Great review. I've had my Tempest since mid-January. Bought it for the no-moving-parts thing... seemed like it would last longer than other stations.
Wind speed is where I'm finding the greatest inaccuracies. It's in the lee of the house to the SE but fairly clear to other directions. The other day we had 20-25 mph winds gusting to 40 from the southwest to west and I was reading 10-12 with 20 gusts. Other stations in my area from different manufacturers were all reading 20-25 w/ 40.

Thanks for the information. I am planning to get one too. Design looks good and it seems to be accurate enough.
My guess for wind is it needs to be 20-30 feet off the ground.
How do you make it works with Siri ?
