Tempest Weather
Tempest configures a separate home weather sensor and displays its readings, history, and alerts.
Consider it if you own the Tempest hardware and want to see local conditions from your station.
The app combines sensor observations with historical charts and optional smart-home links.
Keep in mind: It requires the separately sold sensor and setup. Use official warning services for emergencies.
