Does anyone else have this issue? Its a daily thing for me since I live very close to a large Air Force Base. Its not really a big issue, its just annoying since I get a notification on my phone each time it happens. Thats my only complaint so far about the Tempest, but aside from that its a very good weather station.
It IS one of the downsides…
I too live near a large AF base and sometimes the F35’s set off triggers… Only cure is to let the CL work it’s magic and hopefully weed out those errors…
On one pass at this year’s local air show, the USAF Thunderbirds managed to finally trigger a false rain event. Going back to the earliest Sky devices, no other performers or regular airport commercial/military traffic has ever triggered false rain that I have noticed. This includes the Blue Angels, Thunderbirds, RAF Red Arrows, F-22/F-35 demo teams, and regular cargo, passenger, and C-5/C-17 traffic.

It is also worth mentioning that WF’s Florida office is located right next to Daytona International Speedway and the Daytona Airport. I keep peeking at their public rooftop test units during bike week and the Daytona 500 every year, and have not noticed any false rain from 10,000 open-header Harleys or 43 screaming NASCAR engines…
