The Tempest Weather System looks and is quite different from the competition. It’s one of the best-looking home weather station displays available, and it can even show data from any additional sensors you add to the system.ĭisplay Type: High-definition TFT LCD | Sensors: Temperature, humidity, wind speed, wind direction, rainfall, UV and solar radiation | Transmission Interval: 16 seconds | Transmission Range: 300 feet | Connectivity: Wi-Fi, Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, IFTTT, numerous weather services You can save some money by going with that unit instead, but then you miss out on the fantastic high-definition display that comes with the WS-2000. The only real downside to the WS-2000 is that it uses the same sensor array as the less expensive Ambient Weather WS-2902C, which is our pick for best value. The sensor array has a built-in solar panel that charges a supercapacitor to keep it running at night, and you can also install optional backup batteries just in case. It includes sensors for temperature and humidity, wind speed and direction, UV and solar radiation, and rainfall. This weather station comes with Ambient’s innovative osprey sensor array, which combines all of the main sensors into a single unit that’s easy to set up and install. This station is easy to set up and use for those who have never had a home weather station before, but it’s also quite accurate and highly customizable, which is why it’s our best overall home weather station. The Ambient Weather WS-2000 comes with a full suite of highly accurate sensors, the option to add additional sensors if your needs change over time, and one of the best display consoles available.

Same sensor suite as the less expensive WS-2902C The Spruce Home Improvement Review Board.
