However, if the icon displayed is a sun or raining cloud, there will be no change of icon if the weather gets any better (with sunny icon) or worse (with rainy icon) since the icons are already at their extremes.

  • Page 31: Weather Tendency Indicator

    In areas that experience sudden changes in weather (for example from sunny to rain), the Weather Station will be more accurate compared to use in areas where the weather is stagnant most of the time (for example mostly sunny).

  • Page 32: Air Pressure History (Electronic Barometer With Barometric Pressure Trend)

    Note: Once the weather tendency indicator has registered a change in air pressure, it will remain permanently visualized on the LCD. AIR PRESSURE HISTORY (ELECTRONIC BAROMETER WITH BAROMETRIC PRESSURE TREND) The third section of the LCD also shows the relative air pressure value and the air pressure history. Air pressure over the last 12 hours The bar chart indicates the air pressure history trend over the last 12 hours in 5 steps, 0h, -3h, -6h, -9h, and -12h.

  • Page 33: Outdoor Temperature

    Note: For accurate barometric pressure trends, the Weather Station should operate at the same altitude for example, it should not be moved from the ground to the second floor of the house. Should the unit be moved to a new location, discard readings for the next 12-24 hours.
