I created a Shortcut action to quickly check the weather at a variety of Tempest locations around the world. I have a ‘Choose from Menu’ action that allows me to select from about 20 Tempest locations that I’ve set up URL links to. [Click here to import the Shortcut example](https://www.icloud.com/shortcuts/7e4f35159dad4436893afbc288d0e558) and customize how you like. I only left a few options in this draft version, but you can always add additional. I also have the Shortcuts widget showing so I can quickly click the Shortcut and choose a location; optionally, you could add the Shortcut directly to your home screen. Bonus: Rename the shortcut then say “Hey Siri, \< name of shortcut \>” ---

This is neat! Do you know if it’s possible to get historical data for a date? I’d love to add these values to a Numbers spreadsheet, but it looks like this basic API only provides access to the current observations; I need yesterday’s. ---

There is a WF IFTTT action (“Log Tempest data to Google Sheets”) that will automatically log data to a Google sheet every minute. You could set that up and then transfer the data to Numbers. ---
