Weather Forecasting
The five weather icons are Sunny, Partly Cloudy, Cloudy, Rainy, Stormy and Snowy.
The forecast icon is based on the rate of change of barometric pressure. Please allow at least
one month
for the weather station to learn the barometric pressure over time.

Weather Forecasting Description and Limitations
In general, if the rate of change of pressure increases, the weather is generally improving (sunny to
partly cloudy). If the rate of change of pressure decreases, the weather is generally degrading (cloudy,
rainy or stormy). If the rate of change is relatively steady, it will read partly cloudy.
The reason the current conditions do not match the forecast icon is because the forecast is a prediction
