Please add timestamps to the daily history values indicating when those maximum and minimum values occurred.
Yes, I would like to request this feature too. I like the updated app v4.19 on iOS and the history for day, week, month, year, but it would be great if the time of day for maximums and minimums occurance on the daily metrics was listed. There appears to be room below the values to put the time of occurrence.
Count me for this request as well!
As stated in the title, when I am looking at history dates on the app, it would be very helpful to see what time the high temperature and/or low temperature occurred. It could simply be put in smaller text below the actual High/Low temperature. The same should also be done for the humidity numbers.

Moved your post to the feature section to open voting for it.
If you have votes left use it wisely

I would like to see the time of the Min/Max on the history page
Merged both request since they basically ask for the same thing, just general versus temp only
How come the time stamps have not been added to the daily history yet? There is certainly room under the values on the history screen to add the time of day.

Hello,
im very happy with my new Tempest weater station. Finaly i have a place for all my weather concerns.
But i am wondering, if there is a way so see Historical data from the same day (30.11. in example):
Like the coldest/hottest day for that date and when it has been
The min / max air pressure for that date and when it has been
The most / least Lightnings for that date and when it has been
The calmes and windiest day for that date and when it has been
The Brigtest / darkest dayfor that date and when it has been
Of course i need to have record of some years,for it to work.
But will it work to show me these data and when they were collected?
Thank You

It would be really good to have the time stamp on the “Day” History page so that you can see exactly when it was coldest/hottest part of the day.
I would have thought this would be quite simple to add.

I concur with the request for adding timestamps for the max/min temperature. Would also request it for peak wind gust. The time of the peak wind gust is helpful when reporting the information to the National Weather Service for local storm reports. Also, for using during weather segments on television stations.

I’ve been asking for that same feature for about two years now.
As Have I. That’s why I decided to get " wfpiconsole " because it puts the timestamps on for High and Low Temp. . .as well as Barometer. . .for Each and Every Day!
I would also like this enhancement added to the daily min/max values for all observations that it would be logical to do so.
Hi everyone …Brand new to the Tempest world.
I would also like to see this Hi/Low with timestamp feature added to the Tempest Data provided. Would be VERY USEFUL for what I do with my data. Thanks.

I’ve been asking (begging / pleading) for that to happen since early 2020. . .it AIN’T happened yet. And as a forecaster. . .I predict is will Never happen! And as we can observe on the History tab for the for the daily High and Low Temperatures. . .there are NO times pinned underneath for the daily High and Low Temperatures. 'Bout all you can do. . .is to go into the Temperature / Wind etc graphs for each day. . .and HUNT Down the Time of Occurrence for the Highs & Lows! I’ve been doing just that since early January 2020. IF the times of the Highs & Lows were pinned underneath in light gray color (like the dates are for Week Month Year and All Time). . .that surely would make my job at weather record-keeping MUCH simpler! But for now. . .and the FUTURE. . . be prepared to Hunt Down (using the graphs) for the times of the Highs. . .Lows. . .Max Wind Gusts. . .etc.

Really a bit ridiculous when every other weather station software/app or via web site station data will show the time stamps on max and min temperature for the day,

Like when we were “Field Testing” the Early Release beta pre-production devices (Tempest + HUB) and the initial App. . .“they” [WF] wanted our input on How to improve and make Tempest° (both hardware & software [App]. . .the best that it could be at that time. I remember suggesting the following. . . “why don’t you put the times on the App that the High and Low Temperatures occurred. . .and also do that with the time for the Highest Wind Gust?” It fell on DEAF Ears! NOTHING ever became of that. I begged for it by opening Numerous Support Requests for that feature to be added since early 2020. . .the year Tempest° got launched and production units became available on retail. Still Nothing.
I have been using a competitor of WeatherFlow | Tempest° since December 2011.
They’ve been putting on the times for at least the last 13 years that I’ve been using the competitor’s program. “I’m a meteorologist, not a programmer or engineer”. . .but it would seem to me that adding times of occurrences. . .esp High & Low Temperatures etc can’t be that difficult.

As someone who would starve to death trying to earn a paycheck as a programmer, I suspect that the SQL queries behind the scenes to find these ever-changing values for 100,000+ stations is cost-prohibitive. There’s an info box somewhere in the app that mentions the cost of calculating what some would consider “simple” derived metrics is the reason why they are only available to the station owner and not the public.
The WF-T app is intended for the average consumer. If you want more, they freely make the API documents available at the top of each forum page and even have a forum section for third-party programs/programmers.
I personally rarely open the app except as a convenience, and use WeeWX with the Belchertown skin as my go-to PWS display because it does just about everything…
Hi storm_tracker. I’m not a pro like yourself, but I have been keeping weather records since 1977… so it’s been a lifelong interest and hobby for me.
I had figured out that I’d have to use the graphs to get my times which I guess is OK, but it would just make so much sense for them to add it to the app. I see that LOTS of other folks feel the same way. Maybe they’ll solve the issue (if there is one) someday. But all in all I’m very pleased with the Tempest out of the gate.
I also linked to the Weather Underground because I just want to compare the two data layouts … not sure there’s that much difference. Well like the rest of your folks I’ll keep hoping they add this MUCH NEEDED timestamp to the app.
… a HAPPY NEW YEAR to you and yours!
