Filed Under: Site News

The WeatherFlow Tempest is one of the most commonly searched-for weather stations here on The Weather Station Experts. There’s a good reason for it: it is one of the best smart home-capable weather stations available. What if we told you that you could win one simply by being a fan of TWSE? Well, try your luck in our WeatherFlow Tempest Giveaway!

The folks at WeatherFlow have been kind enough to offer one TWSE reader the opportunity to win a Tempest (a $340 value), and it’s extremely easy to enter. The contest starts today and runs through October 9. We’ll announce the winner via our newsletter as soon as we reach and confirm a winner.

If you’re subscribed to our newsletter, you actually already have a quarter of the requirements satisfied! Here are the requirements:

  • Only subscribers of TWSE’s newsletter are eligible. If you’re not, no worries: you can subscribe using the form below.
  • You must either have liked or liked the official WeatherFlow-Tempest page on Facebook.
  • You must either have liked or liked The Weather Station Experts on Facebook.
  • You must share the contest on one social media network of your choice (but more we won’t complain about! :)). We will not ask for proof at the time of entry, but you’ll have to have a live link for verification to claim your prize.

If you’re not a mailing list subscriber, use the form below:

The winner will be picked at random from the newsletter mailing list. We will then check for the three requirements, and the first random pick to satisfy them will win the Tempest. But that’s not all — you can “upgrade” your prize by fulfilling at least one of the below, which adds the official mount (a $30 value) to the prize package:y

You only need to fulfill one of the above to be eligible. All requirements must be met before the contest ends on October 9.

(Please note that the form might take a second or two to load at first!)

How to enter

In order for it to make it easier for us to determine a winner, we’ve set up a short form for you to use. The amount of information will depend on how you use social media. If you use a different profile name, we’ll need to know that in order to verify your eligibility. The form will ask you a few questions, and based on your answers will request additional information if necessary. It will also allow you to subscribe to the newsletter right from the form, so even if you’re not a subscriber now, you can still enter.

How is this information stored and/or retained?

Any information you provide will be through a secure form that is encrypted to prevent data disclosure. TWSE and Oz Media will only retain the above information through the successful end of the contest drawing and verification of a winner. All information on the form that you did not provide to us elsewhere (i.e. name, e-mail address) will be permanently deleted.

As with any contest, there’s some legal stuff we must get out of the way. Please read the terms and conditions below.
