About Tempest Weather Radar Free

Tempest weather radar displays real-time NEXRAD (Next-Generation Radar) and TDWR (Terminal Doppler Weather Radar) animated storm radar images overlaid on top of Google maps.

Weather radar data is refreshed every 6 minutes. Although the default user settings are appropriate for most users, some users like to configure optimal settings for their area and personal taste. Tempest weather radar allows users to change the number of frames per animation, cloud transparency, radar type and range of both NEXRAD and TDWR radars. Storm tracking, ground clutter elimination, image smoothing and rain/snow options can also be controlled. Since the familiar Google Maps is used, the user can enable Satellite View and Traffic View if desired.

NEXRAD radar parameters include:
Base Reflectivity N0R
Base Reflectivity N1R
Base Reflectivity N2R
Base Reflectivity N3R

Although initially designed as a weather radar only solution, Tempest weather radar can retrieve current local weather conditions, 10 day forecast and hourly forecast data by tapping on the red location icon. Alternatively, "long pressing" on a map location will bring up the weather forecast of that location.

Currently, Tempest weather radar overlay data is available only for the USA and the bordering regions of Canada and Mexico. Also, Tempest weather radar is currently only available on the android platform.

Thanks for trying Tempest Weather Radar. We hope you enjoy it!

This program is under active development.

I really like this app, it shows the best radar imagery of any including paid apps! Would love a widget and time stamping, other then that it has everything I've been looking for. Thanks for your hard work and please keep going!

It once was of the best weather apps on the Play Store. Now one of many abandoned apps that litter the Play Store. True story: I pointed out a glitch in the app probably over a year ago (last update was over 1 1/2 yrs ago) and they can't even bother to fix it. So word to the wise: Don't expect anything to change or get fixed ever judging by the current state of affairs. Nov 27th/ 2016: Still abandoned.

B70%
by B####:

This app used to be great. I paid extra to get individual storm information and tracking. Air providing this info but never refined my money. RIPOFF!

T70%
by T####:

Love this app other than you can't share it nor do you have any settings for alerts. "I uninstalled it and reinstalled it and it still won't let me share it"

R70%
by R####:

Have always loved this app, but storm icons have recently disappeared and I cannot get any support . Without the icons, it's just another radar.

I70%
by I####:

I'm having problems with the radar.It doesn't show all of the storm tracks. It's not on the map except the yellow circle ones that indicate thunderstorms please respond. How come this app is not working right?

X70%
by X####:

Ir it not only had the rain and with its winds.... But the see level and other stuff. Or make a similar app that has see level and waves, and wind

Why isnt is it showing the direction of the storms anymore with the triangles it used to now it sucks!!!!

S70%
by S####:

One of the best weather apps on the Play Store. Bonus that its free! I like the way you covered off the radar plus added in the weather forecast in the same app. Very easy to use (intuitive) plus I like that the forecast screen has a dark background - kinda "Holo" like but that's a good thing. Keep up the good work.

Not currently showing the color weather graphics like it always does. Tried uninstall and reinstall but same. Galaxy S5.

Jan 2015 was the last update, and why I asked.

Wanted a fast radar app for viewing cloud cover. This is it. Thanks

There needs to be a way to stop a looping especially when in velocity mode

D70%

Gives you many choices to customize your viewing of conditions.

I can't find it on iphone..would like to have it on iPhone also..

One of the best weather apps I've used. I enjoy cycling/hiking an used WU before but this is my go to app. Thanks for the great work.

H70%
by H####:

Great app, a couple of additions I would love to see. Time stamps of the radar data that way you can tell how old the radar image is and when the next image will be there. The ability to pause the loops on any frame for detailed viewing would be great. Also the ability to see radar stations locations and to be able isolate their products for comparison viewing.

Y70%
by Y####:

We had severe weather last night and your app was accurate with the storm tracks. Best app for accurate and up to the minute weather..love it.. Thank you for your time and dedication to this app.

Y70%
by Y####:

Excellent color of cloud layering, the highest level of the thunder head, indicates, the more severity of the storms. So eloquent job well done and better yet, your preciseness in sharp and crisp detailing. Thanks!

Y70%
by Y####:

I updated the app as requested, now it won't open for me at all! Basically this app is just wasting space on my phone. This needs to be corrected ASAP.

Y70%
by Y####:

Using Google maps is good but without a time stamp on radar data leaves much to be desired. Not knowing time frame of radar data is bad as all competitive apps do. Example: raining right now with no "blobs" showing on map within 30/40 miles!

X70%
by X####:

But the hourly forecast at night shows suns instead of moons. Can that be fixed? Also, how about a 48 hour hourly forecast instead of 12? Otherwise, a real solid app.

Q70%
by Q####:

App is great in all aspects. Only one problem both my wife and I encounter on 2 different brand devices... When you tilt the screen and the phone refreshes the radar, it frequently sends you to 0 latitude. 0 longitude, then you have to click on the location icon to send the map back to your location. Please fix this and I'll get Pro.

R70%
by R####:

Need to add share button but it's still great

J70%
by J####:

It's just like many of the other terrible weather forecast apps flooding the Play Store. Nothing unique or intuitive about it. If it had the time listed on the screen so you could actually determine where the clouds or rain was going to be at a certain time it would actually be useful. Also, it desperately needs forecasts above city names.
