Has anyone bought or considered buying one of these Tempest Weather Stations?

I noticed it back when they were doing a Kickstarter campaign but didn't pull the trigger. Looks like a really sleek, smart setup.
There is a worldwide map of all the stations with access to live data. There are quite a few already in the lower mainland:

First I've heard about this one, but it looks pretty interesting. I'd be a bit skeptical of the rainfall accuracy, but you could have a backup manual gauge for that. I would also question how robust the radiation shield is.

Re: Tempest Weather Station
Sure looks cool!
That map is fake. Those are not all those stations for sure. That data is being shared or lifted from other products.

Re: Tempest Weather Station
This does look cool. I’m in the market for a weather station at the moment.

If you're looking for good quality and accuracy -> Davis Vantage Pro 2.

Re: Tempest Weather Station
BTW, yup, my fan is bad. It's ridiculous that it costs 100 dollar for a new fan that you can probably buy for $5 without the housing! I've read that others have solved this issue by siliconing in a $5 fan into the housing, and it worked. I'm considering just hard-wiring in a fan that skips he batteries and solar panel since i already have power at my station.Abby_wx wrote: ↑Wed Jan 27, 2021 7:07 pm Moving this thread to the Personal Weather Station section of the forum. https://forums.bcstorms.ca/viewforum.php?f=191

Re: Tempest Weather Station
Yup, that's what I did. Removing the old one is a PITA, but otherwise fairly simple.

Re: Tempest Weather Station
