Weather Icons
There are 3 possible weather icons that will be displayed in the LCD 2:
Sunny—indicates that the weather is expected to improve (not that the weather will be sunny).
Sun with Clouds—indicates that the weather is expected to be fair (not that the weather will be sunny
with clouds).
Clouds with Rain—indicates that the weather is expected to get worse (not that the weather will be
rainy).
The weather icons change when the unit detects a change in air pressure. The icons change in order,
from "sunny" to "partly sunny" to "cloudy" or the reverse. It will not change from "sunny" directly to
"rainy", although it is possible for the change to occur quickly. If the symbols do not change then the
weather has not changed, or the change has been slow and gradual.
Weather Tendency Arrows
Other possible displays in LCD 2 are 2 weather tendency arrows, one that points up (on the left side
of the forecast) and one that points down (on the right side of the forecast). These arrows reflect
current changes in the air pressure. An arrow pointing up indicates that the air pressure is increasing
and the weather is expected to improve or remain good. An arrow pointing down indicates that the
air pressure is decreasing and the weather is expected to become worse or remain poor. No arrow
means the pressure is stable.
