The WeatherFlow Tempest is a station Iโve been watching for years. The station first debuted on Indiegogo in late 2016 (no, thatโs not a typo) and looked like nothing else on the market.
There are many choices regarding home weather stations, especially for budget models. But with these cheap weather stations come compromises, and thatโs why I was skeptical of Ambient Weatherโs claims about the WS-2902.
Kestrel makes incredible weather meters. But can it make a great home weather station? We have our answer, and itโs the KestrelMet 6000.
Iโm somewhat biased: Iโve had my Davis Vantage Vue wireless weather station installed in my backyard since September 2016. But as a result, I can provide you with a long-term review with many more positives than negatives.
Ambient Weatherโs weather stations have become what I expect to see in mid-range models. The company all but defined the budget end of the spectrum with the WS-2902 series, which performed almost as well as the Davis Vantage Vue โ and offered best-in-class smart home connectivity. I couldnโt wait to test the Ambient Weather WS-5000 out for myself.
You might call the Davis Instruments Vantage Pro2 the โgranddaddyโ of personal weather stations. This model has been around for the better part of two decades: I owned a first-generation Vantage Pro in the mid-2000s. It was the best weather station I ever owned and was worth every penny of the $500 I spent on it at the time.
