Version History

v1.1.0Feb 23, 2026 - Version note by skill developer:

Add day/month/year stats support with default day mode, human-readable summaries, full stats index mapping docs, and updated tests.

What This Skill Does

Fetches current weather observations and historical statistics from a WeatherFlow Tempest personal weather station via the Tempest REST API. Supports live readings (wind, rain, lightning, temperature) and day/month/year historical summaries.

Pulls hyperlocal conditions directly from your own hardware rather than relying on regional forecast grids or the nearest public station.

When to use it

  • Check current backyard wind speed and gust readings
  • Get real-time rain accumulation from a home station
  • Review monthly precipitation totals for a past month
  • Pull lightning strike data from a personal Tempest device
  • Compare today's temperature against a historical daily summary

Example Workflow

Here's how your AI assistant might use this skill in practice.

INPUT

User asks: What are the current conditions at my Tempest station?

AGENT
  1. 1Run get_tempest_weather.py using TEMPEST_API_TOKEN and TEMPEST_DEVICE_ID from environment
  2. 2Receive JSON response with current observations including wind, rain, temperature, and humidity
  3. 3Parse observation fields using the Tempest API index mapping
  4. 4Format a short human-readable summary with timestamp and source URL
OUTPUT

Current conditions: 72°F, wind 8 mph from SW, gusts to 14 mph, humidity 55%, no recent lightning. (as of 2026-03-19T14:32:00Z)
