Black Friday is an entire week this year on Amazon, giving shoppers an unprecedented opportunity to save for an extended period of time versus just one weekend.
As you might have guessed from our name, we have tested quite a few weather stations (and own quite a few too)! So what are the best weather station deals this holiday? We’ve found a few good deals so far, and will add to this list throughout the sale!

The Best Black Friday Weather Station Deals
For the first time in at least two years, the entire Ambient Weather line is on sale for Black Friday, including a rare deal on the WS-5000!
[affiliatable id=’259195′]
At $360, the WS-5000 is at the best price it’s been all year, and if you’ve been holding off because of the $450 price tag, now’s the time to scoop the WS-5000 up. This deal likely ends at midnight Cyber Monday (Pacific Time), so don’t wait.

The Ambient Weather WS-2000 is like a mix of the best of both the WS-2902 and WS-5000 in a more affordable package. The WS-2000 uses the WS-2902’s console but opts for the WS-5000’s console, which is a significant (and worthy) upgrade. The better console allows you to add optional sensors and view them on the console screen, something the WS-2902 cannot.
The early sale on the WS-2000 knocks 20% off the price on Amazon, which is about average.

The Ambient Weather WS-2902 is also 20% off for Black Friday. This station is incredibly compact and includes all the main components of a professional weather station at a fraction of the price, with accurate readings that rival stations many times its price. Professional equipment can cost hundreds of dollars for one instrument, so this weather station is a great deal.
If you are thinking about purchasing a beginner weather station that includes the basic weather monitoring instruments already pre-calibrated, this weather station is a great option.
The Ambient Weather WS-2902 features the following:
- Integrated indoor and outdoor hygrometer/thermometer (relative humidity and temperature)
- Cup anemometer (wind speed)
- Wind vane (wind direction)
- Rain gauge
- Solar radiation and light intensity
- Barometer (barometric pressure)

If you’re a Prime member, you can grab the WS-1965 for just $109. And it has internet connectivity, too!

The WeatherFlow Tempest is also on sale, and shopping directly from WeatherFlow (which we recommend!) using promo code ‘HOLIDAYS20‘ gets this top wish listed station for just $271. The ship dates on the Tempest on Amazon do slip as we get closer to Black Friday (it’s one of their most popular selling models), so we recommend buying directly if possible (outside of the US, most places will need to use Amazon, WeatherFlow has previously told us).
The WeatherFlow Tempest connects real-time weather data to a well-designed smartphone app. The Tempest includes more precipitation metrics than the other weather stations, including rain intensity, duration, and net accumulation. It even features a lightning detector, making it a better option for areas with frequent thunderstorms and severe weather.
The Tempest weather station includes the following:
- Reports of station pressure and sea level pressure
- Pyranometer
- Rain sensor (detects rain intensity, duration, and accumulation)
- Ultrasonic wind sensor (measures wind direction and wind speed)
- Lightning detector
