Overview

A solar-powered, solid-state weather station with no moving parts, installed in minutes. It measures temperature, humidity, dew point, wind speed, direction and gusts, rain onset, intensity and accumulation, barometric pressure, UV and solar radiation, and lightning with strike distance up to 25 miles.

This is a private station. Readings sync to your Lake Pulse account and are available to you in the Analytics Hub under Trends, for recent values and historical trends alongside your water-quality record. They are not shared with your lake community.

Supplied by Tempest. Licensed for personal, non-commercial use. Buy it, set it up on Wi-Fi, and it runs, with no separate data or forecasting fee. Associations, HOAs, businesses, and government bodies that want a station the whole lake can see should choose the Lakewide Weather Station.

What problem does this solve for our lake?

The weather most people rely on is not local. Forecasts and apps run largely on stations sited at regional airports, miles and a microclimate away from your water.
Lake conditions are driven by weather. Wind and solar radiation set up stratification and bloom conditions. Rainfall drives nutrient loading. Wind, gusts, and lightning distance decide whether it is safe to be on the water.
A station at your shoreline replaces a regional approximation with a measurement of the conditions you actually live with, and puts it next to your own water-quality data.

What's included?

Weather station sensor: solar powered, solid-state, no moving parts
Wi-Fi hub
Flat base and pole mount for post, dock, or piling installation
Sync to your Lake Pulse account, with readings in the Analytics Hub under Trends
Lifetime data access and forecasting, with no separate fee
Manufacturer's 2-year warranty

What's not included

Sharing with your lake community. Readings are visible only on your account.
Organizational, commercial, or shared use. The manufacturer's license covers personal use only; commercial use voids the warranty.
Installation and the mounting structure
Wi-Fi. An existing 2.4 GHz network is required at the site.
Cellular connectivity. Contact Lake Pulse about the cellular option.
Water quality or lake level of any kind. This measures the atmosphere.
Regulatory or compliance-grade meteorological monitoring
Treatment, remediation, or applicator services

Requirements

A mounting position with clear exposure: open to wind and sky, away from buildings, trees, and roof heat
4 GHz Wi-Fi coverage at the hub location
Personal, non-commercial use under the manufacturer's consumer terms
A Plus, Lake Admin, or PRO subscription. Syncing a real-time device to a Lake Pulse account requires one of these tiers.
Contact the Lake Pulse Boathouse if you have questions.

What you get back

Results

Hyperlocal, real-time conditions at your shoreline, synced to your Lake Pulse account. Recent values and historical trends in the Analytics Hub under Trends, plotted alongside your water-quality data. Live wind, gust, and lightning-distance readings for on-water decisions. Readings are private to your account and are not shared with your lake community.

Pro tips

Siting decides the data quality. A station on a roof, beside a wall, or under a tree measures the building, not the lake.
Check your Wi-Fi reach before you order. Shoreline coverage rarely extends as far as people expect, and a station at the end of a dock is often just outside it.
Mount it high and clear of the treeline. Wind is the measurement most degraded by obstruction, and it is the one that matters most for mixing.
Wind and solar radiation are the two channels to watch for lake health. They set up stratification and bloom conditions.
If your lake community later wants a shared station, the Lakewide Weather Station is the licensed path. This station cannot be converted.

About these results

Every reading is time-stamped as it is recorded. Readings come from one sensor at one location; conditions elsewhere on the lake can differ, sometimes sharply and within hours. Sensors drift, foul, and occasionally fail, and readings between maintenance visits may be affected. Gaps in the record are shown as gaps, never filled in. Sensor values are field measurements, not laboratory analyses. Alerts are notifications of a reading, not a safety determination.

Results can help you make decisions about safe swimming and water use, but no result is definitive for every place and time. It is always good practice to check posted signs and your state or local health authorities.
