1. Introduction Thank you for your purchase of the Ambient Weather WS-YG302A-Y Cherry Finish Brass Dial Traditional Weather Station. The following is a guide for preparation, care and operation of your traditional weather station. Figure 1 Note: Barometric pressure readings, under normal conditions, only fluctuate between 1-1.25 inHg per day. -

4. Hygrometer (Humidity Meter) How the hygrometer works The hygrometer measures the indoor relative humidity. The sensor measures the air moisture by a sensitive mechanical coil spring that is bonded with a moisture absorbent material. Hygrometers register the percentage of water vapor present in the air, compared to the maximum amount that can be present at a given temperature. -
Page 4: Absolute Vs. Relative Pressure
The weather forecast or pressure tendency is based on the rate of change of barometric pressure. In general, when the pressure increases, the weather improves (sunny to partly cloudy) and when the pressure decreases, the weather degrades (cloudy to rain). The weather forecast is an estimation or generalization of weather changes in the next 24 to 48 hours, and varies from location to location. -

reading is obtained. Do not turn the screw counter-clockwise (to the left) too far, since the screw can fall out. After the initial calibration, no further adjustment will be required unless the barometer is moved to a new geographic location. To determine the relative pressure for your location, locate your local “official”... -

Because the air pressure decreases as you rise in altitude, the sea-level corrected pressure (the pressure your location would be at if located at sea-level) is generally higher than your measured pressure. Thus, your pressure may read 28.62 inHg (969 mb) at an altitude of 1000 feet (305 m), but the corrected pressure is 30.00 inHg (1016 mb).
